Sometimes your usual ways of coping with stress and difficult situations stop working. This can leave you feeling ill-equipped to manage aspects of your life. As a result, you may be feeling sad, worried, scared, angry, and/or overwhelmed. I strive to help people better understand the nature of their problems and develop more effective ways to cope with them. I believe greater self-awareness, in combination with behavior changes, can lead to a richer and more satisfying life.

Psychotherapy is a powerful process that can alleviate suffering, increase self understanding and lead to greater fulfillment in life. My approach to therapy is compassionate and collaborative. I have over 20 years of experience helping people get relief of symptoms and lead fuller lives. I previously worked at the University of Pennsylvania, where I served a diverse population with a wide range of psychological difficulties. I bring into my current private practice a wealth of clinical experience, a rich and deep understanding of human nature and our innate struggles, and tools to grow and experience more joy in life.

If you're looking for support through a difficult time or are ready to shed unhelpful patterns and move in a new direction, we can work together to help you gain a greater sense of well-being, balance, control and connection. When anxiety, depression or other psychological issues are interfering with your goals, relationships, or enjoyment of life, I can help you develop resiliency, insight, and coping strategies so you can begin to make positive changes. Starting therapy can be challenging, and it is a sign of strength. I provide a compassionate, non-judgemental stance, where we are partners in the therapeutic relationship.

Sometimes life becomes too much for us to handle and we can’t think clearly. This can effect our day to day lives and may make us feel physically or emotionally drained. During our work together we can explore ways to manage feelings of anxiety and sadness, as well as assess unhealthy relationships and issues with communication. On top of our normal stressors we are dealing w feelings of isolation, loneliness, and health anxiety due to the Covid pandemic and it’s uncertainties. I am currently working with college aged students to help deal w their transition to either campus or virtual learning as well as anxieties related to Covid.

As a warm, interactive psychotherapist, I will help you gain insight and understanding in order to alleviate symptoms, enhance relationships, and manage stressors. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can safely express feelings and concerns, while working towards therapeutic goals. Together we can explore behavioral and relational patterns, and discover effective coping skills that best fit your needs. I work with adults, young adults, and teens, who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, insecurities, pregnancy, postpartum, and adjusting to change/life transitions.

I am an empathic, mature psychotherapist with more than 20 years of experience.

I take great care in fostering a safe, nonjudgmental, collaborative environment, with space to breathe and explore.
