Family Therapy in Wayne, PA

I have been a therapist for over 30 years, seeing individuals, couples, and families. My goal as a therapist is to connect with what you're going through so that I can help you understand and empower yourself more completely.

Despite living in unpredictable times, we can still find our strength and resilience. There is a way to feel safe while being in touch with your natural vulnerability.

I enjoy providing a relaxed therapeutic environment through therapeutic activities and sometimes even light humor.

We will be sensitive to your religious and cultural differences and perspectives.

I typically meet with clients on a one-on-one basis, but I am happy to schedule sessions with concerned partners, parents or other family members together with the client.

For 30 years, I have worked with adolescents and adults to improve the quality of their lives and to enhance their relationships.

You are facing a significant life challenge. Maybe it's the death of an important person, or the end of a relationship, or simply a natural life change. Possibly it is another type of challenge, such as recovery from addiction or trauma. Maybe your child is experiencing their own difficulties and you want to help them, but you aren't sure how. You have questions and concerns: Is what I'm feeling ok? How do I best help and support myself and/or my child? How will I re-make my life?

I work with individuals, families and couples that are working on healthy communication, divorce recovery, dating, infidelity recovery, domestic violence, recovering from narcissistic or sociopathic abuse, and self-esteem.
