Therapists in Southwark, Philadelphia, PA

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.
