Alzheimer's Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

I specialize in supporting individuals, caregivers, and families affected by illness. I practice with warmth and compassion and utilize a strengths-based approach with my clients. Coping with illness and caregiving can be incredibly difficult. I offer a safe space to emotionally process these issues individually, and also assist with facilitating thoughtful, but challenging conversations between couples and family members. I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in my practice. I also offer grief counseling for those coping with loss and major life change.

Many people ask themselves, "Is it all in my head? Do I need help?" Parents often ask, "Is there something wrong with my child, or am I just worrying too much?" I specialize in the evaluation and treatment, as well as comprehensive psychological testing, of children, adolescents, and adults experiencing behavioral, emotional and developmental challenges. As a psychologist in private practice, I work with my clients, be they adults or children and their parents, to identify areas of concern, develop specific goals and plans to address them, and to enhance the strengths and resources families already possess to improve relationships, reduce stress, and increase success.

In my practice, I see people with a variety of concerns about their relationships, careers, and other aspects of their lives. Whether you are experiencing troubling symptoms like depression or anxiety, feeling dissatisfied or held back, or having difficulty coming to terms with loss or other stressful life events, my goal would be to help you understand yourself better, feel more content, and live your life more fully. My approach is kind, thoughtful, and collaborative. I typically start by listening to your story, to get to know you and what led you to seek treatment.

I strive to provide clinical services that are practical and informed by research. I do not employ a receptionist or any other support professionals. Therefore, when you call, I will always be the one that answers the phone. I am thorough and collaborative. Typically, I obtain information from multiple sources as appropriate including parents, partners, spouses, teachers and other healthcare professionals (e.g. physicians) with your consent. This allows me to develop a more comprehensive understanding of what is causing you or your family member's difficulties and how I can better help you.

I specialize in counseling people who are caring for loved ones (partners, aging relatives, friends/neighbors, children with disabilities) to better cope with the emotional and practical challenges of caregiving.

My patients all want a happier and more fulfilling life. Some know where to start while others do not. In turn, I believe most people are doing their best, with the tools they have, for themselves and those they care about. The will is there - we just have to figure out the way. This may mean adapting old tools, acquiring new ones, or both. We do that with a mixture of Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) and Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) therapy. Along the way, we identify each person's values that give their life meaning and purpose. These inform big decisions but also moment-to-moment actions.

I am a neuropsychologist primarily focused on diagnostic testing across the lifespan (birth to 100+). However, I also provide therapy to individuals and families surrounding a wide range of developmental, cognitive, psychiatric and behavioral challenges. My aim in both assessment and treatment is to offer a welcoming environment within which every patient has a safe space to share the narrative of their journey up to the present. This is done in a manner that honors the lens through which each of us sees the world, while also acknowledging the multiple systems with which we must often interface in order to meet our own needs.
