Therapists in Lower Gwynedd, PA

Life can be overwhelming at times. There are many things pulling at us from all directions - family, children, work, other people - that we lose ourselves in the process. Are you trying to find out who you are and what your purpose is? Have you been trying to please others and neglecting yourself? These can contribute to a suffering that comes out as anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, low self-esteem, or just a general dissatisfaction with life. I believe we are meant to find meaning for our lives, fulfillment in what we do and happiness in our relationships. I can help you discover this person that you are meant to be.

You’re feeling stuck and hiding your feelings from those around you. You’re feeling sick and tired of being sick and tired. Most days feel like you’re walking in a fog. You’re feeling sad and hopeless. Depression or your drinking has increased, leaving you feeling empty or out of control. The one thing getting you through the day is something you’re ashamed of (drinking, pornography, gambling etc.). Maybe you don’t have a label for what you’re feeling but you’re thinking about asking for help, wanting to talk it through with someone (but not the people around you).

I am interested in working with individuals that are experiencing difficulty in any aspect of their life and want to address it. Are you feeling anxious? Depressed? Experiencing grief or loneliness? Conflict with others? Having trauma responses? Let's talk. Let's figure out together what is causing you distress and let's address it. My goal is not only to help you process your own needs presently, but to equip you with the tools you need in the future to function healthily in the midst of challenging circumstances.

Are you finding it difficult to cope with certain relationships in your life? Are you struggling with uncomfortable feelings like unnecessary worry, overthinking or sadness?

Sustaining happy and fulfilling relationships with others/and or yourself can be difficult to master, but you can begin to improve your life right away. The people I work with are ready and motivated to learn new and better ways of coping and to begin working on new solutions to old issues.

Life can be overwhelming at times. Both our own choices and the choices of others can have long-lasting consequences on our emotional and mental health. I have experience working with survivors of emotional, verbal, physical, and sexual abuse; those struggling with anxiety and depression; and clients in life-stage transition (i.e. young adults transitioning from college to career, postpartum women, or empty nesters).

Everyday all of us struggle with multiple demands and expectations placed upon us, both externally and from within. Sometimes the demands become overwhelming, and we find ourselves experiencing a sense of sadness we cannot name, questioning our needs and wants, or wondering what our role is. Complexities in relationships create many challenges. Couples can find themselves struggling with a multitude of emotions that vacillate from love, joy and pleasure to disappointment, fear, anger and resentment. Learning how to develop and sustain a connected, fulfilling, intimate relationship can be difficult but well worth the investment.

The psychotherapy I do is depth-oriented, offered in a safe and peaceful setting, where we can build your sense of inner peace. We will uncover your family legacy, as well as the maladaptive patterns you are living that underlie your suffering. Within that context, we will practice awareness of the present moment and unhook you from the influences of the past. We can work to improve your relationships, clarify your life goals and help you find a sense of ease and confidence in yourself. If you are depressed and/or anxious, we will find the ways to release you from emotional pain and move toward personal fulfillment.

Depression, lack of motivation, and hopelessness can feel overwhelming, so I feel committed to helping people develop and foster feelings of empowerment and fulfillment.

Perhaps you've wondered, "Why do I keep making the same mistakes over and over again, or why do find myself picking the wrong partners, or people to surround myself with?"
