Couples Counseling Therapists in Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia, PA

I am a licensed psychotherapist, with training in psychoanalysis, psychodynamic, and relational theory. As we uncover early-life experiences, traumatic events, stuck points, relationship turmoil, and/or complex family dynamics that have plagued your life journey. We will speak of them intellectually with the intention of unraveling them emotionally, in efforts to gain insight into your perspective of the world and present-day challenges.

It can be very difficult to admit that you need help, especially when you're not sure what is wrong or why. That is why I seek to foster a safe environment where you can start to come to understand what brought you to me in the first place. You get to be you, and you get to be honest. I will not treat your politics, your relationship style, your gender, or your outlook on the world as a symptom of your mental health. I strive allow all of my patients to come as they are.

I view the psychotherapy process as a collaboration, where the two of us are working together to make sense of the obstacles interfering with your emotional well-being. My treatment approach is psychodynamic and relational. I find that closely attending to shifts in the therapeutic relationship - in a safe and empathic manner - can be powerful in unlocking painful patterns and enhancing personal strengths. My aim is to help you gain a fuller understanding of yourself and, in turn, more freedom of choice so you can live a more meaningful life, with greater comfort.

A patient presents with concerns regarding impulsive decision-making and wanting to change relationship patterns. She was recently diagnosed with postpartum after giving birth 30 days prior. She is currently in a relationship with the child's father and reports being unhappy with his parenting skills. She wants to go out on her own but is afraid he will separate her from the child. In therapy, she has clarified that she does not want to share with him at the child's young age.

Do you have trouble knowing what you want or struggle to ask for it? Do you experience overwhelming emotions? Do you find yourself giving in to avoid arguing or cutting people out?Are you considering a life change- moving, breaking up, moving in together, or a job transition? Are you frustrated and disappointed by the lack of physical and emotional connection with the people closest to you? Are you and your partner concerned by your differing levels of sexual desire? Do you want to liberate a part of yourself? These are some of the many questions that my clients have answered with an emphatic "Yes!"

I work with individuals and couples struggling with life transitions, depression, anxiety, emotion regulation, trauma, relationship difficulties, and addiction.

I have worked in both individual and group settings, serving women with eating disorders and other co-morbid mental illnesses, such as anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It was important for me to continue to serve the needs of individuals struggling with Eating Disorders, disordered eating and body image issues. In addition, I wanted to expand my range of therapy to include therapies for couples and families as well as for individuals. I value supporting clients in developing a greater understanding of themselves to improve their view of self, how they interact with others and the world around them.

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons: they feel "stuck," want to create greater meaning in their lives, improve relationships, achieve specific goals or work through various stressors. Whatever your reason, I will work to create a safe therapeutic experience specific to your personal concerns. This includes strengthening problem solving abilities, challenging maladaptive thinking patterns, creating behavioral change and increasing confidence and comfort.

People contact me when they want to feel less anxious, down, or "stuck" in their lives. Some are paralized by panic and worry; others feel deeply discouraged and doubtful about their futures, and some are facing relationship problems, loss, or are at a crossroads in life. My clients range in age from 22 to 95, so I am familiar with the ways these struggles show themselves througout the lifespan. My approach is warm, collaborative, and shaped to each client's needs. The focus is on what we think, and how we treat our thinking.

Life is constantly presenting us with obstacles to overcome, and my goal as a clinician is to provide a safe space for you to grow and feel supported as you navigate those challenges. My work with patients is characterized by mutual decision making, trust, respect, and humor. When working with me, you can expect that I will take your feelings and concerns seriously, that I will listen attentively, but also challenge you to see things from a new perspective. I am drawn to working with people who are curious, self-reflective, and seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.
