My specialty is in working with eating disorders, trauma, substance abuse, LGBTQIA+ issues, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and borderline personality disorder. I aim to empower my clients to examine themselves and their environments, develop healthier relationships and coping mechanisms, build resilience, and embrace their identities fully, while addressing the emotional and psychological factors that contribute to their struggles.
My therapy philosophy incorporates elements of exposure therapy (such as CPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other mindfulness based elements to match what might resonate best with your needs and style.
At the Philadelphia Center for Psychotherapy, it's very important to us that you feel safe in therapy, so we will work together to create a treatment plan that feels authentic and manageable to you. I would be happy to talk more about my practice and your needs in therapy. You can contact me directly or through our website, and schedule a free consultation.
