Are you looking for someone with whom you can have an open, honest, direct, and thoughtful conversation about whatever matters most to you? Someone who will listen carefully and attentively to you? Someone who will engage you in warm, candid, and supportive dialogue in ways that encourage you and help you to grow as a person?

At the most basic level, therapy is an opportunity to make an intentional connection with each other in order to bring about greater awareness and understanding, and, ultimately, healing.

Feeling like you haven't been yourself lately or like you can't fully enjoy spending time with family and friends can be frustrating and confusing. Constantly trying to figure out "what is wrong" and how to fix it can be a daunting task. First off, let me tell you nothing is wrong with you. You may just lack the coping skills and a comfortable/safe space to sort things out. I understand the unique challenges that women face in today's world. Whether it's navigating relationships, coping with life transitions, managing stress, or addressing issues related to self-esteem, body image, or motherhood, I am here to listen and help.

I'm a seasoned therapist, in private practice more than 25 years, previously a teaching and supervising faculty member at a Philadelphia medical/graduate school. I don't do "pop" psychology, nor use any fad techniques. In my work, symptom relief is just the first step into a collaborative process in which we explore deeper issues. These underlying thoughts and feelings often center around relationships, both past and present. Hopefully, you emerge from this process stronger, grounded in meaning and satisfaction in your life and its many choices. I"ll be as decent and caring a therapist as I can.

Therapy can be an uplifting experience that can assist you in gaining perspective in life. Challenges are inevitable. It can be years in the making or come on suddenly without warning. Life can be overwhelming but the good news is that you do not have to face it alone. Whether it is exploring the past, coping with your current stressors or planning for future successes...Therapy can help! In a safe and non-judgmental setting, therapy can provide an outlet for self exploration.

I work with those who feel disconnected from their original self, to reconnect and experience full-body, heartfelt, vibrancy in their life. I work from the perspective that our psyche is purposeful and always working to heal us. Often, our inner voice, innate wisdom, and desire to move toward greater connection with ourselves and others gets lost in the pain and struggle of life. Instead of being a strength, we lose contact with our deepest, truest self. I seek to co-create a therapeutic space where clients can rediscover their strengths, explore their lives, deepen their self-awareness, and reconnect.

At some point in our lives, we arrive at a crossroads where we realize that the ways in which we have been engaging in life are no longer working for us. Our behaviors, values, and ways of thinking are so familiar and comfortable to us yet are simultaneously causing us grief and pain. We feel blocked from finding inner peace and reaching our full potential. The purpose of therapy is to help us recognize and work through these antiquated patterns so that we can start engaging with ourselves and the world around us in a fresh, new way that results in a healthier, happier, and more authentic life.
