Female Therapists in Wayne, PA

When our children hurt, we hurt. Teaching young children, adolescents and young adults coping skills that they will use for a lifetime is a wonderful gift for the entire family. Adult women experience a tremendous amount of stress. Habitual behaviors or ways of thinking that served us as children are often of no use and even harmful during adulthood. Feeling better requires challenging these old habits and creating new pathways to suit our current goals.

I am a licensed psychologist in greater Valley Forge with over 20 years psycho-therapeutic experience. I have a warm, gentle manner and I love partnering with young adults, women and children. I use a relational approach and tailored strategies for stress management, depression, learning and parenting challenges, and difficult life transitions. Life's transitions can bring excitement, as well as stress and worries. In our partnership, you can gain new perspectives and move beyond set-backs, challenges and loss, learning strategies to feel well prepared for your future. My experience provides perspective to help towards a more satisfying journey.

It is not uncommon during times that are personally challenging in one's life to question beliefs, doubt abilities and experience a decrease in self-esteem. As a licensed psychologist in private practice, I am dedicated to assisting clients in the creation of loving, healing relationships in every aspect of life. I provide a safe and welcoming environment in which clients focus on developing greater levels of self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-esteem. I offer supportive, caring therapy to women and men experiencing a variety of life issues and transitions.

Are you ready to reconnect with yourself and live vibrantly? Are you looking to find greater meaning and purpose in life? I am a Jungian inspired therapist who specializes in working with women and men in transition-be it divorce, new parenthood, or midlife changes or loss. The symptoms of anxiety, depression, loss of vitality, disordered eating, and addictions are signs of a deeper issue whose root cause must be treated in order to fully heal. Together, we will work to understand and heal the issues that are impeding your well-being to create lasting transformation and change.

Our passion is supporting women and couples to feel secure and happy both with themselves and in their relationships. We support couples to resolve reoccurring conflicts and deepen their connection using an attachment and strength-based model. Additionally, we work with women who are considering leaving a toxic or narcissistic relationship. We have a profound understanding of the lifelong pain narcissism causes to loved ones. We help you to recover clarity, rebuild self-esteem, and support you to reconnect with your innate wisdom and intuition so that you can learn to trust yourself and be safe in relationships.

Life can be challenging. Many times we need someone to vent to, to get advice from, to cry to. We need someone who is not going to judge us, criticize us, or tell use to “get together” when we are not ready for it. We need someone that we are going to trust and feel free to express ourselves the way we are and the way we feel. As your therapist, I will provide you with the opportunity to be truly yourself. Together we will explore your feelings, thoughts, emotions, challenges. I will support your journey into a self – discovery and self – growth so you will feel like yourself again and become calmer, more balanced, and empowered.

Life can be very challenging, and I am optimistic that each client is capable of meeting that challenge. I am compassionate and an attentive listener. My style is interactive in helping each client or couple create a vision of the life they want to live. We work as a team to achieve your goals for a happier more fulfilled life.

You or your child are dealing with a loss, transition, or life challenge that feels like more than you can handle. It may be grieving a loved one who died, dealing with identity issues, or struggling with a significant relationship. You’re questioning if your behavior is "normal." You may worry that things will never get better, and you often wonder if you’re the only one going through this. You find yourself expressing sentiments like, "I should be grateful for what I have, but all I feel is unable to cope.”

Throughout our life each of us will be faced with a variety of challenges the outcome of which may profoundly affect us and those we love. As a licensed psychologist it is my privilege to give clients hope that as they resolve their personal and relationship issues they will begin to truly live the life they were meant to live - one filled with joy, confidence, enthusiasm and purpose.

What are you looking for in therapy? I aim to assist you answering this question in a calm and encouraging environment where your concerns and hopes are heard and valued and where we can work together for you to achieve this purpose.

I work with individuals, couples or families facing emotional pain, anxiety, depression, anger, couples issues, addiction, etc. and I assist their making discoveries that can help them create change.

I specialize in the treatment of weight and eating disorders, depression and anxiety. I provide cognitive-behavioral therapy, which focuses on helping the client to identify thoughts and emotions associated with certain behaviors, and I infuse mindfulness techniques. Through this journey, I help clients understand how and why they are responding to situations in the way that they do, enabling them to find inner peace and lead fuller, more enriched lives. I typically meet with clients on a one-on-one basis, but I am happy to schedule sessions with concerned partners, parents or other family members together with the client.

Clients come to me after experiencing a loss whether it be from the death of a loved one, the end of a marriage/significant relationship or a major life transition. These changes in one's life can bring on feelings of sadness, isolation and fear. As a therapist I believe in the power of telling one's story in a safe and supportive space. My goal is to help clients expand the possibilities when feeling stuck, access their strengths, accept their limitations and practice being present in their daily lives.

If it feels like something needs to change soon and you are looking for relief, I can help you. Life doesn't have to be this hard, and you don't have to do it all alone. I'm here to listen to what you need and be a part of your experience. In sessions, we may use music, art, or EMDR to take simple steps towards lasting improvements. Personal growth is important, and so are family relationships, so I may ask you to bring family members to repair these relationships, even if it feels hopeless.

"How did I get here? I have everything I want, but I can't seem to feel the joy. To even say this makes me feel guilty, embarrassed and ashamed." We all start out driven to create our best life. We set goals, timelines, but somehow it never seems to be enough. We get glimpses of happiness, but joy and contentment - that seems to be the mystery. Do you feel like you have fallen out of love? Do you wonder if it is possible to find your way back? Do you worry about your family and what you are modeling as a loving relationship?

For 30 years, I have worked with adolescents and adults to improve the quality of their lives and to enhance their relationships. Depression, anxiety, work-related stress, and family/relationship issues can be resolved by working together. Couples may start treatment to improve communication and problem-solving skills as well as to explore sexual and emotional intimacy issues. My experience as a therapist has provided me with various approaches to help people better understand and accept themselves, and to develop more satisfying relationships.

There is nothing more important than the relationships we have with both ourselves and others! Without a healthy feeling of belonging and connection to others, problems will exist. Be it parent/child conflicts, problems at school, adolescent issues, marital/premarital, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, and/or issues with life transitions, I can help you! .

Tired of hurting? Frustrated with others giving well-meaning but unhelpful advice? Do you long to be heard? You're certainly not alone. We all ache for different reasons including deep sadness, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, job challenges and addiction. Often, what we need is for someone to truly listen and help us sort through our thoughts and feelings to gain understanding about the situation and ourselves. I believe in the therapeutic process because I know that it's effective. It involves no longer avoiding what is painful, confusing or scary and, with help, walking through it to find both insight and relief.
