Therapists in William Penn Annex West, PA

I offer virtual services and specialize in helping clients to overcome relationship challenges, manage anxiety and burnout, and find balance and boundaries. I also help clients to increase self love and compassion. In our work together, we can understand the root of the challenges you are facing, and discover more satisfying ways of living and engaging.

I believe in meeting people where they are, perpetuating meaningful and supportive connection. I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing abuse, neglect, and trauma and who are suffering from the consequences of that trauma. I will help you understand your specific trauma responses and how to change them. You can find relief. You can heal. My goal is to support you in making changes in your life that will lead to positive outcomes and a fulfilling life.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, feeling overwhelmed or lost? Maybe you feel unfulfilled in your relationships, career, or other key areas of your life. If you are ready to explore these parts of yourself and interrupt patterns that are no longer serving you, I can help with that. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process which allows us to look at the areas that are causing distress, and identify ways to adjust your thoughts and behaviors to create positive change. I provide therapy in a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable expressing yourself openly and authentically.

As a Black female or Person of Color, you may be unsure about finding a therapist that understands your needs. I'm here to ease your concerns! I help women become happier and live more authentically to achieve their Relationship Goals with themselves and others. During our session, you will be introduced to techniques to decrease frustration, improve your communication, and discover some things that will help to improve your relationships. Relationships can be challenging to navigate and need a lot of effort, focus, and energy. I work with you to identify problems, formulate solutions, and put relationship dynamics into context.

Feeling overwhelmed, grieving, going through a challenging transition, adjusting to a different culture, navigating issues in your relationship(s), struggling with being unmarried, or grappling with aging as an older adult? You may need a listening ear and someone to give you another perspective. I enjoy helping adults to affirm their identity and personality, find belonging, and process difficult emotions. I also provide pre-marital counseling. And I work with older individuals, and loved ones of those who are aging or dealing with dementia.

While starting therapy can seem intimidating or daunting, I want you to know that you always deserve to take up space in therapy. I aim to help clients uncover the strengths they already possess. My work with clients involves the following: celebrating culture, acknowledging marginalization & privilege, multiracial identities, interracial couples, navigating cishet-white spaces, balancing conflicting expectations, processing current events, challenging anxious thoughts, separating me (the person) from anxiety (the fear and uncertainty), unpacking past events, reducing miscommunication, and feeling seen/heard.

We all have points in our lives when a therapist can help us move through difficult times. You may feel stuck somehow, in pain, or just wanting support. You may be holding experiences from the past that still feel present or have pain from feeling unsafe in the world. I work with clients around depression/anxiety, grief, trauma, shame, and relationship issues. I also have clients wanting to deepen healing around racial trauma and white supremacy. Many of my clients also are trans/non-binary and I welcome supporting you on your journey of coming out or transitioning or if you are just looking for an affirming healing space.

Are you seeking to know yourself and others in a more genuine and authentic way? I believe that meaningful relationships with our self, our partner(s), family, friends, and community are essential to our overall sense of wellness, life satisfaction and emotional security. Using a systemic, attachment-based framework, I seek to create an environment that is affirming, strengths-based and collaborative, while also challenging my clients to identify narratives that no longer serve them, behaviors that move them further from their goals, and dynamics they feel stuck in.

Sometimes, life challenges us with painful experiences that can leave us feeling overwhelmed. These deep and untreated wounds can hinder one's ability to be their true authentic self and live an empowered life. My goal is to provide my clients with a safe space to explore, challenge, and remove harmful patterns in their lives and create transformational healing. Using a collaborative approach, I walk alongside my clients as they develop new awareness, empathy, and meaning in their lives. I strive to unburden my clients from anxiety, depression, relationship distress, unhelpful narratives, and trauma to enhance life satisfaction.

We’re in an age of overwhelm. I help clients develop healthy self-compassion as they balance responsibilities and relationships with the cumulative stress of unresolved traumas and/or the current economic, political, and environmental crises. When we explore patterns in our boundaries, families, and relationships, we can reveal deeper truths and unmet needs, and are empowered to make changes that promote safety and reduce the feeling of being stuck. It is important that you feel heard by a professional who supports you. Third Culture Kids, nomads, fish out of water, and micro-minorities welcome. We will create context.

In each of my therapy sessions, I seek to give the right support for clients to talk about the things that really matter. I listen carefully and engage deeply so I can provide the feedback and reflection you need to find your path forward with more clarity and confidence. I use my knowledge and experience to help you connect the dots and realize you are not alone. I believe change comes in small steps and I'm here to support you and to celebrate every victory.
