I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and couples who are going through transitions, experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression, and/or who are troubled by substance abuse. I also see many people who have chronic syndromes such as autoimmune disorders. I have a collaborative approach and a conversational style, and provide a safe and confidential place where people can share their story. I see psychotherapy as an opportunity to develop greater self awareness and skills to improve relationships, and to enhance coping and decision making skills so that they are in keeping with the client's values and goals.

(Not accepting new clients.) People come to me because they are struggling and feel stuck. I specialize in working with adults and children/families who are challenged by anxiety, ADHD, or "Asperger's" but have experience with many different issues. My approach involves providing information about how the brain works, how to use it as your ally instead of an enemy, and how to find strength in the very things that challenge you. (ex: There are so many wonderful things about having ADHD!) I do this in the context of interpersonal relationships where we talk about things like identity and communication/conflict resolution skills.

As a licensed psychotherapist and wellness practitioner, I believe in focusing on the mind-body connection for a holistic approach to healing. In my practice I offer in-home or in-office counseling, coaching and consulting services in my work with individuals, families, children, adolescents, couples, and groups. If you are seeking to improve the quality of your relationships, resolve family conflict, feel relief from difficult emotions, or navigate a life transition, I can help facilitate growth and positive change.

You are here because know something has got to change. Is the pandemic making you feel anxious, tense and uncertain? Has all this time at home made you realize that you don't feel well emotionally or physically? Do you have that depleting sense of never feeling good enough? Do you constantly feel overwhelmed? Do you want to feel more confident? Has traditional therapy left you feeling like something was missing? My expertise is in mind-body therapy that will help you to work through your old patterns and give you concrete tools to help you make small, yet profound, changes that support and nourish both the mind and the body.

My therapeutic approach is informed by my background in meditation, Eastern contemplative philosophy, and evolutionary psychology. I work with clients to establish a treatment plan that is uniquely sensitive to their particular clinical needs and concerns. Some of the most common techniques I employ focus on the important relationship between body and mind; these experiential, somatic, and cognitive interventions allow for critical shifts in perspective that promote meaningful and enduring behavioral change.

A graduate of Temple University, I have been a licensed psychologist since 1996. I work with a wide variety of clients and presenting problems including anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss. I have specific expertise in the areas of early trauma, childhood and adolescent issues, parenting and chronic stress. Throughout my experience I have witnessed remarkable healing and a return to a sense of wholeness and aliveness that comes with support through honest and gentle exploration, reflection and self-awareness. The results often manifest in improved relationships, judgment and clarity.

If you have had an experience that seems traumatic to you despite what others may think or say, or any extremely stressful life challenge recently or in the past, I specialize in helping with these issues. If there is something you have never shared with anyone before or are frightened by the prospect of disclosing what you've carried for a long time, I am here to listen. The impact of distressing experiences may result in extreme anxiety or fear, episodes of depression, repeated difficulties in personal or family relationships or even physical health issues.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by difficult challenges and transitions in your life? Are you angry, depressed, stuck in unhealthy relationships or self-defeating behaviors? Do you long to make the changes necessary to feel a sense of purpose and fulfillment? Whether you've been diagnosed with adult ADD/ADHD or PTSD, or you are dealing with other kinds of traumatic experience, you can learn to overcome the negative emotions and thoughts that keep you from a more satisfying, purposeful life. You may be surprised at the progress you make through your own insights and observations!

Are you frustrated with the direction of your life, feeling lonely, anxious or depressed? I'd like to help. We will first bring relief from what is going on now (depression, anxiety, etc.) and then we will move on to deeper issues. We will work together directly, actively, and with care, paying attention to mutually agreed upon goals. Together we work emphasizing strengths as well as taking a look at issues that need to be changed.

Get happier; release stress, ditch some sabotaging habits you might be struggling with, and mend relationships that have all but fizzled out. A magical life is the ability to transform and create pervading the world we live in and it's within reach. I'd like to help you to capture healing and increased happiness.

As a clinician who specializes in men's issues, I am a focused, engaged and passionate helper. I work with my clients to explore self-defeating thoughts that contribute to their life challenges, with the intent of achieving a more balanced (and "fair") interpretation of themselves and their surroundings. As a classically trained cognitive behavioral therapist, I am a firm believer in the notion that our past troubles and traumas play themselves out in our adult lives.

I am a licensed professional counselor in Chester County. My background is mental health and substance abuse with a specialization in forensic counseling. I have a passion for helping my clients make lasting positive changes in their lives. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Art Therapy with my clients. I employ a client centered, experiential, and psychodynamic approach to counseling. I pride myself on being able to meet my clients where they are and working at their pace.

I am available for TeleMedicine appointments immediately. This is an unprecedented and challenging time in our world. During this time, we need to be reaching for support, connecting to each other & deepening our connection to our own wisdom and strength and to the potential to come through this stronger and with more true joy and love. For many, the added stress is in addition to other challenges like anxiety, loss, trauma and relationship issues. With over 25 years helping folks through difficult times, my goal is to help you re-connect to the deepest part of you – to re-connect and remember your truth, joy, peace and wisdom!

I work with adolescent girls (16 plus) and adult females. These women struggle with self worth and self esteem, may have body image issues, and often compare themselves to others. They have a history of negative relationship patterns with partners or friends or both. They turn to binge eating, shopping, using substances or other self harm to self soothe and comfort. My clients struggle to make themselves a priority and experiences symptoms with their mental health as a result of the above and are looking to improve their relationship with themselves which in turn reduce their symptoms and improve positive emotions and patterns.
