But sometimes we have relationships or traumas that can impact our ability to get back to positive and hopeful daily living.

I am a psychotherapist who treats adults in the Philadelphia area using specialized therapies such as psychodynamic therapy and eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR).

I focus on guiding you through the ongoing effects of family conflict, violence in relationships, trauma, life transitions, divorce, co-parenting, and struggling with a loved one's alcohol addiction. Some things that you may be experiencing are: isolation, emotional instability, feeling overwhelmed, hopelessness, loss and despair. Those things can be labeled as depression or anxiety. But even if you don't have a name for what you are experiencing and just feel stuck, I can help.

I encourage my patients to speak freely about their thoughts, behaviors, and ideas in a neutral and non-judgmental space. Together we can discover patterns in your thoughts and behaviors that may be inhibiting your relationships or stopping you from reaching your personal or professional goals.

Sometimes my patients and I uncover a traumatic experience that is impacting them. This is when eye movement desensitization therapy or EMDR can be helpful. This therapy modality allows us to address the trauma without having to talk about it in detail allowing the patient to work through the experience without the added stress of reliving it again.

Focus

My focus is to provide a safe environment where I will listen to you, value what you say, and work with you to achieve calmness in your daily life. Above all, I will keep your best interests at heart and honor who you are, along with your beliefs and values with respect for what brings you into our meetings.

I currently work with patients virtually through a secure telehealth platform or in person at my office in Erdenheim, PA. During our initial consultation, we will discuss my session fee; I offer a select number of sliding scale sessions, please let me know if you are interested in learning more about this option.

Location

I practice in person in Erdenheim, PA. This office closely serves the surrounding neighborhoods of Glenside, Flourtown, Ambler, Lafayette Hill, Chestnut Hill, and Northwest Philadelphia. I also practice virtually through a HIPPA compliant video platform.
