Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here! It’s really nice to meet you. I’m a licensed professional counselor, and I’ve spent years helping people work through tough emotions like trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I also have a special focus on supporting those who’ve faced emotional challenges because of their work or have been affected by toxic environments that impact both mental and physical health.

I’m here to help you find a way through.

Being a therapist has seemed like a natural progression for me. I have always been able to easily relate to others and meet them where they are. I have taken my own struggles and used them to help make myself stronger and be able to gain insight into how to help others who may be struggling. I think anyone can benefit through the self-exploration that comes with therapy. I find it rewarding to see the progress people are capable of and to help them see the progress themselves.

Hi! I'm Dana, a licensed therapist (LPC) in Philadelphia. My educational background has focused primarily on Biology (undergrad) and Trauma-Centric Counseling (grad school). This comes through in therapy as holistic attention to the body and nervous system and a lens that zeroes in on adaptations and functionality of patterns vs. diagnosis and judgement. The majority of my clinical experience has taken place in a specialized community mental health setting, working with people who have experienced acute or complex trauma in childhood and/or adulthood. Currently, I work with adults who are tired of the way their past experiences keep impacting the way they show up in the present, who feel like their feelings are "too much", and who get stuck overthinking everything but are unable to make meaningful change stick. If you're struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues and/or low self esteem; I'm here to tell you that there isn't anything 'wrong' with you. You aren't broken, you have simply learned to cope in ways that are no longer serving you. You don't need to be labeled or pathologized, you need to be supported by someone who actually gets you.

I believe that if every human being had someone to provide them with unconditional positive regard, especially during the formative years of childhood, our world would be a safer place. Unfortunately, many of us don’t even make it through childhood without wounds from emotionally painful experiences. Sometimes the consequences of these experiences are long-lasting and can impact our well-being, relationships, and work. Fortunately, therapy can help. I have worked in community and university settings for the past 9 years, and I have experience treating a variety of mental health struggles such as anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, trauma, marriage/family issues, and communication challenges.

Have you been wondering if your current challenges are due to past traumatic life events? Do you struggle in relationships? If so, I may be the Therapist for you. I specialize in trauma therapy for teenagers and adults. Many people often think trauma is only caused by violent crimes, acts of physical abuse, or natural disasters. They may also think because trauma happened a long time ago, it does not affect them in the present. These are a few of the myths about trauma. There are many types of traumas such as the sudden or unexpected death of a loved one, bullying, retaliation in the workplace, neglect from parents, infidelity, intimate partner violence, the witnessing of domestic violence and more.

Together we can focus on building resilience, finding clarity, and moving toward a life filled with greater balance and possibility.

I work by using an integrative approach and adapt the approaches that is best suited for the client’s needs. I have experience in delivering Person Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy & Dialectic Behavioural Informed Therapy. I understand that therapy can be daunting but I offer a safe, confidential, emphatic and non-judgemental environment. My aim is to help clients understand their mental health issues better and empower them to achieve the changes they need in order to live a better quality of life. I have been a Counselling Psychologist for over 10 years and have a wide range of experience in a variety of healthcare settings such as the NHS, Charities & Private Hospitals in the UK. I have extensive experience working in both primary and secondary care settings including Secondary Schools, Universities, Drug & Alcohol Services, Trauma Services and in Forensic Settings. I also have experience working with young people and adults presenting with a wide range of difficulties such as depression, anxiety, eating disorder, personality disorder, drug addiction and relationship difficulties. I offer individual, group, family & couples therapy.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has experience working with children, teenagers, adults and families. I have experience working with individuals who have suffered from trauma, resulting in anxiety disorders and depression. I utilize Emotion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a trauma-informed approach. I believe it is important to validate, empathize and show care for your clients while also providing them a human experience that can allow them to grow and reach their goals. Using humor and being down to earth is something I believe can help clients to feel more comfortable to share difficult experiences.
