Child Therapists in Philadelphia, PA
In addition to individual therapy with adults, I also work with children, adolescents and parents.
Being a human being isn't easy. Unfortunately, it seems we are destined at times in our lives to experience pain, fear, confusion, and difficulty. The good news is that it is often through befriending and understanding that which is most painful, frightening, or challenging that we grow and find more enduring freedom and peace. As a therapist, I see my role as offering the nurturing environment within which individuals can better understand themselves and their lives, overcome their challenges, and discover their true potential.

I am passionate about collaborating with you to provide evidence-based treatment that meets your needs. I use a cognitive behavioral approach (CBT) with a systemic lens to always consider the context in which a person lives. I believe that individuals are shaped by their experiences, as well as their interactions with the significant people and systems in their lives, and we have to take that context into account when addressing your problems to create the change you want to see. I work with my clients to identify what's getting in the way of living the life you want and help you learn strategies to overcome those challenges.

My focus of interest is to become a therapeutic container to support the exploration of the mind-body connection within children and teens.
My person-centered, somatic and humanistic approach to movement therapy encourages you to tap into your sensations, feelings, intuition and interpretation. Some times, we all need support to indulge in the somatic experience and just breathe, listen to what our bodies are communicating and release both verbally or non-verbally.

Every client and therapist pairing is different. Not every pairing will fit as well as others and the goal of every therapeutic relationship is for the therapist to act as a competent and supportive guide in navigating each client's map of unique challenges in life. I believe that the most important aspect of the relationship is the ability to be honest about the process--what works will differ for everyone. I aim to tailor treatment to each client so that he or she leaves the office feeling heard, understood and confident about the therapeutic journey.
