Are your struggling with debilitating symptoms of anxiety or depression? Perhaps, you are one of the millions who just feels stuck, depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed. Please know this: There is hope and you can move from suffering to engagement with life. In an accepting and compassionate manner, I will be sharing with you life-transforming skills. You will be able to approach your distress in a different way and begin to live the kind of life you truly want. Individual and couples counseling provided. Services offered in English or Spanish.
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.
