Helping Individuals, Couples, and Teens Connect Better

Lens Therapy Mental Health in Ardmore

I work with individuals, couples, and teens who want more honest, connected, and meaningful relationships. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in repeating patterns—conflict that goes nowhere, conversations that shut down, or a growing sense of distance from the people they care about most. Even when the desire for change is strong, it can be difficult to understand why these patterns keep happening or how to shift them. My specialty is Relational Life Therapy (RLT), a direct yet compassionate approach that helps people move beyond blame, reactivity, and emotional shutdown. Rather than focusing only on problems, we look closely at the patterns that shape how you relate to others. Together we explore how past experiences and learned strategies influence the way you communicate, respond to conflict, and seek connection today. In therapy with me, you’ll find a warm, collaborative space that balances empathy with honesty. I believe meaningful change happens through relationship. Our work will focus on helping you regulate emotions, speak more openly and clearly, repair ruptures when conflict occurs, and move beyond survival patterns that keep you feeling disconnected. Over time, this process can lead to deeper self-understanding, healthier boundaries, and stronger relationships with the people who matter most. I work with individuals seeking personal growth, couples who want to strengthen communication and rebuild connection, and teenagers learning how to navigate emotions, identity, and relationships in an increasingly complex world. Therapy sessions are available in person in Suburban Square in Ardmore, as well as virtually for clients who prefer the convenience of meeting from home. My hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9:00 AM to 7:30 PM. If you’re curious about whether therapy might be helpful, I invite you to reach out. I offer a free 15-minute consultation where we can talk about your goals and see if working together feels like a good fit.

Brewtay Coffee

Seriously good coffee, without the serious attitude. Founded by a Wynnewood resident, Brewtay Coffee is an independent specialty coffee brand born out of a personal necessity to find balance in a hyper-connected world. We want to reframe coffee from being a frantic energy drink into a mindful, rejuvenating daily practice. It’s about taking five uninterrupted minutes for yourself to spark connection, fuel creativity, or just enjoy a moment of calm before the chaos of the day begins. Quality is our cornerstone. As proud members of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), we hold ourselves to the highest industry standards to ensure every bean we offer is truly specialty grade. From our signature Et Tu, Brewtay blend to our effortlessly smooth A Midsummer Night's Blend crafted for cold brew, we deliver a cafe-quality experience directly to your kitchen. We also proudly partner with Swiss Water® to ensure our decaf options are 100% chemical-free, preserving both the rich, natural flavor of the beans and your health. We firmly believe that personal wellness is intrinsically tied to planetary wellness. That's why we are members of 1% for the Planet. Furthermore, through our support of the Trees for Education Program, every pound of coffee sold funds the planting of one tree in Kenya. That tree is then leveraged in the International Carbon Market to directly fund children's education (we have funded over 6,250 trees to date!). Skip the pretense, join the Brewtay community, and let's do some good together. Do good, feel good, drink good. Et tu?

Kitchen design and cabinet dealer for 7 cabinet brands

Design Focused A traditional kitchen showroom focuses on sales. Main Line Kitchen Design focuses on design.

It’s how we’ve continued to grow our business by 25% each year since 2010, and why referrals from happy clients continue to bring us new opportunities to create beautiful, functional kitchens.
