Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

I have been a therapist for over 8 years but worked in the mental health field for about 15 years. Although I come from a medical background, I believe that a holistic approach to mental health is the most useful. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families to explore their feelings and process external and internal issues to come to a place of acceptance and self-compassion. All of us have things in our lives that didn’t cause the trauma but trigger it, I can help you overcome these triggers.

Everyone can benefit from support at various times throughout their lives. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety and adjustment challenges such as becoming a parent, starting a new career, coping with a health concern, or experiencing relationship stress. I work collaboratively with individuals to gain awareness into their experiences and develop tools to lead a more content, fulfilling life.

Have you tried meditation or yoga, yet feel something is missing? Have you sensed true “flow” and playfulness in your interactions with others or within yourself, but, sadly, it is just not consistent? Educators, do you need to refill your bucket? Have you spent time learning how to develop your parenting and general relationship skills, but you keep reverting to prior patterns of reactivity? If so, try something new with me.

I believe in the Talking Cure. Life can be fraught with disappointments, losses, stressors and challenges that feel overwhelming and discouraging. Finding words to describe thoughts, feelings, past and present experiences, in presence of a compassionate and non-judgmental other, affords profound and lasting relief from the emotional discomfort that interferes with the ability to live the life one desires. Undigested emotional pain from the past can interfere with ones ability to live a full and satisfying life in the present. Identifying those emotions whose roots are in the past, frees us to live more fully in the here and now.
