Therapists in City Center East, Philadelphia, PA

Are you experiencing a pattern of emotions and behaviors that do not align with the way you want to live your life? Is it causing internal conflicts, unwanted stress and interfering with connecting to others? I provide therapy to adults who experience a wide range of struggles including Addiction, Anxiety, Codependency, Self Esteem, Trauma & PTSD, Attachment and Relationship Conflicts. I help clients to connect and communicate with greater freedom and authenticity. Through the use of guided meditation you'll learn to connect to your mind and body and begin to integrate change.

Most of us at one time or another encounter difficulties with others or ourselves. These difficulties can result in anxiety, depression or other symptoms, the treatment for which often is therapy. Therapy can be challenging in that it requires work to understand our emotions and our inner selves. Therefore I believe therapy is best conducted in an atmosphere of support, compassion, warmth and humor. My goal is to provide such an environment in which we are working together

There are many events that send us looking for answers in therapy. Some need information to address a new situation, some feel blocked from doing what they desire, some feel pushed to do things they don't want to do, some feel prevented from doing something they know would benefit them. We all struggle, no one's life is perfect. It's what we make of our circumstances that make us who we are. We isolate our "Genuine Self" then work towards defining the "Desired Self", that part of self that is capable of maintaining happiness. By increasing our awareness we can reach any goal, embracing change as we evolve.

I believe one of the bravest things we can do is to understand our story. Owning our story can bring us to self-acceptance and healing. I can help get you there. Do you feel like you’re hitting a wall? Feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns? Stuck in your past trauma? Bad relationships? You deserve more than the anger and hurt that you’re carrying with you each day. These walls you’re hitting can be broken down. We just need to take a few steps back, and face these walls together. Come in, and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea (on me) and let’s talk about it.

I am a licensed psychologist with a specialty in forensic psychology. I conduct ethical training for mental health professionals throughout the United States. I have published extensively in the overlap area of psychology and law.

I believe we should all have access to a space where we can be open and honest with who we are and what we need to thrive. It is important to me that I support individuals in cultivating such a space with safety and freedom of feelings, thoughts and emotions. We all deserve a chance to thrive in life and find some sense of peace and understanding of experiences that make us who we are. I am here to challenge any notions that you cannot be your best self and find solace in that.

How you relate to others is an important part of who you are as a person. While some people feel isolated and alone, others feel stifled and challenged from managing too many close relationships. Many often suffer because they are caught in old patterns of behaving and relating to others. I believe that healing comes from feeling acceptance, compassion, and forgiveness toward yourself. Only then will you be able to direct those same feelings toward others.

Give us a call. We at Seed To Tree are here to help. Scheduling an appointment is just a click away. In person sessions are currently available but require preapproval.

True lasting healing requires safety & trust in relationships. I am a collaborative therapist providing warmth, caring & guidance as you work to reach your goals. My clients describe me as an invested therapist who remembers the smallest details & plays an active role in helping facilitate the change you want to make. I specialize in life transitions and the self talk/beliefs & communication skills that affect positive change. I’m most passionate about helping you live as your true self, beginning/ending relationships, regaining connection with & prioritizing oneself, and helping people navigate changes in their health & well-being.

It takes courage to recognize and accept when we might need help. Finding the right therapist to help may be even more challenging. My therapeutic philosophy is based on the idea that each of us has the capacity for healing and growth within ourselves. Therapy should provide you with the space to be your true and authentic self, without judgment, allowing you the freedom to realize your capacity to create meaning in your life. We will work together to develop a relationship rooted in safety and trust so that you can make choices and changes at a pace that feels right for you.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and interactive. Using a holistic style, I work to help you explore the emotional, intellectual, biological, and social characteristics that factor into your concerns.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults, utilizing a psychodynamic and behavioral approach and offering support for a variety of challenges and mental health disorders. I also provide consultation and other supportive services to both small and large businesses interested in staff development and executive coaching. I am an advocate for personal development through improved communication skills, goal planning and physical and emotional health. I believe that an ability to take pride in your personality and appearance improves decision-making, relationships and workplace skills.

**Currently offering telehealth therapy sessions** There are many events that happen in our lives that sometimes become difficult to manage- parenting, work stress, relationships, family struggles, having thoughts or emotions you’d rather not have, medical issues, grief etc. I am an experienced psychologist with close to a decade of experience working with individuals from all walks of life. I have created an environment built on trust, respect, and compassion with the intent to facilitate support and empowerment in my clients which will allow them to take the next step on their journey to living a more balanced and fulfilling life.

*I am away on maternity leave and not accepting new clients. I specialize in treating PTSD, complex trauma, and dissociative disorders. Clients are deeply respected, along with the implications of trauma and the therapeutic process. I understand talking about painful past events is incredibly difficult, and it is always the person's choice to talk about it directly. Throughout the process, I work with the client to co-create and tailor the treatment to each person's unique needs, goals, and personal values.

You’re feeling stuck. You’re unsure where to go next. You’re feeling anxious, depressed, or “lost”. Maybe you’re questioning your path, your relationship, your self. Maybe you know you need to make a change but you’re unsure where to start. Are you doing things to fill a void- drinking too much, trying fad diet after fad diet, or looking for happiness in other people? You’ve noticed that your behaviors don’t match who you are. You’re irritable, frustrated, sad, or unfocused. You’re treating yourself and your loved ones differently and you want to make changes.

If you’re struggling in your marriage, you’re not alone. You might be looking for a therapist because you want to figure out a way to make the pain in your relationship go away. Perhaps, you want to connect more deeply. I’m here to help and I’ve helped many people just like you. Marriage is hard. It’s even harder if you never witnessed a healthy marriage. As humans, we are creatures of habit and we tend to repeat the same patterns and create similar relationships to our parents.

Over time, we develop defenses and boundaries that may have served a purpose and provided us with protection or comfort. However, these same methods of self-preservation can later become constricting and block us from growth as our life, needs, and relationships change. In our therapeutic partnership, rooted in transparency, reciprocity, compassion and non-judgment, you can shift your awareness to shed light on these patterns and learn to release them in a safe, healthy, and positive way. If you are willing and open to explore these patterns in a present and honest way, you have so much to gain from the therapy experience.
