Middle Way Professional Counseling, LLC

Whether you are facing personal challenges or relationship conflict, therapy provides an opportunity to explore your concerns, develop your strengths, improve your relationships, and face your vulnerabilities with confidence. As a collaborative approach to personal growth, therapy offers reflective and insightful feedback within the context of a validating, present-centered environment. As we navigate the process of therapy together, the ultimate aim is a life of meaning and fulfillment.

For two decades, I have served as a counseling professional within diverse learning environments and behavioral health practices throughout the Philadelphia region. I have broad experience caring for individuals and their families, and consulting with local school districts, community agencies, and treatment facilities on best practices for trauma-informed care.

I have received formal training and supervision in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a treatment of choice for individuals who have experienced adversity and traumatic invalidation, struggle with self-worth, and have difficulty managing stress, maintaining emotional balance, and sustaining meaningful relationships. As an experienced skills group instructor, I  have adapted and led DBT skills groups in a variety of treatment settings.

As an integrative practitioner, my work also draws on person-centered, solution-focused, somatic, and mindfulness-based approaches, utilizing the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle for progress. Committed to continuous learning, I regularly engage in professional development and peer consultation to ensure ongoing clinical effectiveness.
