Somatic Therapists in Exton, PA

I am an empathic guide who will help you to challenge your limiting beliefs and find your voice. I love working with young adults and adults who are seeking to align with their values, be authentic, and trust their intuitive guidance and compass. Together we examine your patterns of relationship and thought and how early experiences may be impacting you today. By healing and processing past and current stressors, my clients learn how to trust themselves, protect themselves energetically, and develop coping skills that leave them feeling empowered and confident in meeting the world as it changes around them.

A graduate of Temple University, I have been a licensed psychologist since 1996. I work with a wide variety of clients and presenting problems including anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss. I have specific expertise in the areas of early trauma, childhood and adolescent issues, parenting and chronic stress. Throughout my experience I have witnessed remarkable healing and a return to a sense of wholeness and aliveness that comes with support through honest and gentle exploration, reflection and self-awareness. The results often manifest in improved relationships, judgment and clarity.

My passion in life is to help others break free from eating disorders and disordered eating so that they can live fuller lives. I am an Art Therapist and Licensed Practicing Counselor with many years in the field. I believe each person's needs are different and unique. Part of recovery is becoming more connected to the self and ultimately more aware of your needs so that symptoms become less desirable. I work with clients with eating disorders as well as family members who may need guidance and direction in how to help their loved ones.

My therapeutic approach is informed by my background in meditation, Eastern contemplative philosophy, and evolutionary psychology. I work with clients to establish a treatment plan that is uniquely sensitive to their particular clinical needs and concerns. Some of the most common techniques I employ focus on the important relationship between body and mind; these experiential, somatic , and cognitive interventions allow for critical shifts in perspective that promote meaningful and enduring behavioral change.

Highly sensitive old soul or empath, you and I will explore more deeply together than in traditional talk therapy. You've likely tried psychotherapy before but have noticed that the work has either gone nowhere or taken you only so far, or you felt misunderstood. With an uncanny and intuitive ability to "get" people from so many walks of life, I will invite you to go beneath your thoughts, connect with your body at a safe pace, and gently access the root of of your emotional discomfort and hurts to facilitate noticeable shifts with each session.

I will work with you to resolve areas where you may feel misunderstood, confused, or stuck. Studies have shown that we are able to change throughout our lifespan. This means we do not have to be stuck living the same way forever. My approach is psychodynamic psychotherapy where two people work together to understand what is contributing to one’s suffering and to find a path forward, toward recovery. I enjoy working with adults and adolescents looking for a change and a way to experience happiness in life.

If you struggle with distressing emotions, find yourself repeating unwanted behaviors, or feel just plain stuck: welcome. You're not alone and you're certainly not without any help. I aspire to guide individuals seeking confidence, clarity, and a resolute sense of self. In our work together, you can discover that you have the innate qualities of a leader to navigate anything in life, including the challenges you are currently facing.

As a clinician who specializes in relationship issues and self esteem, I am a focused, engaged and passionate helper. I work with my clients to explore self-defeating thoughts that contribute to their life challenges, with the intent of achieving a more balanced (and "fair") interpretation of themselves and their surroundings. As a classically trained cognitive behavioral therapist, I am a firm believer in the notion that past traumas play-out in our adult lives.

I believe in every person's ability to learn, change, and grow. I can support your journey of exploration and discovery that can lead to life-changing insight. A greater understanding of oneself and how to navigate the ups and downs of life is within reach. Meaningful reflection can help find the clarity needed to successfully manage personal, or professional, difficulties. With knowledge, tools, and intention life can be transformed, a more authentic self can be realized, and life can be aligned with what's important and made more meaningful.
