Therapists in King Of Prussia, PA

Do anxiety, self-doubt, self-criticism, performance pressure, perfectionism, depression, or low self-confidence impact you or your student-athlete? I specialize in working with competitive athletes as well as adults in their 20's & 30's who's thoughts, behaviors, & emotions limit their authentic expression, sense of well-being, performance potential & opportunities to flourish. In a safe, supportive environment I strategically guide my clients past what is troubling them while challenging and supporting them to realize their own self-worth, authenticity, and internal strength. In short, to help them Think, Do, and Feel Better.

I specialize in treating clients with depression, anxiety, autism, stress-induced medical problems, and schizophrenia. I have also worked with people with mood and personality disorders, substance use concerns, and extensive histories of trauma. My work with this wide range of clients has convinced me that all behaviors, symptoms (including many medical symptoms), thoughts, and feelings- no matter how distressing they can be or how puzzling they may appear to others and even oneself- are rich in meanings that can be explored and understood. I believe that therapy is a healing process through which such an exploration takes place.

No matter what background we come from life tends to bring its own suffering and difficulties. I view therapy as a place where challenges and painful emotions can be confronted in a safe and caring environment. My personality is warm and empathetic, and I aim to provide a place where clients feel heard, cared for, and listened to. I view clients as being the author of their own lives. Thus, I aim to be collaborative and to help come up with goals that are important and meaningful to you. My style is action oriented, and I try to push clients out of their comfort zones, through the use of mindfulness and behavioral changes.

I am a passionate, client-centered, and skilled Licensed Professional Counselor. I strive to meet my clients wherever they happen to be in the moment of seeking therapy and help them get to where they want to be through using evidence-based interventions, encouragement, support, and empowerment. It is my privilege to offer help and hope to my clients who are facing challenges in their life’s journey. I strongly believe that clients are the expert on their own lives and they have the answers to their own questions. My role is to work with my clients to find those answers, and help them become the best version of themselves.

An ideal client for me would be someone interested in exploring the past to understand better how it affects them in the current. Someone who wants to gain a better appreciation of themselves and live their life true to themselves. I tend to work best with clients who are motivated to explore themselves. I encourage clients to experience emotions in session and gain an understanding of where those feelings come from.
