Therapists in Queen Village, Philadelphia, PA

I am a psychotherapist and Jungian psychoanalyst in private practice for over 40 years. I work with adults who are struggling with any of the following issues; difficult life transitions, depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma and or losses. As a Jungian psychoanalyst, my orientation is to view psychological problems as an opportunity to further one's self knowledge, to master obstacles, to grow and to heal wounds. My approach includes dream work as connection to unconscious material is central to Jung’s concept of “individuation”, becoming more authentically yourself. I value deeply the therapeutic relationship.

I view therapy as a collaborative process with the goal of identifying effective tools for personal growth and change. My goal is to provide support in your healing process and provide a safe space for you to navigate life’s inevitable challenges. My style is direct and empathic to create a therapeutic space for people to feel confident, empowered, and safe to explore vulnerability. I am passionate about assisting my clients in self-exploration and personal growth, and recognize this varies based on the individual.

It can be hard to face our feelings, and sometimes challenging to put them into words. Our deepest, most painful experiences can be overwhelming and scary. I’m here to hold a safe space to help you work through whatever issue that is troubling you. My aim as a therapist is to help you find ways to heal and access a more authentic self. I will help you find your strengths, and guide you through areas in your life that need change. If you are struggling with an eating disorder, disordered eating, body image concerns or chronic dieting, I would love to help.

I work to make you more aware, empowered & capable. I bring ideas, experiments, and insights, with a spirit of open and nonjudgmental kindness, to understand why you're experiencing the issue and seek to heal, not just cope. I believe that the most effective therapeutic relationship is built on two-way trust and honesty. Our exploration will be conscious of our social locations and how environment and structural forces influence and shape you, as well as how we relate to one another.

Have you ever felt as though it was hard to ask for help, whether it was with something small that happens in life, or perhaps when more complicated situations arise? What about when those distressing thoughts just “pop” into your mind, and the uncomfortable feelings occur? It can be very uncomfortable, and even exhausting, to try to cope with those thoughts and feelings. Maybe you’ve fallen into some habits that you would like to talk about and understand better, or even change but are unsure about how to start. Or maybe you’re going through a significant loss or a change. Do you feel like you just aren’t yourself these days?

People decide to start therapy for a variety of reasons - depression and anxiety, ending of a relationship, a major life transition or self discovery, just to name a few.

Connection is key. To be understood and feel connected are integral parts of relationships. Clients come to me when they feel lost, overwhelmed, lonely, frustrated, angry, sad, and confused. Some may want something but don't know how to get it, how to ask for it, or worthy enough to receive it. Others aren't sure what they want, and need help gaining clarity. My role is to walk with my clients as they learn about themselves, and how their families, relationships, and experiences have impacted their understanding of who they are. I hope to empower clients to value themselves, and help them form the relationships they desire.
