A positive corrective experience is achieved when the therapist and client together resolve emotional pain.

Grab your favorite emotional support water bottle, and let's talk. I am an experienced therapist who can support and challenge you during good times and bad.

The difficult experiences one has in life can serve as the very reason one can be extraordinary. These challenges can make one feel as if she / he is alone in a confusing and sometimes overwhelming journey. I would be honored to have the opportunity to assist you in moving through challenge without judgement and with a sensitivity to your individuality.

How does the "talking cure" help? It might have even been called the "listening cure." Having a helpful and supportive ear is something many people find they need at various transition points in their lives. Having a safe place to talk, in a warm and supportive environment, is crucial. The tool of our work is the relationship and, as research has shown, is the most important predictor of success in psychotherapy. I enjoy working with my patients as they seek to find their way to a richer and more fulfilling life.

I believe that you are already capable of change and I guide you through stepping into it. I specialize in anxiety and relationships. Much of my work has been in treating anxious individuals who struggle with worry, self-doubt, and "analysis paralysis". I can help you recognize what is interfering with your daily life, relationships and overall well-being and adopt healthier belief systems. I am also especially passionate about helping couples recognize the "stuck points" in their communication patterns and ways of relating to each other and replace them with with vulnerability, closeness, and connection.

I specialize in treating adults and young adults experiencing anxiety related disorders. My clients often seek treatment for symptoms of panic, intrusive thoughts, intense feelings of worry and rumination, relationship difficulties, problems with sleeping or eating, and avoidance of situations.

You deserve a life that is purposeful, productive, and peaceful.

I've worked with young children, tweens, teens, young adults and individuals approaching retirement.

Life gets hard. I hope to offer you a patient, comfortable place where you can find support and restoration, as you work to process through whatever life is throwing at you. I firmly believe that the key to emotional health starts with learning to love yourself. And if you’re seeking therapy, you’re already a step closer to that goal. I use a strengths-based approach that focuses around bringing awareness to your feelings and their sources, and an understanding of the way that these feelings connect to your behaviors. From there, we can work together to help you cultivate a sense of control over your life.

"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I change" - Carl Rogers. I love this quote because it embodies our need for change and growth - and it also acknowledges how essential it is that we grow to become comfortable with who we are through mastery and exploration of our inner world. In my experience, it has been critical that we form a trusting, judgement-free, scientifically valid, and sacred environment for these transformations to take place. As a caring and trusting team, you and I work with to find meaning, healing, and plot a course to reduce your symptoms and improve your functioning.

My passion for treating teens and adults with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) comes from years of seeing clients genuinely heal from this incredibly effective approach to treatment and go on to live happy and productive lives more fulfilling than they ever thought possible. Difficulty managing strong emotions can negatively influence every aspect of a person's life from intimate relationships, to one's work environment, and family connections. By utilizing a combination of skills training (in an individual or group format) along with individual DBT sessions, my clients complete treatment armed with the skill-set and knowledge to reach their true potential.

I have worked as a therapist in a variety of mental health settings including inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization programs, and outpatient therapy. I specialize in the treatment of Depression, Anxiety, OCD and trauma, as well as coping with challenges such as chronic pain and life transitions. Although I work with clients of all ages, I largely work with young to middle-aged adults in individual therapy.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania and have been working in mental health since 2008. I began my work in a preschool partial hospitalization program and a community outpatient program with children, adults, and families. I have also worked as a Family Based Services (FBS) therapist and director of the FBS program, as well. I co-founded Conshohocken Counseling Services in 2012 and have been enjoying providing clients with assistance in their life journeys since then.

I am a Licensed Social Worker specializing in working with teens and adults experiencing issues around substance abuse, depression, anxiety, life stage transitions, and interpersonal difficulties. I enjoy meeting with clients who are motivated and willing to work collaboratively to address various life challenges. I have extensive experience working with clients in all levels of care with a focus on mental health issues including addiction, trauma, depression, and anxiety. My therapeutic focus is to use motivational interviewing and a humanistic approach to help empower clients to reach their true potential.

As a therapist, I work with my clients to help them move toward a fulfilling, connected, and meaningful life. As human beings, we each have core yearnings to belong, to feel our experience is meaningful, and to know our lives matter. Unfortunately, because life sometimes involves emotional, psychological, social, and physical pain we can get stuck in patterns that don’t serve us. I help people to stop doing the things that move them away from the kind of life they most want, and to start taking the kinds of steps that lead them toward who they most want to be.

As a therapist, my passion lies in collaboratively working with adults, guiding them through the therapeutic process while supporting self-reflection, insight, and understanding patterns of behaviors, thoughts, and emotions that become troublesome and ineffective. I provide a safe and unbiased environment to find a healthy and effective balance in life as daily stressors and events can be challenging and overwhelming to manage. Through individualized treatment planning, my approach is solution focused and personalized to fit the needs of each individual to effect personal change, develop healthy coping skills, and progress towards meaningful goals.
