Licensed Professional Counselor in Philadelphia, PA

About My Clients

You connect with the arts. Metaphor, imagery, and sensation help you engage with the world. You're experiencing difficult situations and strong emotions. Your life feels overwhelming and your relationships aren't going well. You are unhappy, frustrated, and hurting. Worst of all, you are at a loss for how fix to it. Sometimes, you don't even know how to describe it. You are not broken or weak. Often, people are overwhelmed, because they face situations with deep, long-standing roots.

My Background and Approach

You don't have to face your problems alone or come up with solutions by yourself. ​​Together, we build an understanding of the intricacies of your struggles and explore how you can approach them.​ I blend your individual experiences with the cultural pressures at work to form a holistic understanding ​of the difficulties you face. You will receive customized treatment that combines creative expression with talk therapy. Appointments start with exploring your concerns. Then, I lead you in a guided creative exercise to help you process your concerns ​​ ​and practice for ​change outside the office. Therapy will not remove your feelings or creativity. ​It will help you understand and work with your emotions, rather than succumb to them. Therapy supports a life with deep creative expression.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

​We feel emotions in our bodies. Sometimes, our emotions cause physical discomfort. ​Other times, we feel so strongly we become numb and disconnected. ​​​Becoming overwhelmed can leave us ​feeling lonely and misunderstood. ​​We want to connect with others and enjoy life, ​but we also want to​ protect ourselves. ​​In therapy with me, you will learn how to understand, appreciate, and work ​with your emotions to cultivate your relationships, fulfillment, and vitality. It's important for you to work with someone who helps you feel comfortable, supported, and understood. Talking together will help you know if you want to work with me. You don't have to know what to say! It's my job to support you through this process. ​I will ask questions, learn about your situation, and let you know if I can help.
