Couples Counseling Therapists in Kennett Square, PA

Are you wanting to understand yourself or your partner better? It can be a very lonely and isolating experience to struggle with the conflicts that arise in life. Sometimes these conflicts come from within and other times they result from the relationships that we find ourselves in. Learning to address these issues can not only be satisfying, but enriching as well.

With over 10 years of experience in providing psychotherapy, I am adept at helping people of all ages (4 and up) handle depression, anxiety, stress, loss, relationship problems, and transitions. I am trained to utilize both cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approaches and create an approach that is unique to each individual. When working with children and adolescents, I collaborate with parents and focus on building coping and communication skills that will last a lifetime. In addition to individual and family therapy, I also provide couples counseling .

These are unprecedented times that challenge all of us. As human beings, we perceive uncertainty as a threat, and this often leads to anxiety and depression in otherwise healthy individuals. My practice remains open and willing to help you through these uncertain times.

I understand how hard it is to sort through a list of names to find someone with whom you are comfortable talking. Clients often tell me that they felt at ease in our first phone contact.
