Therapists Beginning With D in Pennsylvania

I am an adolescent and young adult therapist who is passionate about helping clients overcome obstacles such as mood dysregulation, school challenges, depression, anxiety, lack of motivation, bullying, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm. I take the time to process challenges with clients and provide tools to help improve well-being.

(I am unable to accommodate new clients at this time). My approach to therapy is based on relational and family systems theory as well as yoga and mindfulness based practices. I take a trauma sensitive approach and I am trained in methods which have positive outcomes for the reduction of PTSD, Insomnia, Mood, Anxiety and Depressive symptoms. I am most experienced in working with anxiety and depression, PTSD, chronic anxiety, chronic pain, partner/couples issues, family relationships, and the navigating challenges of adjusting to a new home often experienced by new Americans. ***I am unable to accommodate new clients at this time***

Living is not an easy task. It takes immense courage and strength to walk every day into the unknown. Relationships, life experiences, and beliefs held within our communities can disconnect us, leaving many feeling anxious, stressed, depressed, overwhelmed, or misunderstood. For the last 4 years I have worked with clients of all ages, cultures, and gender identities struggling through life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, identity questions, and traumas of all kinds including sexual assault and domestic violence. You do not need to confront these challenges alone. With patience and awareness you can feel better.

Life is hard, and can seem overwhelming at times. We may often feel lost, afraid, stressed, anxious, overwhelmed and have low energy. Our relationships may be suffering and our family life chaotic; our work may not be fulfilling and our careers may not be what we thought. We may have even wondered is there any chance to make this life better, or are we just stuck where we are. Well, the great news is you are exactly where you should be right now, and tomorrow can be better than today. You are taking the appropriate next step!

Compassion is only complete if it includes yourself, so thank you for taking the time to begin bringing that compassion to yourself. Due to education, career and life experience I have developed an eclectic client-centered approach in guiding others in finding what has been missing within themselves.

Struggling with anxiety? You’re not alone. Anxiety is the most common mental health concern in the United States. It manifests in a variety of ways—chronic worry, social anxiety, panic attacks, obsessions/compulsions, and phobias (e.g., fear of flying)—and has the capacity to significantly disrupt our lives. Whether you can trace your anxiety back to a specific experience or have struggled with it for as long as you can remember, there’s good news: help is possible.

I am a relationally oriented psychotherapist offering treatment to those seeking relief from emotional suffering. I practice from a contemporary psychodynamic orientation, paying careful attention to the ways in which our sociocultural experiences inform our psychological development. I regard symptoms as opportunities for growth when approached with curiosity, compassion, and respect. I am committed to building an energetic and collaborative therapeutic relationship that can help you better understand your motivations and needs, and experience a more authentic connection with yourself and others.

There are many events that send us looking for answers in therapy. Some need information to address a new situation, some feel blocked from doing what they desire, some feel pushed to do things they don't want to do, some feel prevented from doing something they know would benefit them. We all struggle, no one's life is perfect. It's what we make of our circumstances that make us who we are. We isolate our "Genuine Self" then work towards defining the "Desired Self", that part of self that is capable of maintaining happiness. By increasing our awareness we can reach any goal, embracing change as we evolve.
