Geriatric and Seniors Therapists in Devon, PA

I am currently offering in person sessions, pending availability on Thursdays, and virtual sessions daily. I work primarily with older adults and the younger adults in their lives. Many of my patients are experiencing challenges related to caregiving, retirement, changes in health, grandparenting issues, emerging cognitive changes, and associated stresses on relationships. I also see people coping with low self-esteem, depression and anxiety and other struggles that transcend aging.

As a therapist for 25+ years, I believe it is important to recognize a person's strengths to help them deal with emotional difficulties when they occur. I work with children, adolescents, adults, families and the elderly to enhance their coping skills, so they have a variety of options to deal with their life stresses. I enjoy working in collaboration with people of all ages and diagnoses to achieve their mental health goals. Being trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy I have a wealth of knowledge in teaching coping skills to help a wide variety of diagnoses.

CURRENTLY ONLY ACCEPTING TESTING CLIENTS, NO THERAPY CASES. I specialize in providing comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations of adolescents/adults throughout the lifespan with dementia, brain injury, learning disabilities, ADHD, and psychiatric disorders affecting cognitive functioning and wellness. I provide diagnostic evaluations for veterans through the VA, Independent Medical Evaluations for disability insurance companies, and guardianship evaluations for the courts. I evaluate clients in personal injury lawsuits and testify.I am board certified in clinical neuropsychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology.

We specialize in high quality neuropsychological/psychological assessment and treatment for youth, adults, and older adults. We work to help people assess and manage concerns about thinking, behaviors or emotions. Our approach is culturally informed and recognizes that one size does not fit all, so we tailor evaluations and treatment recommendations to help people function at their best. Our team is made up of competent professionals who care about our clients' well being. We work hard to make sure that our clients are heard, treated professionally, and ethically.

I am a licensed psychologist with 10 years of specialized neuropsychology training. I have evaluated hundreds of patients with complex psychiatric and neurological difficulties. I believe the first step to overcoming personal, occupational and academic difficulties is understanding the underlying causes. I believe personality, emotions and cognition are a product of biology and past experiences. In order to understand my patients, I rely on thorough assessment of their presenting difficulties, medical history and personal experiences. I use this information to create personalized, comprehensive evaluations of emotional and cognitive functioning. This allows me to accurately determine the causes of their difficulties and devise effective treatment recommendations.

My primary goal is to create a safe environment for my clients to examine the issues that are most important to achieving health, happiness, and greater satisfaction with life and relationships.

It is not uncommon during times that are personally challenging in one's life to question beliefs, doubt abilities and experience a decrease in self-esteem. As a licensed psychologist in private practice, I am dedicated to assisting clients in the creation of loving, healing relationships in every aspect of life. I provide a safe and welcoming environment in which clients focus on developing greater levels of self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-esteem. I offer supportive, caring therapy to women and men experiencing a variety of life issues and transitions.

When life's challenges feel overwhelming, burdensome, confusing, uncertain, hopeless, or difficult to imagine changed, it can make all the difference to find the right support to guide you or your loved one to a renewed sense of strength.

I focus a great deal on helping people expand their awareness of aspects of themselves and their important relationships that they have difficulty paying attention to and feeling. This increased awareness helps people feel more flexible and free to navigate the obstacles and cross-currents they find facing them in their lives, rather than remain stuck in repetitive cycles of suffering.

My practice offers treatment that is individually created for your specific needs and issues. I am devoted to creating a safe and caring environment to support your emotional, physical, spiritual and psychological well-being. I focus on guiding individuals toward health and healing using modern clinical practice, holistic therapeutic approaches, mindfulness and mind/body techniques. Our model is based on a functional medicine approach which seeks to identify and address the root causes of psychological conditions and medical illnesses using a strength-based approach that treats the whole person, not a collection of symptoms.

Welcome to my practice! My practice has a focus on psychological issues affecting individuals, couples, and families. I use a combination of psychoanalytic, psychodynamic and dialectical behavioral therapies. Psychoanalytic-psychodynamic therapy strives for personal growth through insight-oriented approaches. Dialectical behavioral therapies examine thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and the relationships and patterns between them. Additionally, I am the Co-Director of the Psychoanalytic-Psychotherapy Certification Program at the Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia.

If your problem is anxiety such as phobias (driving, bridges, heights, flying), constant worries, panic attacks, OCD, trauma, health concerns, and depression, I can help you. Persons who are otherwise function well can suffer from these problems. I'd like to help you with what you want to change. I want to understand your thinking patterns and how they impact your body, emotions, and behaviors, which may be affecting your problems. I will help you learn effective anxiety coping skills and problem solving skills so that after treatment, you will be equipped to deal with problems that arise in life.

It is my belief that everyone has suffered from a mood disturbance at one time in their life. What makes for different diagnosis is the intensity of the mood change and the duration. I believe we fuel our mood by our own cognitions and unhealthy habits and coping skills. My style is extremely interactive and direct, insuring results early on in the treatment process. When possible, I try treatment without medications, however there are chemical imbalances which must be treated via a Psychiatrist (for medications) and a psychotherapist for the psychoeducational piece,(talk therapy).I maintain relationships with area psychiatrists.

Are you anxious, depressed, maybe diagnosed with a serious illness? Are you losing sleep, in pain, scared, not knowing who to talk to? Maybe you’re confused about information your doctor or friends are giving you. I’d like to help. Would you like to find natural ways to reduce your physical and/or emotional symptoms, or bolster your immune system without interfering with what you and your health team are already doing? I work with people who have emotional or physical health concerns: anxiety, depression, relationship problems, cancer, autoimmune disorders, heart disease, and chronic pain.

I have over 30 years experience as a child and adult psychotherapist and psychiatrist. I practice primarily psychotherapy, addressing a full range of issues from emotional strains, trauma, loss and anxiety to developmental issues including autistic spectrum presentations, and psychosis. I am former Chair of the Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Training Program at the Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia. During this time of COVID and with the myriad of changes in our world, lives become unsettled at home, in our work, in our families and in our personal relationships. I work with children, adults, families, parents and infants.
