Domestic Abuse Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

My ideal client is someone who is entering therapy with the realization that they desire to be seen and heard; a person who sees therapy as a relationship to be built with a person they can be open with. I find an interest and willingness to identify and work through trauma is a common thread among those I work well with, particularly when it manifests as addiction or BPD. Beyond trauma associated with combat, violence , or sexual abuse , I feel trauma among members of LGBT and other marginalized communities, as well as people who have struggled with the surviving pandemic, is important to see and address.

I believe that we all possess an internal wisdom about what we need to overcome challenges. Difficult life experiences and learned behaviors sometimes cloud our ability to access this wisdom. Therapy with me begins with establishing a safe and trusting relationship which becomes the context in which we can explore and modify those parts of your experience that interfere with optimal functioning and which block your ability to feel deeply satisfied with your life.

A great deal of my professional practice has been working with individuals, groups, couples and families, substance abuse , and LGBTQIA+ populations. I understand that no single approach is the right one for everyone & it is important to meet each person where they are. I believe it is important to tailor the therapy approach to each individual. As such, I use various approaches, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Humanistic Therapy, EMDR, Person-Centered, & Gottman Method for couples therapy. Let me help you get unstuck & develop skills to improve in the ways you would like.

Through compassion, sensitivity, and empowerment, we will work together respectfully to acknowledge vulnerability, unearth patterns, attend complexity, and gain ownership change to achieve the most authentic and expansive self.

To those that do not feel their life is a true reflection of who they are: you are my people. This is due to my personal belief that we are born as our true selves, but life does not usually roll out any red carpets for that version of us. It takes some serious work to learn how to undo all those patterns we learned to survive, but I lighten the mood with my fabulous wit so you can visit the darkness without feeling enveloped in it. I find that most can process their lives themselves, but what they need is the space to do it and the insight (aka psychoeducation) to see why their survival patterns are no longer serving them.

I work comfortably with people from a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and people within the LGBTQ community. In my practice I see adults, adolescents, and couples. I have a direct, interpersonal style in which I support and assist individuals in meeting their personal goals while helping them to process past and present issues related to trauma, child abuse /neglect, addiction(s), grief and loss, depression, or anxiety that may be interfering with their progress. I approach my clinical practice from a socially conscious perspective, working always to view personal difficulties within the sociocultural context in which we live.
