Self Esteem Therapists in 19130

Everyone faces some bumps on the road of life. Often times it is helpful to have someone besides friends or family to help fix the pot holes or navigate a new road. One of my strengths is creating a safe space through a non-judgmental attitude, being open minded, using humor, and basically keeping it real. By blending a focus on present day problems and any childhood issues we will work towards the goals you want to accomplish. Together we will focus on you making healthier choices, improving mood and self-esteem, and creating a better life balance.

I am a psychotherapist who practices through a unique lens. First, I am a relational therapist. I create deeply compassionate and loving intimate relationships (that are ethically boundaried) with my clients so the safety exists to form a collaborative approach to their inner world. I practice with an emphasis on understanding the neuroscience behind human behavior to help clients rewire their neural pathways that were created in childhood & that lead to their discomfort of their symptomatology. I work with adults on issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, sex and relationships, identity issues, loss, and suicidal ideations.

My therapy focuses on you and your needs. My job is not to tell you what to do, but to walk alongside you on your journey, making you aware of and exploring things that may hinder your success. I am trauma-informed and feel that past experiences heavily impact how we navigate the world currently. Personal identity also plays a significant role in our lives and sometimes affects mental health. The client-therapist relationship is extremely important and it is my job to build trust, so you feel comfortable being completely open and honest in a non-judgmental session so positive change can occur.

At any stage of development, we are bound to encounter obstacles to our ability to thrive. I help clients to become proactive agents in their own process. I have worked with all ages to reduce symptoms, promote growth, and instill lasting change. I support children, teens, adults, and families in healing from anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression and OCD. I have a speciality in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, especially GNC and transgender folks. I am licensed in AL, AZ, AR, CT, CO, DE, GA, FL, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, ME, MD, MI, MN, MO, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NC, ND, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WV, WI, WY.

Let's work together to achieve the emotional well-being you deserve.

Clients seek therapy for a variety of reasons and I look forward to helping you determine what purpose therapy will serve for you and what therapy will help you accomplish. I can support your strengths, help you understand yourself better, build new skills, make connections between your past and present, and heal trauma. I view clients as important collaborators in therapeutic treatment and I value your contributions and honor your personal identity and experience in the therapeutic process.

As a therapist, I feel privileged to be a part of my clients' lives and be able to witness the resilience and strength within each person I work with. We all have challenges and struggles that we need help navigating sometimes. My experience is working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, grief, OCD, ADHD, and relationship problems. In my work, I try to prioritize co-creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard, understood, and supported.

In my practice, I work with individuals who have experienced trauma, relationship issues, difficulty dating/finding the right partner, career decisions, navigating life transitions, and self esteem.  I work especially well with individuals who are curious to understand themselves and others, and who naturally think about connections and patterns in their lives.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist located near Rittenhouse Square. While I have experience with a wide range of issues, I am especially skilled in working with depression, anxiety, loneliness, loss, shame, and sexual and gender identity concerns. My approach to treatment is relational and psychodynamic. This means that I strive to maintain a strong focus on the relationship⁠—both the therapeutic and real, human relationship⁠—between the client and me. To this end, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is itself a powerful agent for change and can serve as a foundation for addressing numerous real-world problems.

My therapeutic approach is strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming. My primary focus is working with autistic and other neurodivergent children (age 4 and up), teens, and young adults as they navigate a world that can be confusing and complex. I also work with individuals with anxiety, depression, sensory processing differences, executive functioning challenges, and divergent ways of communicating and socializing. In particular, I have significant experience supporting teens and young adults as they transition to adulthood, helping them navigate this daunting but exciting time in their lives.

​I approach patient care with the belief that we all have the inner resources needed for healing. Being in therapy does not need to be a life-long process yet one can gain invaluable insight as well as emotional and mental support from working with a seasoned clinician. The therapeutic process should help one to become increasingly more honest with self and ultimately more capable of enjoying life's precious moments.

I have a passion for working with those exploring gender and sexual identity, trauma, substance use, recovery, and those in the LGBTQ+ community. The therapy I provide is tailored to your individual needs and can help you facilitate personal growth and development. Therapy is most effective when you feel safe and respected. I would be honored to provide that space for you. I view my work with you as a collaborative process. I want to learn more about you and understand the problems you are facing from your perspective. I can provide letters for gender confirmation surgery.

Hey! I'm glad you're here. You've taken a great step in pursuing positive change for yourself and I would be honored to be a part of your journey. My typical client may identify themselves as "a people pleaser," "the strong friend," "the reliable one," and struggle to identify and address their own needs. If you're here, you may recognize the need to change and adjust your relationships accordingly. Change is hard and sometimes it's easier to stay in the same rhythm, even when change would have a positive impact on your life. If you're ready to take the steps, I am ready to support you in finding the best methods to make it happen.
