Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

Maybe you’ve been depressed, anxious, or feeling bad about yourself. Maybe you’re tired of this, and want to get to the roots of these feelings, so you can heal. Often present symptoms are built on traumatic past experiences, the feelings associated, and the narratives and strategies that you created to make sense of it all. I believe healing comes when you examine these experiences, feel the feelings in a safe, caring environment, and view these experiences in a fresh, more accurate, more compassionate light. You can then rewrite the narratives that have held you back, and try out all kinds of new things in your life.

Deciding to begin psychotherapy is one of the kindest and most important choices you can make for yourself. It can be a turning point in your life, but it can also feel scary to talk to someone you don't know well. I work with individuals and couples, providing a warm, safe, confidential environment where I will listen carefully and where we will work together to understand and resolve the issues you are struggling with--both in terms of how they affect your current life and in terms of how they became issues in the first place.

I will work with you to capitalize on your strengths and help you identify and move beyond unhelpful mental and behavioral patterns lurking in your blind spots. Rather than talk endlessly about your problems, we will instead use various empirically supported techniques to step back from your problems and explore new behavioral and belief options that better correspond to your key goals and values. Then you'll practice these new perspectives and strategies at home in your real life until they feel more natural. **Please phone me first as I do not always have daily email access.

Personal growth is a process of empowerment--an awakening to our capacity for welcoming change into our lives. My role as therapist is to meet you where you are. Through our supportive alliance, you'll gain an advocate committed to helping you connect with new possibilities and inner resources to achieve your goals. I provide a comfortable space for safe exploration. I value attentive listening and curiosity about how a compassionate understanding of your past can often inform the resolution of distressing circumstances in your present.

If you are someone who is seeking healing and growth in a safe therapeutic space, then I believe you've come to the right place. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, grief, and difficult life transitions, in addition to working with a number of different other psychological issues, such as substance use, trauma, self-esteem, men’s issues, anger, relationships problems, and ADHD. I integrate various therapeutic models in my work, including CBT, Existential Psychotherapy, ACT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.

I view the mental health recovery process as similar to climbing a mountain: the first steps may feel overwhelming at times, however, therapy is a partnership where I can provide tools that help my clients get where they would like to go, while also building resiliency and strength for the future. Throughout the process, I will provide encouragement and at times, remind you to look back at how far you have come. Furthermore, I provide a non-judgmental and empathic space for this journey to occur.

I work with individuals and couples to create positive changes in their lives. This includes those struggling in areas such as self-esteem, intimacy, addressing emotional needs, healing from past hurts/trauma, a history of neglect or abuse, or challenges regarding gender and sexuality. I work with couples, straight/lesbian/gay, who are working on their relationship, whether as a result of an affair, or realizing differences that keep them from being close. My research focuses on men and the effects of expectations on men’s lives. Pursuing therapy represents a longing to heal. My work is about supporting that process.

Are you having difficulty making decisions, expressing your emotions, or struggling to improve your personal relationship(s)? Working toward change can be challenging.
