Find a Therapist in Audubon, Pennsylvania.

I utilize both cognitive behavioral & psychodynamic techniques to not only alleviate present symptoms but to begin identifying & resolving the underlying cause. Much like physical pain, which can often be addressed with medication, it is critical to understand & attend to what is causing the pain. This process involves exploring both the present & the past to recognize how different patterns & coping strategies developed as well as how they may be altered, creating a more healthful life. Some individuals come briefly & focus on a specific concern & others longer term to more deeply explore themselves & their patterns. There's no set way to do this. It's about what you need & where you are.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

Therapy can provide the opportunity to express and process emotions in order to understand the root of a problem as well as create the possibility for lasting positive change. Therapy can also be a safe place where not only can you learn about who you are, you can come to understand what you want for your life. Therapy can help you make sense out of the loss and past traumas as well as a place to give voice and understand better our story and the meaning we make from that story we want to tell to others about our life and who we are.

Are you feeling hurt, overwhelmed, stuck or lost. Psychotherapy can help. My approach to therapy is primarily psychodynamic which means that together we will seek to understand how, over time, you have learned to perceive yourself, others and the world. I will integrate complementary therapies such as Gestalt, Existential, Cognitive-Behavioral when appropriate as we work together to unearth long standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a full and meaningful life. With clients working through trauma, I provide safe anchors to help you regain a sense of empowerment and balance.
