For over 10 years, I have specialized in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which is a form of talk therapy that research has shown to be just as effective as antidepressant medication for treating anxiety, depression and many other problems. Together we will tailor an individualized treatment for you that makes use of your skills and strengths and relies on evidence-based treatment to address your specific needs.

Transition Phase III Trauma-Specific Clinic provides therapeutic mental health services that will enable those in need to cope through the most trying periods in their lives. Here, they will find empowerment to conquer the challenges of life and realize the opportunity to live safe, productive, and fulfilling lives. We strive to extend a strong message of hope to the greater Delaware Valley (multicultural, multilingual, intergenerational, military veterans, LGBT). Our staff of caring professionals is committed to avoidance of re-traumatization and has joined this clinic because they want and know how to help. TP3 specializes in a theory-based group intervention program called "TREM," or the "Trauma Recovery Empowerment Model". We know group sessions can be hard for people because they don't feel safe. Our group leaders are committed to ensuring that each group member's feelings, experiences, thoughts and opinions are respected while confidentiality is strictly maintained. Groups’ help participants realize they are not alone and create a venue to learn from others who have been in similar circumstances. Trauma is defined as the exposure to an extreme stressor in which a person experiences, witnesses, or is confronted with actual or threatened death or serious injury, or threat to the physical integrity of oneself or others. The person's response to the event must involve intense fear, helplessness, or horror (in children, the response must involve disorganized or agitated behavior). Trauma can result from experiences that are "private"(sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse/neglect, witnessing interpersonal violence) or more "public"(war, terrorism, hurricanes, floods). Trauma has been linked to hallucinations and delusions, depression, suicidal tendencies, chronic anxiety, hostility, chronic fatigue syndrome, eating disorders and dissociation. In children, trauma may be incorrectly diagnosed as depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), conduct disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, and reactive attachment disorder. The Adverse Childhood Effects (ACE) study, which examined the health and social effects of traumatic childhood experiences over the lifespan of 18,000 participants, has demonstrated that trauma is far more prevalent than previously recognized, that the impacts of trauma are cumulative, and that unaddressed trauma underlies a huge range of health problems(heart disease, cancer, chronic lung disease, liver disease, skeletal fractures, HIV-AIDS) and social problems(homelessness, prostitution, delinquency, criminal behavior and the inability to hold a job). The traumatic event can be experienced in various ways; recurrent and intrusive recollections of the event; deliberate efforts to avoid thoughts, feelings, or conversations about the traumatic event; irritability or outbursts of anger; and difficulty concentrating or completing tasks.
