Therapists in Norristown, PA

As an experienced psychotherapist for over 20 years, I have helped people with a variety of problems, including relationship issues, work and school-related stress, adult-child and parent issues, eating disorders, post-adoption stress, and young adult life transitions. My style is warm and accepting, and my work addresses each individual's unique experiences as related to cultural background, environment, and family of origin history.

Welcome! Typically, I work with clients who are struggling with traditional behavioral health concerns such as anxiety, depression/grief, stress, relationship concerns & life transitions. As a trained health psychologist, I also work with clients who are struggling with issues such as sleep disturbance, high blood pressure/cholesterol, migraine/tension headaches, pain & newly diagnosed illness. For some, there is an intersection between physical & emotional health. When this is the case, I welcome collaboration with any treating specialists. I find that clients are best served when providers work together for your benefit.

We welcome you to Evergreen! We are a private practice group of compassionate and skilled Clinical Psychologists, Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Professional Counselors in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. We understand it's not easy to open up to someone you don't know, but we strive to make your experience as easy and comfortable as possible. We are here to support you, to help develop workable solutions, and to improve overall health and well-being. We know that change and happiness are possible. You don't have to struggle; help is available. Our office staff are here and want to hear from you.

I am dedicated to working with individual adults of all ages who are struggling with depression, stress, anxiety, and grief, among many other life challenges. By exploring and processing thoughts, feelings and behaviors together, we can work to promote change and enhance your quality of life. I have a special interest in working with adults navigating major life stage transitions, such as with chronic illness and changes that come with aging. I address these concerns, which can include anxiety, grief, dementia, end-of-life issues, and caregiving, in ways that embody compassion, dignity, and respect.

My approach to therapy is both compassionate and empathetic. I believe we all have the ability to grow and change if we have the necessary support, desire and tools. Through the therapeutic relationship and process, clients can improve the quality of their lives by gaining a better understanding of themselves. My goal is to help my clients gain courage and self awareness to live life fully. My approach is collaborative, intuitive and gestalt. I specialize in grief and loss, trauma, relationship issues, illness, anxiety, depression, women's issues, postpartum depression and issues related to chronic health.

We all struggle at times and life can feel overwhelming and unmanageable. I am so happy that you are taking the first steps in determining what you need to lead a happier, more fulfilled life. I know how difficult it can be to acknowledge that your life may not what you envisioned and it is a privilege to work through these challenges with you. My goal is to help you transition from a place of struggle to a place of hope by providing a safe and comfortable environment to discuss these personal life challenges. I provide a warm and collaborative approach offering guidance, support, insight, and hope for a more meaningful life.

We want to welcome clients who might be new to therapy but have struggled for a long time with depression, anxiety, family conflict or other mental health issues. You might have avoided therapy because of stigma or misconceptions. You feel overwhelmed at times and feel that now is the time to seek help. We can speak to anyone living in New Jersey and Pennsylvania through the convenience of tele-therapy. We have English and Korean speaking therapists who are compassionate and want to make therapy a comfortable experience for you.

My therapy style is interactive and experiential, balanced with compassion, inspiration, and humor. Using a strengths-based holistic approach, I'll help you develop practical and realistic skills to manage and resolve problems that keep you from fully participating in life.

Before you can even grab your coffee the intrusive thoughts and feelings flood in. The urge to do compulsions is on repeat in your mind throughout the day. Other people seem connected to their life, moving through it naturally and freely..... You want that too. I hear you! That's why I work with women to help them let go of the doubt & the need for certainty and to find peace & contentment in their life. I want you to learn how to stop answering the "what if..." questions and lean into your values-filled life instead.

If you're looking for a therapist because of depression, anxiety, stress, or difficulty adapting to a new season in life whether that's related to work, school, relationships, parenting, loss/grief, or a new medical diagnosis, I am here to help. I view therapy as a safe, non-biased, and non-judgmental place to express your thoughts and feelings. A place where one can seek clarity, peace, and healing.

I conduct court-ordered and private-pay evaluations. I am a well-known evaluator in the courts and legal system in the Lancaster area. Psychological Evaluations, Safety (5329) Evaluations, INS evaluations/Hardship Evaluations/Asylum Evaluations, N-648 evaluations, Child Custody Evaluations, Parenting Capacity Evaluations, Act 120/235/Concealed Carry, etc.

Everyone has a story and it is my privilege to be invited into yours. My unique blend of warmth and tenacity set me apart as a therapist and allow me to work with clients towards meaningful change. I value the relationships I form with clients and my goal is to make everyone I work with feel safe, respected and accepted for who they are. My practice is shaped by a combination of formal education and hands-on experience, including training in psychoanalysis, couples counseling, ExRP, play therapy and family therapy.

Throughout my career I have enjoyed working as a psychologist delivering counseling, consultation and assessment services. I consider it a privilege to be invited into an individual's world at a time of need and work hard to build a trusting alliance with each person. I listen to my clients and engage them around the unique stories they share so we can set goals and a treatment plan that is personally tailored to each individual and/or couple. My approach is based on years of experience and a solid theoretical foundation. It is a relational one such that I use our therapeutic connection to facilitate change.

No matter what life brings you, treatment can bring you "home." All walks of life and all experiences are unique, so your treatment will be tailored to fit for you. Direction, support, guidance and healing available now.

We specialize in high quality neuropsychological/psychological assessment and treatment for youth, adults, and older adults. We work to help people assess and manage concerns about thinking, behaviors or emotions. Our approach is culturally informed and recognizes that one size does not fit all, so we tailor evaluations and treatment recommendations to help people function at their best. Our team is made up of competent professionals who care about our clients' well being. We work hard to make sure that our clients are heard, treated professionally, and ethically.

I often view my work as supporting bodies in transition - in whatever form that comes. Many of my clients are those with medical illness or injury, caregivers, mothers, or trauma survivors who are faced with the impact that change in their physical self has on their mental and emotional well-being. Clients often wish to explore the mind-body connection, integrate non-verbal approaches, or find a new perspective on therapy. I also work with infants and children who deserve the same compassionate care, but don't benefit from verbal therapy in the same way.

When was the last time you took care of you? As a person that’s taking care of everyone else and the endless task list, you don’t remember the last time you watered your own garden (or where the heck the watering can even is). And even though you are really doing an amazing job taking care of everyone around you, you’re exhausted, burnt out, and wondering when this drought is going to stop. Oh, and by the way, you ARE allowed to fill your own water tank…without feeling guilty and while still caregiving or helping others heal around you. What if you could find a little peace in your day as you do all the 879 things on your list?

Life's complexities often give us transitions we may not be prepared for. My intent is to support and empower my clients as they learn how to support themselves. I hope to join you in gaining new clarity and perspective during times of change. I have worked with individuals who are chronically ill, older adults and their families for over a decade and have a particular appreciation for supporting those during the sacredness of end of life. Grief and loss is a complicated process, let me join you as we navigate living through loss together.

Are you a teen, adult or young adult feeling sad, stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, hurt, or alone? Have you experienced a loss or life transition that is difficult to make sense of?

My team and I are passionate healers! We work collaboratively with you to create an effective healing experience tailored to your unique needs.
