Narrative Therapists in Haverford, PA

I am curious about your story, your experiences, and what brings you to therapy. In our work together we explore your lived experiences through story. Your stories help us understand “the problem” in unique and remarkable ways. We collaborate to identify skills, values, and beliefs that will assist in developing a new perspective to the problem. In the words of Narrative Therapy’s founders, “the problem is the problem, not the person.” This approach is primary rooted in narrative therapy, which uses storytelling and collaboration as keys to achieving therapeutic change.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) within the state of Pennsylvania. I am a trauma informed therapist who offers specialized care in the treatment of trauma as well as addiction related concerns. I hold certifications as a certified clinical trauma professional level 2 (CCTP-II) and certified advanced alcohol and drug counselor (CAADC). I also offer support for other common challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship/attachment concerns, life stressors, perinatal concerns, and struggles with self-esteem/identity. I am an LGBTQ+ ally and offer virtual and in person therapy sessions for adults ages 18+.

I have enjoyed clinical social work with adolescents and adults for about 25 years in a variety of settings. I will support your journey of self discovery and growth with curiosity and humility coupled with training and experience. Attachment theory, science, attention to the intersection of multiple identities with emphasis on the relationship between myself and clients grounds my practice. I believe healing occurs in relationships and requires compassion and curiosity. I create a warm, safe, supportive environment to unpack and explore your feelings, experiences and needs to create the live you want and deserve. LCSW available.

Whether you are coming to therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, a life change, or just a general sense of unease, facing these issues can be scary. Healing isn’t easy because it involves confronting our pain and hurts. Healing can also be full of joy, hope, connection, and freedom as we experience new possibilities of being and relating. My approach is warm, relational, and integrative. I strive to offer a space where you can feel safe enough to look inward – to gently and compassionately welcome all parts of yourself with less judgment and shame.

My ideal client struggles with Anxiety, Depression, Eating Disorders, Trauma, and/or related conditions. They are motivated for change or at least open to the possibility of change. They are open to feedback and willing to lean into the therapeutic process. They do not need to have clear goals for the therapeutic process right away but are willing to work to identify these goals in the treatment process. They would want to improve their life in some way, or even just their relationship with themselves.

Despite your best intentions and efforts, do you feel stuck in your personal life, intimate relationships, family relationships or workplace? You may be faced with challenges that are deeply rooted in your early life experiences, your primary attachments, in how you view the world, or due to misunderstanding between you and significant others. Challenges can arise during stressful life transitions, such as divorce or death of loved ones. But they can also arise from positive life experiences, such as marriage or the birth of a child. Left untreated, these challenges can grow into chronic problems that can corrode your sense of self and your relationships.

We are constantly transitioning and struggling with life experiences and relationships. Whether it is frustrations due to family or work interactions, or the grief and sadness that follows the death of a loved one, day to day life can be difficult to manage. When we learn how to manage our emotions, discuss what is making us uncomfortable, and work through a major life change, we can make the day to day more manageable. You are not alone in your struggles, and I hope to assist in your journey to making your life less stressful and more fulfilling.

My favorite part about being a therapist is working collaboratively with you to build a unique therapeutic relationship that feels comfortable and authentic. My style has been described as warm, nurturing, active, and transparent, and I will always prioritize your autonomy in therapy. I often work with individuals who want to have more fulfilling relationships and feel more connected to themselves and others. I will always celebrate your joy, humor, creativity, and whichever parts of yourself that you want to share. I aim to practice with a non-pathologizing lens that honors your story, experiences, and unique position in the world.

My practice focuses on helping preteens, teens, and young adults and/or their families feel better via individual and group treatment. Seeking help and accepting guidance can be the first steps toward creating the life you want and deserve.

It is my belief that if you are seeking help in any area of your life, you are showing strength and courage. At some point in all of our lives we will need help. It is a part of being human, that we often try to avoid at great cost to our own well-being. My approach to therapy is strengths based. Each of us is unique in our own way, therefore treatment will look a little different for every individual or couple. I am a supportive, honest, and caring therapist who will strive to help you to see your own strengths and work with you to find the best tools to manage the many stressors and challenges you may be experiencing.

At Compassionate Counseling, we believe in you becoming the person you were meant to be.
