Let's Connect (215) 631-3433

Have you ever felt, "Why is this happening to me, I don't know who I am anymore!" Constant worrying, low mood, relational challenges, and life transitions can wear you down. Simultaneously, navigating multiple cultural contexts can challenge your values and world views, often creating dissonance about who you are. Within the mindful space of therapy, I can help you examine the nature of your worries, the frequent blues, your existing thinking style, responses to people and the world around you. Through collaboration, I can offer alternative ways of thinking and responding to challenges, and help develop an effective coping toolkit.

I offer individual therapy for anxiety, depression, adjustment concerns, grief and loss, and life transitions, and couples therapy. Based on your needs and preferences, I observe, assess, and provide immediate feedback on your existing relational and thought patterns, and recommend concrete, specific coping strategies including mindfulness (18 years and >).

If you are looking for therapy that offers understanding, authenticity, and builds on coping for the concerns you are experiencing, let me offer you that space. Every being carries their presence, thinking, and relational styles into their lives. Using a mindfulness based approach, I focus on your strengths to promote the use of your potential authentically.
