Anxiety Therapists in Plymouth Meeting, PA

My passion is working with clients who desire to recover from substance use disorders. I work with early, middle, and late stage recovery candidates - both individuals and their families. My primary focus is the use of individual & group interventions to assist with the recognition of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral triggers which cause relapse. These paramount issues when resolved can lead to freedom from the bondage of addiction. I also specialize in grief/loss, anxiety & depressive disorders, building healthy relationships, and co-dependency. My mission is simple - to help others with compassion, empathy, & respect.

I specialize in the assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders including social anxiety , panic , OCD, generalized anxiety , specific phobias & separation anxiety . I also see patients who are having difficulties managaing stress in their lives, be it perfectionism at school or in the workplace, difficulties establishing social relationships, or problems balancing work and family. I also enjoy working with women who are experiencing anxiety about pregnancy and new motherhood. I treat children, adolescents and adults. I work to establish a strong rapport with patients such that they feel supported, yet also encouraged to make important changes in their lives.

A thorough assessment of each patient helps me to formulate a plan that is individualized and focused on accomplishing specific goals.
