Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in 21214

I do therapy backwards. I help people first find acceptance of what's challenging them, and focus on making that feeling of discomfort feel safe. I believe that allowing the experience of the full range of human emotions is key to reclaiming and strengthening our emotional resiliency. We can accept the presence of discomfort and feel joy, while identifying and making changes based on who we want to be or know we are. My therapy practice is based in an understanding of the nervous system, mindfulness, and the ways we all experience and react to trauma and distress.

I am currently only accepting clients that are interested in the collective transformation power of group counseling. I understand that group work can be a bit intimidating but most of our group members have had that fear and once they’ve report that they prefer group over individual psychotherapy. Additionally, research supports that group is as effective if not more effective than individual psychotherapy. My ideal client are those who are seeking to grow through collective work. Individual sessions are made available for group participants as needed.

In today’s world it is easy to feel disconnected and overstimulated. Whether it be from work, school, kids, friends, family, or romantic partners. You might often feel the overwhelming pressure to “have it all.” My goal as a therapist is to help you navigate and process your unique experiences free from judgement and centered around trust. I use a trauma informed, strengths-based approach tailored to your individual needs. I value helping you find meaningful connection within the world around you- and more importantly within yourself.

Are you struggling with anxiety? Would you like to set more boundaries in your life? Are you a member of the LGBTQIA+ community looking for a Queer-identified, affirming therapist? Is your relationship causing you stress? These are areas I thrive in supporting. Research shows that the success of therapy often depends on the “fit” between the client and therapist. With a background as a sexuality educator and communication facilitator, I’m experienced in creating a safe space for individuals and people in relationships to bring their concerns, build skills, and feel more comfortable having difficult conversations.

The journey of life can lead us to challenging spaces and take unexpected turns. You may find yourself needing support, direction, or relief. Therapy maybe just the support you need to guide you through your experiences. It’s a safe space that promotes healing and growth.

Caring for others while trying to care for yourself can be one of the toughest challenges. If you are caring for a parent, spouse, child, or other loved one with medical conditions and complex needs, you may feel isolated, exhausted, overwhelmed, and unappreciated. You may even have your own health issues to manage on top of it all. Finding time for yourself is essential, but often seems impossible. Others may have unrealistic expectations and judgments they put on you. Endless medical appointments and things to remember can leave you feeling depleted at the end of the day.

We often do not prioritize giving ourselves the time and space to explore what is going on within us and untangle our emotions.

My goal is to create that safe space while helping you tend to your heart, mind, and body on your journey towards healing.

I have 29 yrs of clinical experience working with diverse groups & varied settings. I believe everyone has an inherent right to dignity, agency & peace.

The mental health spectrum is wide and because of that everyone’s needs will differ. My ideal client is someone who desires change, or support, and is actively in pursuit of their mental health goals.
