Are the pressures of internal struggles mixed with the external reality of 2025 becoming too much? Alternately, has something just happened in your life that you simply don’t know how to master, even though you are usually competent and confident? Therapy, as I deliver it, is meant to give you some relief.
Most of us never were taught how to navigate conflict fairly or how to deal with the darker side of life and its tragedies. You can learn to better manage relationships, conflict, life changes, day-to-day stress, and even trauma. You can be confident that your therapy will be tailored to honor your needs and unique background.
I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an evidence based treatment. I season it with warmth and humor. My clients include a varied mix of professionals in healing professions, law, technology, education, and other fields. Some enjoy physical health and others must cope with chronic illness.
Take a meaningful step towards finding relief from your many pressures and moving towards a more prosperous and easier life. Call today for a free phone consultation at 215-564-4669 to discuss your individual situation.
