Attachment-based Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

Congratulations on taking the first step on the path towards your healing. Perhaps you are an adoptee who wants to explore racial/trans-racial identity issues, are considering searching for your "first family", or need to grieve the losses from being relinquished early on in life. Maybe your romantic relationship is at an impasse. I can help you get "unstuck", teach you couple's communications skills, and support you on this journey. Perhaps you need extra support in working through family issues. I am currently offering teletherapy sessions. All you need is a computer and good wifi.

Many find themselves at a point in their lives where external support is necessary to navigate life's challenges. My clients seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some may come to therapy to deal with a specific struggle, such as anxiety or depression, while others initiate therapy during a difficult life transition. Even positive transitions, such as getting a new job or starting a new relationship can be stressful. Together, we will merge our resources to address these challenges in a safe environment by exploring patterns, processing events from the past, and creating plans for change in the future.

Seeking help is a sign of strength and health, not weakness or shame. You have a story and it matters. As an experienced mental health therapist, I feel honored to listen to your story and work together toward change and healing. My style is very warm, supportive, emotions-focused and collaborative. I place the utmost importance on developing a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. Most often I work with individuals affected by issues of depression, anxiety, trauma, identity/self-esteem, attachment and relationship issues. I also help clients with other challenges including grief, self-harm, and chronic health issues.

I earned a Master of Arts in Art Therapy and Counseling from Drexel University. As both a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified Art Therapist, I will focus on helping you find emotional outlets, create support systems, and gain insight into what has been weighing you down. I have experience treating children, adults, and families struggling with a wide range of circumstances including depression/anxiety, substance abuse, mental illness, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, adoption/foster care, attachment disorders, behavioral difficulties, and relationship struggles. I have also worked with LGBT and refugee/immigrant communities.

Finding the right therapist can be intimidating. My goal is to make the therapy process welcoming and transparent. I work particularly well with people who've been told they are "too sensitive" or who identify as Highly Sensitive People. My talent lies in treating anxiety, trauma and attachment/relationship wounds, as well as self-esteem. I support those who care for their communities: healers, caregivers, artists or those with creative practices, and activists. I've worked with ages 3-90 across class, race, gender, sexual orientation, & health status. Together, we can explore hard topics with sensitivity and humor.

It is my belief that as people we strive to live happy, fulfilling lives. However, there are times that barriers get in the way of us actualizing this goal.

I specialize in care for children, teens, young adults, and families: 1) Building cooperation and openness in place of defiance and lying; 2) Cultivating self-control in place of tantrums and aggression; 3) Fostering contentment and self-confidence in place of sadness and worry; and 4) Developing genuine closeness in place of clinging and irritability. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience addressing core relational issues of protection, loyalty, authority, trust, fairness, and forgiveness. I help families heal from generational wounds and allow children develop appropriate individuation, using the secure base of a trusting parent-child relationship.

I am committed to supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate their unique life circumstances. I specialize in working with people with anxiety, depression, complex trauma and attachment wounds, parent-child relationships, and prenatal/postpartum struggles. I am also interested in supporting those who want to interrogate their familial systems and dynamics, unlearn harmful patterns of relating to yourself and others, and explore trans-generational patterns of trauma and recovery. Most importantly, I am invested in centering your lived experience and how it impacts the way you move through the world.

At any stage of development, we are bound to encounter obstacles to our ability to thrive. I help clients to become proactive agents in their own process. I have worked extensively with clients across all ages to reduce symptoms, promote growth, and instill lasting change. I support children, teens, adults, and families in healing from anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression. I have a speciality in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, especially GNC and transgender folks. I am licensed to treat people in about 25 states. This means if you relocate for college or other life circumstances, you can maintain continuity of treatment.

Are you struggling in your relationships? Maybe disruptive behavior is making it difficult to connect with your child or teenager.

Finding a therapist can be tough and I empathize with you in this process! I imagine you're dealing with a great deal of stress in this moment - Perhaps you are experiencing a big transition, perfectionism, questions about your identities, your roles, your relationships, or your career. You may also be dealing with grief/loss, depression, anxiety, discrimination, assault, or eating disorders. If this is the case, I am happy to support you as you work towards clarity and peace of mind. In addition to individual counseling, I provide couples and family therapy, as well as supportive coaching for parents with struggling kids/teens.

*Currently accepting new teletherapy clients only* I am a registered, board-certified art psychotherapist and licensed professional counselor. I specialize in working with individuals who suffer from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and eating disorders. While not all of my clients use art making in session, I have found that when it is hard to talk about pain, a picture is worth a thousand words. Art psychotherapy requires no skill or artistic background, and can offer you a chance to express yourself in a new and transformative way.

We are connective, social beings, and we all need a support system to help guide us out of the ruts in which we find ourselves. I want to empower you to harness your own strengths, meet the world on your own terms, and make your needs heard, even if you're having trouble finding your voice.
