Anxiety Therapists in Midtown Village, Philadelphia, PA

These are uncertain times. Therapy can be an anchor as we all weather the unpredictable circumstances of our lives and the world around us. It can be a place to grow, heal, or make changes in your live that feel difficult. I work with clients who need help managing anxiety , are feeling sad or confused, or are going through a hard time. I see my job as sitting next to you, seeing the world through your eyes, and helping you come up with the plan that's right for you. I come from a relational and social justice perspective and bring tools from narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness based stress reduction.

Some things are difficult to think about and even harder to talk about. Perhaps you are experiencing depression or anxiety , dissatisfaction in a relationship or career, or struggling with substance abuse/misuse or self-sabotaging behaviors. These are just some of the many reasons that one might find themselves seeking help from a therapist. When one makes the decision to seek help it is the courageous first step in the journey to self-awareness and a more fulfilling life. Very simply, my role as a therapist is to help you begin the transformative journey of uncovering limiting beliefs that are obstacles to emotional wellness.

Do you find that transitions trigger big emotions and make you feel scared, overwhelmed, or consumed by self-doubt? Change is hard for most people, but some of us are particularly sensitive and feel more easily unsettled by the shifting winds of life. Even wanted and planned transitions - like getting married, buying a home, getting pregnant, and having children - can trigger anxiety , depression, trauma, and grief. Unwanted and unexpected struggles like infertility, miscarriage, loss, and birth trauma can feel excruciatingly painful and isolating.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others? Do you find it difficult to identify, understand, or manage your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors? In my work, I strive to create an accepting, non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe exploring the difficult, and sometimes painful, parts of yourself. I view therapy as a deeply meaningful and collaborative process that can serve as a catalyst to shifting the way you relate to yourself and others. This allows for more fulfilling and meaningful relationships, and the subsequent easing of psychological symptoms.
