Anxiety Therapists in Gladwyne, PA

I believe that everyone is unique in their own way and that everyone's personal background brings a unique perspective. I aim to explore that perspective and help guide client’s in a place where they feel safe and comfortable. This allows for mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth. I create an individualized treatment plan for each client and help them develop realistic and attainable goals. Psychoeducation is an intervention I often incorporate and I tend to put an emphasis on coping skills, self care, and healthy boundaries, as they are all a very important piece of the healing and growing process.

My approach with my clients is flexibly implementing evidence-based therapeutic techniques (i.e., approaches that have been scientifically proven for decades to be successful). I believe that effective therapy needs to help build skills such as understanding and regulating emotions, relaxation strategies, understanding and managing thought patterns and beliefs, communication and social skills, etc. These skills are vital in addressing anxiety and depression.

It can be difficult to find the time and energy to confront the things that make us unhappy, or to simply explore who we are and how we came to be that way. You may feel "stuck" in certain patterns of relationships, and wish that you were more content. You may want to have someone outside of your experiences to help give you perspective on these issues, but worry about finding the right person for that job. I'm happy to meet with you, and to figure out together if we are a good fit.

We often have what we need within us to heal, but sometimes anxiety, depression, or internal conflict can get in our way from making the progress that we want to feel. Do you want to wake up on time but depression makes it difficult? Or, are you having difficulty starting or completing projects? Tele-therapy can help you cope with the stressful things in your life, so that you can move forward in how you want to. I can provide virtual therapy to anyone in Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Washington state. I have extensive experience and abundant joy working with folks in the LGBTQ+ & poly/nonmonogamous communities.

I am passionate about helping adolescents and adults (16+) manage anxiety, depression, emotion dysregulation, increase pleasure and mastery, navigate complex situations, and feel more confident engaging in their everyday lives. I have intensive training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I utilize evidence-based treatment approaches such as CBT, DBT, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and trauma treatments such as prolonged exposure (PE) and cognitive processing therapy (CPT) to help clients live more fulfilling lives, become unstuck, and build a life worth living.

Seeking therapy is often a difficult first step in the process of beginning to explore an issues that cause you distress. Gaining a deeper understanding of these issues - conflictual relationships, anxiety, balancing motherhood with life stresses, depression - can help you to function better in the workplace and in your personal life. Therapy is a joint process. My goal is to work together to develop insight into the things that are bothersome to you so that your overall well-being improves. I have created a comfortable environment in my Gladwyne office to begin the process of exploring your issues further.

To others it may seem like you've got it all together, but on the inside you're spinning out of control. Panic randomly punches you in the chest, taking your breath away, and you can't focus on anything else other than how to make it stop. You are consumed by trying to keep up with everyone else since they seem to have it all together, but you can barely function through the day. You feel like an awful mom because you are lashing out on your kids and hating the daily monotony instead of "embracing the joy of motherhood." You feel like you are failing your partner because somewhere along this journey you just lost yourself.

I approach therapy logically while using a combination of therapeutic approaches and grounding in CBT techniques to help you achieve real change. For OCD and severe anxiety, I utilize a combination of CBT and ERP strategies. I’ve worked with clients from many different cultural backgrounds, presenting with a variety of mental health issues.

No matter whether your problem is anxiety, depression, work, money or relationship stress, I can work with you to resolve these issues.

Empathic listening (putting myself in your shoes) and responding accurately to your concerns builds a working connection that creates the context for change.

Life can be increasingly difficult to manage in our current social and economic environment. It can feel increasingly difficult to cope with life’s stressors as we struggle with our relationships as well as our own feelings of self-worth. Feelings of depression and anxiety can easily take hold of us, becoming increasingly dangerous to our wellbeing. There are times that it becomes increasingly important for us to have someone to turn to for support in times of despair. The way we feel about ourselves very often defines our relationships with others.

We all need space to prioritize our thoughts and feelings, to say what we need to say out loud, to someone who will not judge us for how we think and feel. Oftentimes, we cannot expect the people in our lives to be impartial or unbiased. Sometimes the people in our lives are far too involved in what causes us to need this space, to process our trauma, and they might not realize why we are anxious or depressed. In the therapeutic relationship, it is all about what you want and need. I will listen and ask thoughtful questions and help you recognize patterns and make connections.
