Therapists in Bryn Mawr, PA

I have experience working with a diverse set of populations, including those who have struggled with intimate partner/domestic violence, substance misuse, trauma, and other mental health disorders (specifically anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD). I work with individuals struggling with unhealthy relationship patterns, relational violence, childhood trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, mood disruptions, racial trauma, and work dissatisfaction/burnout. Additionally, I am passionate about advocating for and working with BIPOC individuals, the LGBTQIA+ community, and survivors of relational and/or sexual abuse.

Hello! I am a queer therapist who primarily works within the LGTBQIA+ community. Coming to terms with who you are in a world that wants to reject everything around you is a wildly difficult experience. My goal is to help you become the person you want to be. Having said that, I also work with anyone who is feeling othered by the world around us. It has always been oppressive living as a minority in the U.S., but it has recently gotten that much harder. I want nothing more for you, then to be able to lean into what it means to be you. Everyone has a thing (or a lot of things) that stop you from becoming who you are.

If you or a loved one are experiencing changes in memory, attention and concentration or have changes in thinking due to aging, I can help. Conditions such as dementia, ADHD, Multiple Sclerosis and brain injury can cause difficulties with cognition. My goal as a Neuropsychologist is to help clients achieve optimal mental and cognitive health and assist them in coming back to wholeness in a new way. This includes working with those who are experiencing stress or trauma within their life, medical challenges, and cognitive changes secondary to aging and/or neurological conditions.

Welcome. The choice to take action towards creating positive change in your life is a big step. I bring twenty-five years of holistic experience to our work, skills that combine traditional therapies, coaching strategies, and the integration of mindfulness/meditation from my yoga background. We often work to reduce emotional reactivity, utilize breathing and relaxation skills to help you to be more present in your life, as well as helping you to slow things down in stressful situations. You develop greater awareness of thoughts/feelings, as well as greater self-understanding related to old patterns that may have kept you stuck.

I provide a full range of Psychological Evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. These types of evaluation helps to clarify difficulties with attention, concentration, and other behavioral difficulties, especially if they are affecting performance in the classroom or work environment. If you think you or your child may be struggling with ADHD or a learning disability, I can help provide the testing needed for a diagnosis, as well as detailed recommendations to support accommodations to help you or your child reach optimal potential. Evaluations are highly customized to meet the individual needs or you or your child.

If you're feeling in need of support or you would like to evaluate aspects of your life that aren't serving you well, I'm here to help. I work with individuals facing life challenges including anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. I can also provide guidance on how to best support a loved one struggling with an eating disorder.

Does anxiety or depression keep you from being able to live the life you want? Are feelings of fear and worry stopping you from doing the things you want to do and impacting your relationships? Perhaps you are weighed down by shame, guilt and other negative thinking patterns. Is it difficult to engage with your teen without conflict or being shut down? These can be difficult to talk about and sift through on your own. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe place where you can share your story, experience healing, feel empowered and be inspired to live a meaningful and purposeful life.

Discussing our concerns in therapy can be daunting, so my goal is to create a space where clients can be comfortable enough to engage with uncomfortable thoughts, emotions, and experiences. In my career I have worked at University Counseling Centers including NYU, Drexel, and SJU, and also with Veterans at the Brooklyn VA. Through these experiences I have worked with individuals from varied backgrounds who have come to work on a range of issues ranging from managing the difficulties of growing independence to the significant impacts of past traumatic experiences.

When you look at your child, you see strength and potential within them; but big emotions and challenging behaviors can cause you to lose sight of those positives, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and lost. Children are complex, perceptive beings who know and understand more than we give them credit for, but they aren't always the best communicators, especially when it comes to their emotions. Thankfully, there is hope! Taking the time to understand your child's perspective and experience will help you connect with them on a deeper level, setting the foundation for strong and secure relationships for life.

The process of finding a psychologist who is a good fit for either yourself or a family member can be overwhelming and frustrating. I make it a point to ensure that clients who reach out to me feel heard and understood. Therapy can only be effective if it is a collaborative process in which clients feel they have a say in their own treatment. I mainly practice from a cognitive-behavioral perspective (CBT), but I also use other modalities in sessions in order to best meet the needs of my clients.

I conduct neuropsychological and psycho-educational evaluations with children and adults. I assess for psychological/psychiatric and brain-related issues, including traumatic brain injury and concussion, toxic exposure, such as lead poisoning, ADHD, learning disabilities, dementia, stroke, anoxia, epilepsy, etc. I also assess patients who are involved in litigation and I serve as an expert witness in court.

I have expertise in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of mental health disorders and/or developmental disabilities.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help my clients with marriage and relationship problems, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and other issues.

My practice is in network with several managed care companies, or I can assist you in filing a claim with your insurance company.

I am a relationship therapist and life coach. My typical clients: You are having trouble with the difficult people in your life.
