About
I lost my brother to suicide, so I know how disorienting grief can be, and I help people face hard things honestly.
I’m a licensed therapist with 13 years of clinical experience, and I work with adults dealing with anxiety, grief, relationship stress, parenting stress, and major life transitions. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, worn down, stuck, or disconnected, even if they look like they’re holding it together on the outside. They’ve often been carrying a lot alone, and therapy gives them a place to talk honestly, make sense of things, and begin to move forward.
My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative. I help clients make sense of what they’re feeling, notice the patterns that keep them stuck, and take practical steps toward change. I use CBT and motivational interviewing to help people respond in healthier ways, communicate more honestly, and feel more like themselves again.
Starting therapy can feel hard, especially when you’ve been carrying a lot by yourself. You don’t have to do that alone. If you’re ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment. I’d be glad to walk with you as you begin to work through the challenges you’re facing and move forward.

Loneliness counseling is a specialized form of therapy focused on helping individuals navigate the emotional challenges and isolation associated with persistent loneliness. Counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Philadelphia, PA create a supportive and understanding environment where clients can delve into the root causes of their loneliness and develop strategies to establish meaningful social connections.
Loneliness counseling employs a multifaceted approach, utilizing Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to reframe your negative thought patterns, enhance communication, and improve social skills. It also incorporates interpersonal therapy to address relationship patterns, and mindfulness practices to manage feelings of loneliness and self-criticism. Goal-setting is also encouraged to help you actively pursue social connections and community engagement. Through these techniques, loneliness therapy empowers individuals to overcome isolation, develop meaningful relationships, and enhance their overall emotional well-being.
Thriveworks loneliness counseling in Philadelphia, PA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Loneliness counseling can take different amounts of time. It depends on how lonely a person is and how they’re doing in counseling. Normally, it involves many sessions that last from a few weeks to a few months. The exact number of sessions and how long it takes are determined with the loneliness counselor’s input.
As loneliness is becoming a bigger social problem, many people are fighting for community. They are learning the social skills it takes to give and receive love, as Mother Teresa exhorts. They are taking the vulnerable steps of opening up about their sadness and joy. In the process of overcoming their loneliness, many people are working with a mental health professional. A skilled therapist can often point clients toward the emotional and social muscles they need to exercise as they build up their community.
The counselors and therapists at Thriveworks Philadelphia have worked with many clients who feel loneliness but who are also ready to pursue community. Reach out today for loneliness support.
The social skills needed to overcome isolation and build community are just that—skills. Like any other ability, people can improve their skill at connecting with others. Here are a few tips for how…
What is the common thread in popular shows? Community. Friends and families are sharing their lives on screen. All too often, these shows are popular because they display the connections people long for in their own lives but do not have.
In many ways, TV mocks those who watch it. Instead of watching friends share a home and pursue their medical careers together, so move into a home with your closest friends. Instead of watching a tight-knit family planning their adventures together, go plan an adventure with your own family. Instead of watching friends hang out at a bar or a coffee shop, go hang out at a bar or coffee shop with your friends. When people watch less TV and spend more time with their loved ones, they rarely miss the screen time.
Bringing people into your inner circle means building deeper connections with them. When people are in your inner circle, they are more than acquaintances—they are friends. Here are some ways to know if a person is in your inner circle:
When people have an inner circle, they feel much less lonely, and the world feels a little less scary.
Are you feeling the loneliness of modern society? You are not the only one. Many people are experiencing loneliness, but many are also overcoming it and building the community they want. If you are ready to learn the social skills you need to form the community you desire, then the therapists and counselors at Thriveworks Philadelphia are ready to help.
