My professional career has always centered around mental and behavioral health. I have seen and been a part of amazing community efforts to empower the lives of individuals living with a severe and persistent mental illness. Working as part of the assertive community treatment (ACT) team allowed me to step into the homes of adults diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar I, schizoaffective disorder, substance use disorders, and major depressive disorder. I understand how challenging it is in multiple aspects of life, including maintaining relationships and jobs that are vital. I have also worked in inpatient facilities as a psychiatric registered nurse and have a lot of clinical experience as a psychiatric nurse practitioner assisting children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, conduct disorders, mood disorders, and personality disorders. I know the process is challenging for both the parents and children trying to navigate their diagnosis. But we are not our diagnoses. And, it is okay to reach out for help when needed. I feel confident in assisting those across the lifespan in managing medication that can change this narrative. I will conduct a personalized initial intake, take my time to ask your goals, and begin medication that is right for you.

As a therapist, I aim to provide a safe and supportive environment to look at the inner workings of yourself and also process the various things that impact your life on an individual and structural level. I’ve worked across levels of care, including IOP and inpatient hospital settings, supporting teens and adults of various backgrounds navigating mental health challenges, trauma, and dual diagnoses. My background in trauma-informed case management with immigrants and refugees and research on women of color at predominantly White institutions shapes my systems-aware, culturally responsive approach in addition to my lived experience.

Welcome! Examining life is like inspecting a car, each part — the engine, wheels, and brakes, are components interacting to ensure smooth operation. Changes in one part affect the entire driving experience, much like shifts and challenges in specific aspects of our lives impact our overall functioning. As a holistic-based therapist with a focus on a systems theory lens, I approach therapy by considering the entirety of the individual. Acknowledging the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, we will delve into multiple factors that can profoundly influence your overall health.

I help you get to the heart of your inner conflicts with questions like: What are the different parts of your personality? Why do you keep repeating the same patterns over and over? Why do you choose one emotional response over another? If you're experiencing addictive patterns (either to substances or behaviors), I can help you find autonomy even if you feel you're self-sabotaging. I am also adept at addressing men's issues, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Anyone who is committed to self-reflection will benefit from my non-pathologizing approach to emotional balance. I devote myself to easing a person into knowledge of their cognition, their character, and their life script so that they feel empowered to embrace themselves fully and edit their experience as they please. I have built a system of diagnostics that leads into health, rather than out of "illness." I support you in understanding the purpose of your pain. I know how many mental health appointments simply leave a person feeling that they have one more knot to undo, one more stuck point lingering. I offer you a new view of yourself that is based in holistic wisdom. You'll embrace the realities of your inner life from a place of resourcefulness and present-focused awareness.

Hi, I'm Morgan! I'm a Philly-based clinician with a background in Art Therapy & Counseling. I provide individual therapy to adults and adolescents with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, negative thinking, and struggles with self-esteem and body image. Therapy is a safe way to explore prominent themes of identity, relationships, and gain a deeper understanding of our internal experiences. As a queer clinician, I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals to explore prominent themes of identity while processing experiences with discrimination, gender dysphoria, questioning, and interpersonal conflicts. I apply an integrative approach based on the client’s individualized needs, implementing tenants of Art Therapy, Feminist Theory, Internal Family Systems Model, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (T-F CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I aim to create an open, warm, and non-judgmental environment while promoting insight and self-empowerment!

Hi, I'm Morgan! As a compassionate clinician with a background in Art Therapy and Counseling, I am dedicated to assisting children, adolescences, and families in resolving internal conflicts and promoting self-confidence.  Art Therapy is a safe way to explore prominent themes of identity, trauma, emotion regulation, and self-esteem. Art therapy interventions that promote creative expression can foster healing and mental well-being. No previous art experience is required as each session is about the process, not the product's quality. My art therapy specialization encourages collaboration, goal-setting, and focusing on individual strengths while acknowledging the challenges you hope to overcome. I specialize in working alongside individuals that have experienced various behavioral, emotional, and psychosocial circumstances. I have experience supporting LGBTQIA+ populations coping with complex trauma, suicidal ideations, and self-injurious behaviors. Individuals of all ages face interpersonal conflicts, and I aim to provide a comforting, warm, and non-judgmental environment promoting insight and self-empowerment.

I received my Masters in Social Work (MSW) in 1989 from New York University. I have experience working with adults and adolescents in school, psychiatric inpatient and outpatient settings. My clinical focus has been predominantly working with women with eating disorders and related issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, self esteem, identity and body image. My general approach is psychodynamic at it’s foundation. Over the course of my career, I have trained in several additional approaches that have also come to inform my work. I have training and experience in Family-Based Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Mindfulness Meditiation. I am a very active, engaged therapist who brings compassion and passion for the work. You will not just hear me asking, “how does that make you feel”. I will be actively providing insights and interpretations to help you to see that which you cannot on your own. Together, as a team, we partner to help you move beyond the “stuckness” that has brought you into therapy.
