Therapists in Media, PA

I am one of those therapists who genuinely loves their work. Getting to understand my clients and the hurdles they face is a privilege that I take seriously. If you are struggling to form and maintain healthy intimate relationships, overcome trauma, to coexist with and even manage anxiety and depression, to gain new approaches to coping with obsessive compulsive symptoms... well, these are just a few of the issues that we can work on together! We can navigate this journey as a team, collaborate on setting realistic goals, and then you can define what "progress" would look like in your eyes.

One of the most powerful experiences that a person can have is sitting across from another human being and feeling understood. I approach therapy with a multicultural lens, cognizant of the fact that every person is an individual that has been shaped by their own cultural backdrop (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, spiritual path, etc.). I emphasize the role of the client as the expert on their world; and therapy as a collaboration. Through this collaboration and my understanding of the client as an individual within larger intersecting systems (e.g., family, school), I strive to effect positive therapeutic outcomes.

As a psychoanalyst with eleven years of clinical experience, I can work with you to analyze your life experiences and the unconscious determinations that may be keeping you stuck in some ideas and negative affects. An important aspect of my practice is creating a safe space where you can express yourself freely and work through your thoughts and feelings, while I actively listen, ask questions, and dialogue with you until unheard possibilities arise. Psychoanalysis shows us that words carry the extraordinary power to change not only symptoms but also bodies and perspectives.

Life is complicated and each individual's situation is unique. No one escapes having difficulties in life. Some are tougher obstacles and we might need help figuring out how that affects us personally. Together we can work through those obstacles life handed you. Let's talk about moving forward. You aren’t alone - Help is availble!

(This practice works with adults only and does not accept insurance). If you are overly concerned about pleasing others and have difficulty saying “no,” you probably end up feeling frustrated and resentful. If you then criticize yourself for having those feelings, you might feel stuck in an endless cycle of shame and guilt. But there is hope! You can change your self-talk, strengthen your self-esteem, set clear boundaries, and develop a healthier work/life balance. To hear from others who’ve worked with me, check out testimonials on my website, www.forhealingandhope.com, and let’s connect to see how I can best support you.

Do you seek a deeper understanding of why you do the things you do? Are you struggling but you’re not exactly sure why or what to do about it? Taking the step to explore a better understanding of yourself in therapy, is empowering, purposeful, and courageous. Through an authentic connection and openness, I believe change, growth, and healing can occur. Together, we identify areas that are impacting your thinking, behavior, and relationships, seek out and examine their origin, find meaning, and work towards achieving and practicing new, healthier ways of relating and understanding.

I have been working as a psychoanalyst for almost twenty years and understand how challenging it can be to seek help at times. However, as we all need assistance at various moments in our lives, embarking on psychotherapy is an important step. Working with psychoanalysis can help you better understand the past experiences that shaped your character, as well as your future, desires, goals you aspire to achieve and the fears and obstacles you encounter. I can listen to patients in English, Portuguese (my native language), and Spanish. I have experience with student's mental health, depression, anxiety, psychosis and another diagnosis.

I currently work using Teletherapy in PA and FL. 6 children's openings have just become available! I have over 20 years of experience in both Psychotherapy and Board-Certified Music Therapy where I am trained in both Psychotherapeutic and Medical Models. I enjoy working with those individuals ages 2 through end of life. My life’s work as a teacher, medical worker, trainer, clinician and clinical supervisor have prepared me to treat various patients by providing psychotherapy to other professionals such as physicians, attorneys, bankers, front line medical and auxiliary workers. Helping others to heal is my passion.

Deeply passionate about social justice and facilitating and guiding positive change and development in the lives of others, I am thrilled to connect with you as you begin your journey inward.

As a black, gender non-binary Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), I have a personal stake and insight into the work I do. My clinical practice aims to empower and heal individuals, families & communities through therapy, consulting, case management, training, & community outreach.
