Therapists in Malvern, PA

I am a compassionate clinical social worker who believes in the ability of human beings to change their lives and behaviors.

I see the role of the therapist as being a facilitator; helping clients to explore their concerns or symptoms in order to gain insight into their lives and relationships.

I specialize in providing individual therapy to adults dealing with anxiety, eating disorders, addiction, stress, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, difficult life transitions, relationship issues, and LGBTQIA+ issues. I approach therapy from a Person-Centered perspective and utilize interventions primarily based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while integrating additional evidence-based treatment interventions and techniques best suited for each client and their particular problem.

With all clients, my goal is to help facilitate a dialogue that will assist individuals in building confidence to engage in meaningful relationships, increase problem solving skills and overall self-worth. Working with the client to achieve these goals, I provide an empathic, holistic, and safe space where clients become empowered to work towards a better understanding of themselves, building on the strengths they already possess.
