Trauma Focused Therapists in Southwark, Philadelphia, PA

I believe one of the bravest things we can do is to understand our story. Owning our story can bring us to self-acceptance and healing. I can help get you there. Do you feel like you’re hitting a wall? Feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns? Stuck in your past trauma? Bad relationships? You deserve more than the anger and hurt that you’re carrying with you each day. These walls you’re hitting can be broken down. We just need to take a few steps back, and face these walls together. Come in, and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea (on me) and let’s talk about it.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of daily life, or held back by painful experiences from the past, you do not have to face life's challenges alone.

Feeling connected is an integral part of relationships. Clients come to me when they feel disconnected, lost, overwhelmed, lonely, frustrated, angry, sad, and confused. You may want something but don't know how to get it, or worthy enough to receive it. Or maybe you aren't sure what you want, and need help gaining clarity. My role is to walk with my clients as they learn about themselves, and how their families, relationships, and experiences have impacted their understanding of who they are both internally and in relationship with others. I hope to empower clients to value themselves, and form the relationships they desire.

Life can be difficult at times, but it can be even more challenging when you have anxiety, stress, depressive thoughts, negative beliefs, and unhealthy patterns getting in the way of your success. I provide a safe space where we can process all of the uncomfortable thoughts and feelings that may arise in your daily life. It won't always be pretty, but that is when the healing begins. Let’s work together to explore yourself, dig deep and process the past, so that you can get the most out the the present. You don't have to feel stuck in your anxiety, negative patterns, or stress of everyday life anymore.
