Partners in Your Healing & Growth

At Totum Counseling, we don’t just teach the importance of connection—we live it. As experienced social workers and longtime friends, we know firsthand that the right relationship can be a powerful catalyst for change.

Our practice was born from a shared belief in the Whole Self. The word Totum is Latin for "whole," and it represents our commitment to helping you integrate your mind, heart, and body to achieve true emotional well-being.

Your Compassionate Guides

We are here to provide more than just clinical expertise; we are here to offer a safe, honest space for you to rediscover yourself. We understand that past hurts—especially those from family, friends, or partners—can leave you feeling fragmented. Our goal is to help you:

  • Listen to Your Intuition: Reconnect your "gut feeling" with your emotional needs.

  • Heal Past Wounds: Process relationship trauma in a space where your response is always valid.

  • Speak Your Truth: Gain the confidence to identify and ask for what you need in your relationships.

From Classmates to Co-Founders

Our partnership began years ago at Eastern University. Having navigated our professional journeys alongside one another, we opened Totum Counseling to bring our shared vision of holistic, connection-based healing to Southeastern Pennsylvania.. We’ve seen how supportive relationships can transform lives, and we are honored to be part of that support system for you.

You deserve a life that feels whole, peaceful, and aligned. Whether you are seeking clarity, healing, or a deeper connection with yourself and others, we are here to support you every step of the way.
