It has always been important to me to help others find their own worth; realize that they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect; and to help them see that often the biggest obstacle to obtaining a sense of worth is a lack of belief that they deserve it. These messages were often given to us early in life and we have carried them into our current lives-navigating them with old narratives. I believe that everyone has the right to be unburdened from these old messages to find a truer and more grounded sense of self.  

My approach combines psychodynamic, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to support insight and meaningful, lasting change. I am trained in EMDR and incorporate it into treatment when helpful. Therapy with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and engaged. Together, we’ll explore patterns, clarify your goals, and build a stronger sense of authenticity, self-understanding, and agency.  

You might find yourself caught in cycles of self-doubt or feeling unsure how to move toward the life you want. Past experiences—such as trauma, relational pain, or unmet needs—can linger, shaping how you see yourself and make sense of the world. You may also notice a tendency to judge your emotions harshly, turning frustration or blame inward and carrying a quiet sense of loneliness or disconnection. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, exploring identity, or longing for deeper connection in your relationships, I believe therapy can illuminate paths forward. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, supporting the growth of self-trust and opening possibilities for healing, meaning, and more authentic connection.  

I became a therapist because I believe in the power of human connection and the deep healing that can happen when we feel truly seen and heard. My work is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s story. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions—each client brings something unique, and I tailor our work to reflect that. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable with me right away, like they don’t have to pretend or hold back. I bring a calm, grounded presence to sessions, and while I am here to support and listen, I am also not afraid to gently challenge when it’s helpful. My goal is always to help you feel more at home in yourself and more empowered in your life. I understand how difficult it can be to take the first step, therefore, you can expect a prompt response from me. If you are interested in a complimentary 15 minute phone consultation, please contact me by phone, text or email.  

When asked to describe myself in one word, I generally choose unflappable, which may be another way of saying grounded. I jumped into this work with two feet, training first in addiction at UCLA, and then at Pacific Graduate Institute for a Masters in Counseling. I am a certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor, I CADC II, and hold dual licensure as LMFT and LPCC. I also trained in EMDR, at the Parnell Institute.  

I work with adults who feel worn down by trauma, spiritual or religious harm, and identity-related stress. Many clients arrive feeling “functional” but internally stuck in fear, shutdown, shame, or exhaustion. My office is a place to bring the real story without needing to minimize it. I’m a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who blends psychotherapy with careful, collaborative medication support when useful. Sessions often include parts work informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR principles, with practical skills from ACT to help you move toward values, not just symptom control. I welcome LGBTQ+ clients and people recovering from SOGICE experiences with special care and respect. We move at your pace and build change meant to last.  

Hello! I am a licensed psychotherapist with two office locations in Connecticut and offers secure remote sessions for clients throughout Connecticut and Florida. I specialize in working with teenagers, young adults, and their families, supporting individuals as they navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, trauma, and addiction-related concerns. I have a particular passion for working with recent high school and college graduates, as well as parents of teenagers and adult children who are struggling with identity, confidence, and major life transitions. My work is grounded in helping people strengthen their relationship with themselves and with the people who matter most.  

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.  

We are all about empowering women through psychotherapy! Our primary physical location is in Chicago + we're providing online therapy to clients across the states of Illinois and Florida.  

I strive through an empathic approach to meet my client where they are, in the moment. Collaborating together, we will explore and dissect the presenting problems or issues and work towards finding solace.  

I have come to the field of psychotherapy following a diverse and meandering path. I consider myself a fellow traveler, working on my own growth and transformation, while in service to my clients. Supporting others along the way in their suffering and joy has been integral to my journey. ​  

Many of the clients I work with feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or weighed down by stress, anxiety, low self-worth, or unresolved trauma. Some are navigating burnout or relationship struggles and aren't sure where to begin — they just know they want something to change. My role is to help clients reconnect with themselves, uncover new insight, and build a more grounded, meaningful life. I also support clients struggling with trichotillomania, skin picking, and other BFRBs (body-focused repetitive behaviors). These patterns often develop in response to anxiety, trauma, or emotional stress. Using EMDR and evidence-based strategies, I help clients better understand their urges, reduce harmful behaviors, and build greater self-awareness and compassion. I’m a licensed clinical social worker and EMDR-trained therapist offering online therapy for adults throughout California. My approach combines trauma-informed care, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), parts work, and other evidence-based tools to support lasting change. I tailor therapy to each individual’s needs and pace, offering a compassionate space where healing feels possible and manageable.  

My approach to mental health care is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that each person’s story matters. I work with teens and adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful change. In our work together, I combine psychiatric medication management with brief therapeutic support. This allows us to address symptoms while also exploring practical strategies that improve daily functioning, resilience, and overall wellbeing. I believe mental health is influenced by many factors, including stress, sleep, lifestyle, and physical health. I take a whole-person approach when developing treatment plans. Seeking help can be a big step, and my role is to walk alongside you in that process. Together, we focus on identifying what is getting in the way of the life you want to live and creating a path forward that feels realistic and sustainable. My goal is not only to help reduce symptoms but to support you in building a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.  

All treatment interventions are collaboratively designed and customized to address the unique needs of each client, grounded in the latest evidence-based practices.  

At Navigate Life Counseling, we believe that you are the captain of your own ship, and you just need a navigator to help you through the rough waters of life. Our counseling services are designed to help our clients unlock their potential and achieve their goals. I have been in private practice for over 20 years, and have the professional experience to help you.  

I specialize in exposure-based therapies for OCD and anxiety disorders. My clients typically have tried therapy before, but have not seen much improvement. They continue living in fear, anxiety, and guilt, as their lives continue getting smaller and smaller. This is because OCD and most anxiety disorders require specialized treatment. Coping skills are great, but they can only get you so far. The good news is, there are science-backed treatments for OCD and for anxiety that actually work. If you're ready to stop coping and start living, take a leap of faith and reach out. My style is structured and balances use of the latest science with compassion and understanding. My goal is to make you feel heard, and feel challenged. I serve adults with primary issues of OCD and anxiety, and I also address co-occurring depression, insomnia, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and trauma, using cognitive-behavioral therapies. I address all forms of OCD and anxiety, but I have a special interest in scrupulosity (religious- and moral-based) OCD. I love helping people stop letting their OCD hijack their sources of meaning and get back to having faith in faith again.  

We are all unique individuals which means that each person I meet with requires special attention. My background and specialties were chosen based on my personal and professional experiences as it relates to our mental and physical wellbeing. Much of this revolves around the fact that behavioral change is not usually easy but has to be a foundation of treatment in order to obtain each individual's optimal health. My hope is to be a catalyst for change, and my goal is to create a safe environment to better reinforce long-term change. My experience provides the opportunity to educate, support, and empower each person that I encounter on a daily basis.  

I have specialized in the treatment of anxiety, fear, and OCD for over 20 years. I frequently work with individuals struggling with chronic worry, social anxiety, panic disorder, and OCD. These conditions are very treatable and evidence-based interventions are effective in helping individuals overcome suffering and live more fulfilling lives.  

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist with 20 years experience working with children, adolescents, families and adults who are experiencing symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and challenges adjusting to life changes and stressors. I utilize an integrated approach that incorporates EMDR therapy, expressive arts, Internal Family Systems (parts work), movement and mindfulness. Your interests, strengths, culture and resources are also incorporated into your therapy experience to help you reach your goals and maintain progress.
