LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Ardmore, PA
I also offer therapy intensives when weekly counseling isn’t enough, along with LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy and support for athletes and adults with ADHD.
You may look “fine” on the outside—successful at work, showing up for family and friends—while inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Perhaps you’re an athlete navigating performance pressure, a student struggling with ADHD, someone carrying unresolved trauma, or a person wrestling with body image concerns. Deep down, you want steadiness, clarity, and a more compassionate relationship with yourself. I specialize in trauma therapy, EMDR, DBT, and parts work, supporting adults who are ready to move beyond coping and toward lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and paced with care.

My approach involves bringing change about from the inside out. We will work towards understanding how the problems that brought you here developed, what they mean, and the purpose that they serve. This approach goes beyond simply treating symptoms and strives to help you make changes that are deeply-rooted and long-lasting. It has been proven that the therapeutic relationship actually creates healthier connections in your brain. In younger children this deeper type of therapeutic change is often accomplished through therapeutic play. Play is the natural language of children and allows them to express their thoughts and feelings.

Difficult experiences in childhood can linger on in adulthood as low self esteem, difficulties dating, and feeling like an imposter. You may also wonder if better relationships with difficult family members are possible. I specialize in working with individuals who want relief from anxiety, insecurities and a harsh inner critic, but also want to better understand themselves. As a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic therapist, I can help you make sense of how the past lives on in the present, so that you can get unstuck from patterns that no longer serve you, to live with greater clarity, confidence and joy.

Much of my success in working with children has come from my ability to effectively establish a strong therapeutic relationship. I give children a safe place in which they can effectively express their feelings. Boundaries are extremely important in this process. My patients know that what they say in my office stays in my office. I work collaterally with families to help address a child's needs, without violating the trust or the boundaries we have established. Much of my work has been with children who have anxiety, depression, ADHD, and learning differences. Many of my patients have a combination of these issues. I

Anxiety is a pain. Struggling with self-doubt and constant worry can be overwhelming. My clients feel like they’re never quite 'good enough.' They compare themselves to others and constantly criticize themselves. These habits feel helpful in the moment, but leave them feeling stressed, tired, and overwhelmed. They might even feel like they can't shake their past mistakes or traumas. So much so, that they don't get the opportunity to fully enjoy the lives they've built for themselves or their relationships. My clients want to slow down and rest but are afraid that if they do, they'll fail.
