Kennett Square, Pennsylvania - Clinical Social Worker/therapist
Online

Welcome! I provide a safe space for those who are experiencing negative thoughts and feelings that impact their daily lives as well as their relationships with partners, family, friends, colleagues, and peers. After years of working as a social worker in hospice care and retirement communities, I have developed a passion for working with adults of all ages understand their internal and external responses to a variety of factors including life transitions, loss of loved ones, caregiver stress, family conflict, and unprocessed trauma. Whether you're 18 or 81, undergoing these changes or being exposed to certain situations can lead to grief, anxiety, overwhelm, stress, depression, compulsive and impulsive behaviors, and more. Together we will explore your experiences, thoughts, and feelings, and work towards alleviating your symptoms, and improving your life and relationships. Upon meeting, we will have a discussion to understand why you are seeking therapy and what your hopes and expectations are. This will help us navigate your short-term and long-term goals, and will naturally lay out the foundation for our therapeutic relationship. During all subsequent interactions, I will encourage you to guide our conversations while I occasionally interject with questions and observations, not only to gain additional insight on both our parts, but also to help you consider your experiences from different perspectives which can often lead to better understanding of yourself and your environment, and be steps towards your goals. Over time, I will work with you to develop coping techniques and personalized tools that can provide relief for the issues that are weighing down on you. I will occasionally assign exercises that you can incorporate into your routine until we reconnect which can help you become more attuned with yourself and those around you in different ways than before your therapy journey. Therapy can be daunting for many individuals; this is completely normal and understandable, and we will work towards your goals at a pace that works best for you. I look forward to hearing your personal experiences, and helping you understand who you are, who you want to be, and getting you to that place.
