Attachment-based Therapists in Kennett Square, PA

I join clients who are struggling with anxiety, mood changes, and thoughts and behavior that disrupt their lives. Many of my clients feel removed from their lives and relationships, almost like they're watching as an outsider. My goal is to help clients feel happier, more in control, and more present in their lives. Let's start the conversation, what do you feel is holding you back?

I enjoy walking alongside clients to help them live their preferred lives. Having spent years living, working, and traveling around the world, I have a deep appreciation for diversity and the many things that make us each unique. With all my clients I strive to be down-to-earth and compassionate, and believe that a sense of humor is an essential tool for navigating life’s many obstacles.

I specialize in providing therapy for children, teens, and young adults who are struggling with school, relationships, and life transitions. During the crucial early years of life it is important that children and teens are given the right support to deal with difficulties impacting their school performance, mood, and communication with parents. I believe that a combination of skills-based learning for children, adolescents and teens in addition to guidance and support for parents is critical in helping young people overcome challenges and get back to feeling like themselves.

If you are interested in growing, changing and working with difficulties in your life that are preventing you from living the fullest, richest life possible, then you have found the right therapist. I look forward to speaking with you.

Therapy is a gift of time set aside to pause and acknowledge how you’re feeling, and what you need. In times of high anxiety, frustration, or loneliness, it’s important to develop meaningful ways to be present with our emotions and to learn new ways to nurture ourselves in the midst of life’s challenges. I specialize in relational therapy, a type of therapy that focuses on the quality of your relationships, both with yourself and with others. The goal in therapy is to help you navigate current challenges, past traumas, and to develop more healthy relationship patterns moving forward.

Life can be really hard sometimes. We have all experienced the challenges that come with just trying to get through the tough times life tends to throw at us. And what happens when it all builds up and the trauma becomes overwhelming? We might find ourselves shutting down, avoiding dealing with things, or just distracting ourselves. When this happens, we often isolate and it can become even more challenging to get out of that hole. Trauma impacts everyone differently, but there is a way through, and that is where our work together begins. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and see if we are a good fit.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) currently working in private practice with over ten years of experience working in community health care. I specialize in helping individuals cope with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and other mental health challenges. I believe that everyone has the potential to heal and grow, and I am committed to providing a safe and supportive space where my clients can do just that.

These are unprecedented times that challenge all of us. As humans, we perceive uncertainty as a threat, which can lead to anxiety or depression in otherwise healthy individuals. In my practice, my associates and I focus on attachment and trauma as root causes of anxiety and depression. We go beyond symptom relief to help our clients understand how they came to be anxious or depressed and what to do about it.

I understand the importance of finding a therapist that is a good fit for you and how challenging that search can feel. My primary focus as your therapist is that you feel understood and seen. I work to provide a safe space for you to feel heard, and a space where it is safe to challenge yourself. We will work within this safe space to make connections regarding how your past impacts your present life and with this awareness we will strive to find peace in the present.

As a licensed psychologist with over 35 years of experience, I am committed to working with individuals and couples to address physical and mental health issues, sexual/relationship concerns, professional challenges, and life transitions. I believe that a good psychotherapeutic relationship can help you to feel better about yourself, develop resilience and enhance your relationships. My program "Lost and Found" is for women who are 5-10 years post cancer treatment. This work helps to optimize your health, deal with the trauma of illness and find ways to utilize your strengths and abilities to live a more fulfilled, authentic life.

Seeking therapy means you have to trust a new and unfamiliar person and process. My job is to create a strong therapeutic relationship that allows you to explore the circumstances and relationships that are interfering with your life in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. In my practice, I help my clients gain personal insight and individual strength to help them address issues with depression, stress and anxiety, parenting, life transitions and interpersonal relationships. I have a certificate from Bryn Mawr College in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy, and I especially enjoy working with preteens, teens, and young adults.

Are you feeling frustrated in your marriage? Are you tired of having the same fight over and over again without anything changing? Do you have sexual concerns? With over a decade of clinical experience in treating couples who are struggling to connect emotionally and resolve conflicts, I understand how frustrating relationship problems can get. At the same time I also understand how difficult and even embarrassing it can be to call a counselor and admit that your relationship needs some help. But let me assure you that the discomfort of reaching out for help is well worth it.

“If you are depressed you are living in the past, if you are anxious you are living in the future, if you are at peace, you are living in the present". . .The immortal wisdom of 6th c. philosopher Lao Tzu informs my approach to life and to therapy. I seek to help my clients be open, curious, and accepting of their present experiences, to make meaning from their adversity, and to embrace their futures with a sense of agency and adventure.

I work with all individuals, children and youth, families and groups. I have a special love for working with pre-teens into early adulthood as well as adoptees (all ages), fosterees (all ages) and former foster youth. I am specialized in foster care, adoption, reunification, those who have experienced childhood institution (Hospitalizations and Residential Treatment Facilities) and parent-child attachment.
