Family Therapy in Philadelphia, PA

Are you tired of repeating old patterns that are holding you back in your life? Have you been feeling angry, empty, lonely stressed out and unhappy? Are you struggling through a transition or a loss or with the legacy of emotional, physical or sexual abuse? There are times in everyone's life when reaching out for and receiving help can make a real difference in resolving problems, easing pain and living a more satisfying life. In psychotherapy a safe place will be created in which to deal with and resolve the unhappiness you are experiencing.

Life can be really hard. Sometimes you need help to move through the tougher times. You are the expert on your life and with my experience and expertise we form a strong, workng relationship. I work and teach from an integrative perspective incorporating mindfulness with the traditional therapeutic approaches Cognitive Behavioral and Humanistic. I believe that healing, growth and change are best supported by raising our awareness around our thoughts, actions, feelings and our physical selves. I advocate movement, internal work and meditative practice when appropriate.

I enjoy the diversity of my clients, walking with adults of all ages and backgrounds. Since 2011 I have turned into the joys of psychotherapy after being primarily a pastor for many years. I wait for my clients to introduce faith into our process together and do not have preconceived notions about how therapy should work or where you should end up. I see my main job as listening carefully, mirroring your process with empathy and helping you move toward the goals you set, whether they are about reaching deeper inside or moving into the practical steps you need to take next week.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or relationship problems? Do you worry that you may never achieve the satisfying life that you envision? Do you struggle to find a work/life balance and feel exhausted from trying to prove yourself? Do you have trouble feeling deeply or staying present in your daily life? Are racial or cultural dynamics impacting your personal or professional relationships?

I collaborate with complex people who are deeply yearning to be met within their complexities. Those who find me are looking for a greater sense of direction and relief from their lived experiences with different kinds of trauma, anxiety, depression, mood instability, panic, relational injury/stress, challenging life transitions, addiction, identity confusion, and existential angst. What they want more than anything is a kind of support that will be restorative, reparative, and memorable; a space they can be unequivocally themselves without backlash.

I view therapy like a road trip: some parts are fun, some are not, but in the end you get to where you need to go. You are the driver and have the control but we are on the journey together. I will be there, in the passenger seat, to help reroute if we get detoured... and try to help us avoid the potholes! It’s your hard work, though, that gets us to the destination. I have found that creating a genuine connection makes all the difference in where we can go together in treatment, so let’s get this trip started!

You are pregnant again, but the excitement isn’t there. You feel anxiety before your OB appointments and try to make sure you are prepped enough to ask all the questions you need to. More stress keeps coming up. The thought of announcing your pregnancy and each new pregnancy symptom brings anxiety. You can’t help but wonder what will happen if you lose this baby too. No one seems to understand. It hurts to hear your family and friends encouraging you to forget about your loss and move on. You are wondering if you will ever get to experience the joy of pregnancy and bringing home your baby.

People enter therapy because they want to improve something in their lives.
