Therapy Services
As a therapist, I’m like a cup of coffee: Warm, comforting, and wakes you up! I want to work with you to break free from the confines of unhelpful narratives and patterns. It’s always a good session when my clients feel challenged and motivated to be more accepting of what they can’t change while moving toward their values, even if it’s hard. I’m a big believer in “trying on” more helpful ways of being and thinking, so I use a direct and encouraging approach.
I provide individual therapy to adults experiencing anxiety, OCD, stress, and relational trauma. I can meet with you virtually or in-person, at my office located in Spring House, PA.
The Counseling Process
What to Expect When Working Together
01
Request a consultation
Once you contact me, I’ll reach out to schedule a consultation. The purpose of this brief phone call is to determine if I’d be a good fit for your needs, to schedule our initial session, and to discuss payment options.
02
Getting Started
During the first couple of sessions, I’ll be getting a more comprehensive picture of who you are, what you want for yourself, and what you’re struggling with. We’ll collaborate to identify goals and ways of working towards them.
03
Therapy session
Therapy is more than just talking to someone about your week. My role is to provide empathy while confronting any sort of obstacle that may be arising. We’ll work together to practice and implement new ways of relating to your emotions and thoughts. We’ll also identify concrete steps you can take outside of session to address these stumbling blocks.
04
Next Steps
My hope for each of my clients is that I work myself out a job. While I don’t believe we should put a certain timeline on healing, I also believe that my job as a therapist is to help you practice good mental health skills to the point where you can implement them on your own.
How I Can Help
OCD and anxiety
OCD, panic, phobias, and worrying don’t need to run the show. I’ve been specializing in OCD and anxiety disorders since 2018, using effective treatments like Exposure & Response Prevention, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Inference-based CBT. If you have been in treatment before but feel like OCD and anxiety are still in the driver’s seat, my integrative approach and extensive experience can help. In addition to helping you figure out how to cope with anxiety in more effective ways, I help you break the patterns of thoughts and behaviors at the root of these experiences.
relational trauma
We all have “mental frameworks” or “presets” that shape the way we experience and interact with the world, others, and ourselves. These frameworks are influenced by our caregivers. Maybe your upbringing left you with presets that have taught you to push down emotions, or that you’re worthless if you’re not perfect. Maybe you learned to put others’ needs first and that boundaries were a form of betrayal. You might be experiencing burnout, depression, and stress after years of overcompensating for feelings of isolation, worthlessness, or abandonment. Therapy can help you address these painful frameworks so you can move on, stronger and better than before.
"feeling stuck in life"
Maybe you’re generally feeling fine, but fine isn’t good enough anymore. You look at yourself in the mirror, and you wonder what’s missing. If you ever feel like your life is just blah and you want to shake things up and break out the box, I can help you connect with your inner spark. By clarifying what you truly value and want in your life and taking actionable steps towards breaking out of your rut, our work can guide you towards a life that is authentic, vibrant, and fulfilling.
Services for Clinicians
One of the skills that I’m passionate about is providing supervision and consultation for fellow clinicians. I provide individual supervision and consultation services to Licensed Associate Counselors in Pennsylvania and licensed clinicians across the United States, respectively.
I’ve been a licensed counselor for over five years, having worked with clients at nearly all levels of care. I value learning and honing my craft as a therapist, and I love helping other clinicians find their groove. I’m extensively trained in behavioral approaches, including Exposure Therapies (like Exposure and Response Prevention and Prolonged Exposure) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I operate from a transdiagnostic and humanistic foundation that is rooted in evidence-based science.
