Codependency Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

You look in the mirror and see the "bad" traits. That you're not thin enough, not smart enough, not "good" enough. You realize that these traits were projected there by someone else--a past partner, or maybe even a parent. You want to recover from perhaps a lifetime of emotional pain and narcissistic abuse but you don't know where to begin...I specialize in treating individuals who are adult children of narcissists, and those who may be struggling with disordered eating and body image issues. I can support you in developing your inner strengths so that when you look in the mirror it will be your true self staring back at you.

I'm a licensed psychotherapist and founder of Be Here Now Psychotherapy. I'm experienced in helping adult children of narcissistic parents, and those struggling to recover from narcissistic relationships. I also specialize in treating Borderline Personality Disorder(BPD), using a psychodynamic, family of origin lens. My overarching area of expertise is trauma, complex trauma and PTSD. I hold a certificate in Integrative Somatic Trauma Recovery. I believe healing is a holistic endeavor, and depth psychology can be integrated with somatic work to unite body and mind, and help us to know and befriend ourselves on a multitude of layers.

I am very passionate about my work and consider it a gift to be able to help people improve their lives and wellbeing. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health care field. I was trained early in in my career as an Addictions Counselor at Drexel University and then moved to San Francisco to complete my Masters in Counseling Psychology with a focus in Marriage and family therapy . I am trained in Cognitive behavioral therapy , Humanistic , and Mindfulness based practices . I have a very dynamic, collaborative, pragmatic approach to counseling that I tailor to the needs and preferences of each individual client.

I believe that when we're honest about the causes of suffering, space opens up to be creative in making our lives closer to something we really want. I see myself as your partner in rigorously confronting what is true in your life, and finding space to make real change. It is very important to me to be affirming of all genders and expressions, and to be an active anti-racist ally.

I recognize the strength and courage it takes to seek support, and I believe this is a sign of your resilience. My aim is to create a collaborative relationship with you that is supportive, compassionate, validating, and connected.

I value a gentle, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive approach, and we will move at your pace. I specialize in working with highly sensitive people, codependency , childhood emotional neglect, trauma, anxiety, depression, shame, and challenging family relationships.

My approach to therapy is both compassionate and empathetic. I believe we all have the ability to grow and change if we have the necessary support, desire and tools. Through the therapeutic relationship and process, clients can improve the quality of their lives by gaining a better understanding of themselves. My goal is to help my clients gain courage and self awareness to live life fully. My approach is collaborative, intuitive and gestalt.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of daily life or held back by painful experiences from the past, you do not have to face life's challenges alone. I view therapy as a collaborative process that is built upon openness, understanding, and hope. I believe the most important relationship you have is with yourself. My work with clients centers around developing a healthy sense of self in order to manage life’s difficulties more easily. Effective communication is at the core of my work with couples and families. I enjoy partnering with clients to foster new dynamics when old ways of relating are no longer working.
