Couples Counseling Therapists in City Center West, Philadelphia, PA

Often people find themselves to be stuck or unhappy and they don't know how they got there. Or maybe there is a specific problem you're dealing with and you need an outside perspective and unbiased help working through it and getting back to a more comfortable and productive place. I consider therapy a natural and helpful extension of your regular daily life.

Some people move through life feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or “out of body.” In my role, I hold space for them to process personal and/or intergenerational trauma so they can heal, connect with others, and live more freely. The people who resonate with my approach the most are soul searchers, creatives, and anyone looking to buck societal expectations. They might be exploring their sexuality, relationship with substances, or pieces of their identity they’ve been repressing. I also work with clients integrating experiences from meditation, breath work, psychedelic journeys, and other non-ordinary states of consciousness.

Life can be difficult. Why go through it all alone? Are you struggling to find love and connection? Perhaps you are looking improve the relationship (s) you already have in your life - be it with with family, friends, significant others, and/or at work? Or, looking to let go of relationship (s) or patterns of relating to others that may be ineffective? Are you facing struggles related to intersections of your identity? Trying to find, or land that job that you are looking for? Feeling lost about how to hone in your personal strengths in order to live your best life? Let's talk about ways I could help.

My speciality is working with individuals experiencing issues with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, over-eating, grief and trauma. My approach is to first identify existing coping strategies to deal with the current stressors. Together, we sort out the underlying problems and identify and develop a tool kit with more effective coping strategies for the many challenges that the world throws at you. We examine and re-frame your emotional reactions to current and past trauma. The relationship between therapist and client is really important for change; and I do my best to provide a warm, natural, humorous and relaxed atmosphere.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist located near Rittenhouse Square. While I have experience with a wide range of issues, I am especially skilled in working with depression, anxiety, loneliness, loss, shame, and sexual and gender identity concerns. My approach to treatment is relational and psychodynamic. This means that I strive to maintain a strong focus on the relationship ⁠—both the therapeutic and real, human relationship ⁠—between the client and me. To this end, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is itself a powerful agent for change and can serve as a foundation for addressing numerous real-world problems.

I believe that everyone deserves a time and a place to work on their mental health, heal from painful experiences, and move towards finding more meaning in their lives and relationships. I also know that given the current pandemic, we're all struggling more than usual! I offer a warm and judgment-free zone to work on a range of issues. I believe psychotherapy works best when it is tailored to each person as a unique individual. I utilize an integrative model, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), relational, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and humanistic approaches.

The desire to know and to be known is a normal human experience. I value the trauma-informed safety and client-centered connection we collaboratively create through a systematic lens. I am particularly sensitive to diversity in culture and self-identity, including with respect to race, gender and sexuality. I believe the importance of affirming the unique individual experience with cultural humility. Through compassion, sensitivity, and empowerment, we will work together respectfully to acknowledge vulnerability, unearth patterns, attend complexity, and gain ownership change to achieve the most authentic and expansive self.

Anxiety and trauma can be overwhelming and keep people from enjoying their lives. The therapeutic relationship is a unique partnership and is the most important place to start this journey. We are two individuals with the common goal of improving how you feel and live. I use an individualized approach, drawing from varied therapeutic practices to meet your specific needs. I specialize in treating anxiety, trauma, and addictive behaviors. Other areas of focus include depression, PNES, grief and loss, communication, and self-esteem.

Each person is made up of countless stories, some we remember and some we try to forget. I want to hear your story and be present with you as you learn more about who you are. Therapy can be daunting, especially if this is a new experience for you. But it is important to me to help create a relationship that is grounded in trust, respect, and embracing imperfection. There is no “right” way to ask for help or to go through life. We will talk through emotions, experiences, and anything that seems to be causing that “I just don’t feel right” feeling. Whatever it may be that brought you here, I am glad that I can be here with you.

I treat women struggling with infertility, anxiety and/or depression during pregnancy and postpartum as well as perinatal loss and stillbirth. All of these issues can leave one feeling depressed, anxious, stressed, lonely and isolated, sometimes even if you already have a great support system in place. I also work with adult men and women experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, eating and body shape related concerns as well as individuals coping with medical diagnoses.

I work comfortably with people from a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and people within the LGBTQ community. In my practice I see adults, adolescents, and couples . I have a direct, interpersonal style in which I support and assist individuals in meeting their personal goals while helping them to process past and present issues related to trauma, child abuse/neglect, addiction(s), grief and loss, depression, or anxiety that may be interfering with their progress. I approach my clinical practice from a socially conscious perspective, working always to view personal difficulties within the sociocultural context in which we live.
