Stress Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Florida with 13 years of professional work experience working with adolescents and adults. I am experienced in helping clients with stress, anxiety, emotional regulation, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and coping with life challenges. I work with clients to support them in determining their individuals goals and desires for their well-being. I take a collaborative approach to help them uncover tools and strategies that will work best for overcoming challenges so they can live a more fulfilling life.

People come to treatment for a variety of reasons.I view each person as unique and strive to assist individuals to overcome challenges and meet the goals that are important in their lives. As we work to let go of behaviors, thoughts and feelings that are not useful in the present, new healthier patterns can emerge and be adopted. Treatment is always focused on achieving a greater sense of comfort and satisfaction, psychologically, emotionally physically and spiritually.

I believe in a strengths-based approach to treatment, which means I start by working to understand who my client is, what their concerns/goals are, and how they can best be approached. This allows me to collaborate with my clients to develop effective coping skills for substance use, anxiety, depression, adjustment to aging, grief, relationship stress and boundary setting, or reactions to trauma. I also have experience with queer populations (LGBTQ+). I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 10 years of professional experience in nonprofit and an additional 4 years in therapy practice.

My clients come from a wide range of backgrounds but all have one thing in common - a need for support and connection. As a therapist I play many roles: the listener, the supportive cheerleader, the teacher, the witness, the container and more. My goal is to provide a safe and validating space for my clients to explore their innermost thoughts, feelings, memories, and desires without judgment. I am not here to "fix" you - rather, I am here to serve as your guide to wellness and life satisfaction. This process can look different for everyone!

Does it negatively affect your work performance or personal relationships?  The pressure of building or maintaining a successful professional career while trying to stay healthy and juggling the demands of a personal life, can leave us feeling stressed, depressed, and even burned out.

Finding a therapist that's a good fit for you is essential. My specific approach to counseling is empowerment-based, process oriented, and solutions-focused. I find that learning about one's own motivations, strengthening the empathy response, facing fears, and dismantling barriers are what lead to healing, fulfillment, personal growth and freedom. My style is to be curious and challenging, is generally discussion-based, and always leaves room for humor and freedom of expression. I have been supervising MSW students for over a decade, and am currently building a supervision practice for PA LSWs seeking mentorship.
