Career Counseling Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

Our identities have been sculpted and influenced by what societal narratives say our lives are "supposed to be". I believe that human struggle and periods of transition are a natural part of life that can oftentimes make us feel as if we are living a life that is out of our control. Through self-exploration, strength identification, coaching, and supportive guidance, therapy can help to transform difficult experiences into rich opportunities for growth, healing, and change.

Thanks for visiting my profile! I specialize in adults (college - 40's) dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship & career challenges, ADHD, OCD, panic attacks, and trauma. My approach is first to understand your struggles and perspective. And, as needed, supplement your instincts with clinical tools/ insights. I draw from modalities such as CBT, humanism, IFS, attachment theory & mindfulness (see Treatment Approach below). I'm also trained in Positive Psychology—aka. the scientific study of happiness. As such, I aim to help clients both (1) overcome challenges and (2) optimize passion/ well-being in their lives.

I strive to create an environment that is calm, safe, non-judgmental, and validating and give clients the power to determine what they would like to focus on during sessions. Therapy can help individuals develop insight into themselves, consider and implement solutions to their concerns, clarify their goals and create plans to achieve them. It will also help individuals grow in various elements of their lives, and find a safe space of support and empathy. I support clients struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-esteem, body image concerns, decision making, relational concerns, and career concerns.

Over the course of life, we accumulate hurts and wounds that impact how we function in our day to day lives. We can feel flooded by a range of difficult, often overpowering thoughts & emotions. We also can experience challenges in our relationships as well as in our efforts to process and respond to overwhelming life events. Integrating experiential aspects of Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and somatic therapies along with relational/attachment-based therapy, I will partner with you to help you locate and strengthen your inner resources of healing and resilience.

We all have an internal sense of when it's time to do the work. Whether it is trauma, the unrelenting pull of depression, the unrest of anxiety or the negative cycle we find our beloved relationship in, you have an innate need to feel heard and understood. Let's create that space together.

Relationships, new life stages, career changes, can be challenging. I specialize in helping individuals transition into their new life status with confidence and perspective. We all look to increase our happiness and joy, reduce our stress , frustrations and and suffering, improve our relationships and accomplish our goals.
