About

Did you ever watch Boy Meets World growing up? If yes, skip the next two sentences. If no, then let me set the scene. A 90’s sitcom about the wholesome, suburban Philadelphia Matthews family, who have two teenage sons. The older brother, Eric, bonks his younger brother, Cory, in the forehead and says “Life’s tough, get a helmet.” While I don’t condone violence, I do agree that life can be tough sometimes. While wearing a helmet is beneficial in a lot of scenarios (i.e. riding a bike), it is not so beneficial in the emotional, social, psychological, or theoretical realms. View 4 Photos In reality, Eric’s statement probably should have been “Life’s tough. Get a therapist”. It would have set Cory up for success, and enabled him to overcome life’s challenges with coping skills, empathy, and support. That is where I come in. I am a strengths-based therapist, with an affinity for creativity and the arts.
