Therapists in Bryn Mawr, PA

“There's a complete breakdown in communication.” Relationships are often a union of opposites. Family backgrounds and life philosophies are different. So, it’s no surprise that conflicts arise. When it comes to how we handle that conflict, one partner wants to brush it under the rug and hopes it passes, while the other wants to come at it head-on. If we are not careful, resentment emerges. Couples therapy builds a better relationship for BOTH of you. Improving communication, parenting, trust, intimacy, and conflict management will make your relationship more satisfying.

Health and healing are journeys. We are always honored when clients ask us along on their journey towards recovery from the trauma or devastation robbing them of the ability to trust themselves or others.

Now Accepting New Clients for May: Individuals, couples, and families- Therapy is a collaborative journey of discovery. It is my belief that our healing lies in the gifts we have yet to uncover. As we learned to exist in this challenging world, these gifts often became clouded or adapted to meet our survival needs. The weight of our past, the stress of our daily lives, and our fears for the future can begin to drag us down and dull our experience. Through a process that is gentle, intuitive and individually tailored my goal is to help you unearth your gifts so you can move through your life with more lightness and ease.
