When we truly know ourselves, the underlying motivations for our actions, and the subconscious fears that drive us, we can begin to exercise more control over our lives and move towards self-actualization. Mental illness is often defined through a lens of dysfunction, yet, even if we were able to remove all of the dysfunction from one’s life, the experience of needing support would still be present for many people. My goal is not only to make sure my clients are functioning at their best, but also that they feel strong, genuine, and intentional while doing it. Sometimes life is messy, and like a spill tray, therapy can help to contain this mess before it overflows into other areas of your life. As a harm reduction psychotherapist, I will work with you to reduce risk and get the most positive outcomes from your decisions, while also mitigating the negative consequences and containing the spill. I offer flexible scheduling, a sliding fee scale, and a free initial consultation on the phone or in person. My office is located in the Fishtown area, with available street parking, and it is easily accessible by the Market-Frankford Line. Give me a call to see if we are a good fit!
