Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Philadelphia, PA
Beyond talk therapy, approaches like CBT, DBT, and exposure response prevention provide the next step toward action.
As someone who has struggled with anxiety and a highly sensitive nervous system, I know how important it is to learn as much about yourself as you can so you can understand what coping mechanisms work for you. I want to help you explore new ways to see your life and help you alleviate and heal your emotional suffering. In a safe space to share your true self, you can begin your journey toward optimal living. There is so much healing that comes from simply being able to speak your truth. Words have power, especially when said out loud.

Therapy with me is an active, engaging process. My practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches and tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. In therapy, I create a space characterized by authenticity, humor, and acceptance. I believe that being direct and genuine helps in building a therapeutic relationship where real change can occur. My approach integrates strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindful Self-Compassion, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT). I also often incorporate hypnosis in my sessions, which has proven effective in both acute symptom management and deeper therapeutic processes.

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 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.

You will learn to manage uncomfortable feelings using strategies from CBT, DBT, and ACT.
Life is never the same after the loss of a loved one; it rattles you to your core. You struggle to regain your balance and grapple with the incomparable pain you feel. You don’t know how to carry on now that your beloved family member, spouse, friend, or pet is gone. They were such a meaningful part of your life and made you so happy. Now, their absence feels like a piece of you has been ripped away. You’re so disoriented from the loss that you keep thinking to yourself, “This isn’t real. They can’t be gone.”

Using my training in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we will work together to silence that negative inner voice that has been directing your life.
If the voice in your head was a person, would you like them very much? It is my strong belief, and confirmed by research, that many people who struggle with feeling of anxiety and depression also struggle with a negative inner voice that keeps you from reaching your potential.

I will validate your feelings, challenge cognitive distortions, encourage and explore physical wellness, and set SMART goals for each troubled area identified.
Are you struggling with depression and/or substance use? Do you feel hopelessness and helplessness, have poor sleep, poor appetite, and increased alcohol intake?

You may be seeking psychoeducation surrounding the effects of alcohol, including it being a depressant, identifying 2-3 techniques used to promote physical wellness, and using 4-6 days per week (cardio, yoga, stretching, etc.).

My approach to therapy is integrative, including techniques of cognitive-behavioral therapy, cultural-relational, solution-focused therapy, and positive psychology.
As a person-centered therapist, I strive to ensure my clients feel seen, heard, and supported on their mental health journey. With focus areas of anxiety, depression, and trauma I feel that understanding is the basis of healing. Many barriers exist in accessing mental health care and finding the right therapist shouldn’t be one of them. I am a licensed professional counselor and received my Master’s degree from Temple University in Philadelphia. I've worked in university and group practice settings providing therapy to teens, college students, and clients in their 20s and 30s. I also provide Christian counseling upon request.

I enjoy working with both couples and individuals and utilize multiple modalities from EMDR and CBT to psychodynamic and Reality Therapy.
I approach patient care with the belief that we all have the inner resources needed for healing. Being in therapy does not need to be a life-long process yet one can gain invaluable insight as well as emotional and mental support from working with a seasoned clinician. The therapeutic process should help one to become increasingly more honest with self and ultimately more capable of enjoying life's precious moments.
