Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Brookhaven, PA

“The geriatric population had, recently, been under much scrutiny, as these individuals were among the greatest risk of developing severe illness from COVID-19. While the physical health of the elderly has been impacted during the pandemic, their period of isolation has affected their mental well-being, as well. Overwhelming anxiety and depression issues have skyrocketed for this population, creating greater need of services from clinicians, who work with these individuals.” As a member of the older adult/geriatric/elderly population, myself, I have dedicated a greater portion of my energies and professional focus.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience. I provide counseling to individuals, teens, couples and families. My training was specifically "systems" based so working within the dynamics of a couple or family is a process that I am very comfortable with. Typically I will incorporate Cognitive Behavioral techniques as well as Mindfulness-based techniques into therapy. I enjoy humor and, when appropriate, will use humor often in the counseling I provide. Most importantly, I strive to provide a safe, collaborative, objective and non-judgmental setting where all clients can process difficulties.

Are you afraid of losing your relationship? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, I am here to help. I have experience helping distressed families, working with couples who are breaking up, and improving parent-child relationships. I believe it's important to guide families even-handedly, not taking sides or making people feel guilty.

In my practice I work with individuals and couples. I believe that therapy can be a useful tool in learning to understand ourselves better, and in building more rewarding and healthy relationships with others. It is a unique opportunity to focus on what is important to us, and what may be preventing us from living to our full potential. In my practice I like to address emotional, cognitive and relational aspects of individual experience. My approach focuses on both, accomplishment of more pressing short term goals, as well as long term goals and personal growth.

Psychotherapy can bring light to darkness, hope to fear, and empowerment to stuck-places that weigh on us. I understand my role as your therapist as being a co-journeyer in your path through healing into a healthier, fulfilling life. My style focuses on reflective-empathetic listening to promote self-acceptance and awareness; cognitive flexibility and experimenting with new choices; and the affirmation of strengths. I have specialized experience with eating disorders, body image (HAES), and the effect of loved ones' addictions/alcoholism. I also value how culture, class, education, and power differences affect close relationships.

My goal in working with you is to hear your story, patiently help you make sense of your confusion and pain, help you create unique coping skills, and build a preferred life worth living. Years ago I worked with cancer patients and their families at a Bone Marrow Transplant Unit in South Carolina. Their situations were varied and complex, their physical and emotional pain was deep. As they talked about their pain, hopelessness, worthlessness, loss, anxiety, and uncertainty, together we made sense of their confusion. Likewise, as we work together, I will help you and your challenges in the same caring and skillful way.

I am a neuropsychologist primarily focused on diagnostic testing across the lifespan (birth to 100+). However, I also provide therapy to individuals and families surrounding a wide range of developmental, cognitive , psychiatric and behavioral challenges. My aim in both assessment and treatment is to offer a welcoming environment within which every patient has a safe space to share the narrative of their journey up to the present. This is done in a manner that honors the lens through which each of us sees the world, while also acknowledging the multiple systems with which we must often interface in order to meet our own needs.

I work with adolescents and adults who face challenges related to ADHD, learning problems, anxiety, stress management, and general wellness/lifestyle. Using a combination of cognitive -behavioral, psychodynamic, and relational techniques and theories I am able to tailor treatment to your specific needs. My emphasis is on connection, collaboration, and self-care throughout the treatment process. While my primary focus is individual therapy, at times I find it appropriate to incorporate family members into sessions to address issues such as parenting, family dynamics, relationship issues, or school problems.

My goal is to provide you with a safe, supportive, collaborative space that fosters long-term change by helping you understand the underlying thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that get you off track.
