PHL Therapy Collective is a client-focused, affirming private practice in Center City Philadelphia that specializes in seeing the bigger picture and the many systemic elements to anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, life changes, and sexuality. With a holistic understanding of mental health, our focus is on supporting you with the changes that are possible in a therapeutic relationship separate from whatever medication needs you may have.
During therapy consultations, most people say that they want a therapist who won't just sit there and nod at them. That makes a lot of sense to me. Starting with a new therapist takes a lot of courage and most of us wouldn't do it unless we need real help. Most hurt and trauma happens in our relationships with others and in order for therapy to help you need to be able to trust that your therapist is with you. When.you talk with me, you have my full attention. We'll make connections between what's happening now and what happened in your past experiences. We'll also work on feeling less shame and more safety.
I'm easy to sit with. I like people and I'm funny. My clients tell me that they feel like they can tell me anything. You won't learn too much about me personally but you'll know a lot about who I am because the therapeutic relationship is a big part of what heals us. That means that I'll have thoughts and reactions and I'll share them kindly and carefully.
You'll get to know yourself better and that will mean that you can feel more connected to other people. Most of the people who work with me find that their relationships with others are stronger and more satisfying and that they feel less shame, fear and sadness. We all deserve relief from our burdens.
My ideal clients are individuals, adolescents, or families who are seeking a positive change in their lives. I am experienced in working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and life transition challenges. I have a Master's degree in addictions counseling and offer outpatient treatment for drug and alcohol concerns, as well. I consider myself a guest on your journey to wellness and look forward to working together.
My experience working with neurodiversity allows me to work with a wide range of clients. We will work together to create a supportive and challenging therapeutic relationship, in order to create a space for growth to occur. Examining helpful and unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving will allow us to understand your complex narrative.
Serenity Solutions provides a nonjudgmental, confidential environment where you can safely share about struggles with anxiety and stress management, pregnancy and postpartum depression and anxiety, anger management and addictions. You will learn how to change unhealthy thinking and behaviors.
Relationships matter to me, including the relationship that I build with my clients. Whether I am working with individuals or with couples, I aim to create a space where my clients feel cared for and seen. It is my hope that the nurture that my clients experience in our sessions will transform their understanding of themselves, their lives, and their relationships. It is always a joy for me when my clients share the ways that they integrate their new insight with new actions to create lives that they enjoy.

Counseling, psychotherapy, and educational services are some of the services PhilaTherapy, LLC. offers. PhilaTherapy, LLC. prides itself on providing excellent service, communication, respect, integrity, and teamwork. These values allow us to build a trusting relationship and the best care for each of our clients.
I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family or daily life stressors. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back.
If you’re feeling stuck, isolated, disconnected from others, distracted, frustrated, doing things you don't want to, and seeking change -- let's talk. I see clients for individual therapy, and work primarily with adults between the ages of 18-40 who are experiencing anxiety and depression. Many of my clients are early or mid-career professionals balancing the competing demands of work, family, and friends. My specialties go along with associated challenges in this group: boundaries and relationships, guilt, overthinking, perfectionism, social anxiety, and inattention/problems focusing.
We are a boutique practice that values the therapeutic relationship. We take time to make sure the therapist and client are a great match to achieve the best results. Our clients seek therapy for a wide variety of reasons. Some may come to therapy to deal with a specific life struggle, such as anxiety or depression, while others initiate therapy during a difficult life transition. Even positive transitions, such as getting a new job or starting a new relationship can be stressful. It’s not uncommon to incorporate therapy into one’s “self care” routine to have a supportive space in which to slow down during the week, or to gain a deeper insight into one’s own emotional and relational patterns.
