I earned a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. My training is mainly in neuroscience, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, trauma work, and couples therapy. My practice is based on ISTDP, a new form of Short-Term Psychoanalysis based on attachment research, mindfulness, and neurobiology.
Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) is an evidence-based approach that leads to resolution of emotional suffering. Life is difficult. Pain and loss are unavoidable. Perhaps, your are hurting and you are not sure what to do about it. At times, we all need someone who can listen with expertise, compassion, and without judgement.
