Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

Do struggle with a lack of motivation, procrastination, depression, anxiety, feeling easily distracted, or having difficulty making decisions? Have you ever been described as lazy, messy, forgetful, or overly emotional? These are signs of ADHD, which often goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed in women. Many people often feel like "bad adults" or struggle to understand why life tasks that seem simple for others are so difficult for them. The symptoms of ADHD, especially when left untreated, can seriously affect everyday life and relationships. Together we can find creative solutions to help manage these symptoms.

Making the decision to seek the support of a therapist is a very personal process and often occurs when one wants to change an aspect of life. I work collaboratively with clients to build a trusting and compassionate therapeutic alliance, interweaving my training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Image Transformation Therapy (ImTT) with my background in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to make the counseling experience educational and empowering.

We are passionate about helping adults & couples struggling with anxiety, relational distress, life transitions, sexuality & gender. It is essential to create a safe and shame-free space for clients to explore their emotions, sexual issues, fears of intimacy, and vulnerabilities in order to make powerful changes. If you find yourself feeling lonely, disconnected from your loved ones, experiencing self-doubt and allowing fear to control your life then we can help. Through this process you will learn ways to self-regulate your emotions, practice self-love, create healthy boundaries in your relationships, and take control of your life.

I view therapy like a road trip: some parts are fun, some are not, but in the end you get to where you need to go. You are the driver and have the control but we are on the journey together. I will be there, in the passenger seat, to help reroute if we get detoured... and try to help us avoid the potholes! It’s your hard work, though, that gets us to the destination. I have found that creating a genuine connection makes all the difference in where we can go together in treatment, so let’s get this trip started!

I feel both honored and privileged to partner with individuals and couples to build their understanding of their challenges, leverage their strengths, and create personalized strategies to make meaningful changes in their lives. As a therapist with ADHD, I recognize that one of the most painful experiences that come with ADHD is feeling “in your own way” and the sense of thwarted potential that comes along with it. I also know that ADHD doesn’t just impact attention, organization, and motivation; it can affect your entire life, from your performance at work to your home life and inner world.

As a son of immigrant parents with Polish and Mexican roots, I understand the complexities of navigating multiple cultures and identities. My own experience allows me to empathize deeply with individuals and families looking to improve their relationships and find greater fulfillment. I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental space where we can openly explore how your background, family dynamics, and life patterns shape your current circumstances.

I am a strength based, future-foused clinician who facilitates therapy as an experiential process. I enable clients to access their own personal history of learnings and achievements while guiding them to create future memories of success. I incorporate mindfullness, hypnnotic zone exercises, and solution-focused/strategic therapies to help clients become smart enough to know when to stop thinking. What-iffing, Why-ing, and Self-Criticizing clients are welcome to experience a peak performance therapy that allows them to access, reconnect with, and be their best self. I also work extensively with athletes, corporate professionals, and performers.

Having issues with love, sex, or intimacy? We should talk. Whether you're currently alone or in a relationship, love, sex, and intimacy are central and powerful sources of joy and satisfaction in our lives--so when it's not working, the pain and frustration can be just as powerful.. If every conversation turns into an argument, we should talk. If you want to feel connected again, and reignite feelings that have somehow gotten lost over time, we should talk. If you have concerns about your sexual interests, behavior, or relationships, we should talk. Call us. We can help. :)

I believe therapy is an experience of self-exploration and healing where people find strength and gain insight. My practice serves individuals with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and stage of life issues. I assist couples with communication, negotiation, co-parenting issues, and rediscovering relationship harmony and desire. Negative experiences, toxic relationships, and trauma can plague individuals and couples. In therapy we explore how to increase healthy communication, gain assertiveness, and battle guilt and shame.
