I believe that healing often occurs best in the context of a safe and trusting relationship between a client and therapist. As a psychotherapist, I strive to create a secure, caring, and collaborative relationship with each of my clients so that therapy is a place they feel fully seen, heard, understood, and respected. I work from an integrative and holistic perspective, meeting each client where they are and working collaboratively with clients to reach their own personal goals and to create lasting, meaningful change and healing in their lives.

*While I am currently not accepting new clients, I am available for LPC supervision.* As a licensed professional counselor and board-certified music therapist, I collaborate with individuals and couples to cultivate increased self-awareness and self-acceptance while building tools to better cope with life’s challenges. I believe that each of us deserves to develop a rich, full understanding of ourselves. While the process of self-inquiry can be challenging, I hold the space to safely explore aspects of self that might feel uncomfortable, with the goal of building a positive, authentic relationship with yourself and others.

Stress and difficulties can occur throughout the lifespan. I provide client-centered therapy to support wellness in older children and teens, families, and adults, both individually and as couples. Therapy can be a space to develop your strengths and resilience to cope. Together, we can address issues that are getting in the way of feeling satisfied or fulfilled in your life. My areas of clinical interest include anxiety, stress, depression, identity, connection, and trauma. I also facilitate social anxiety groups.

No matter the reason you are seeking help, you may have the sense that now is the time to begin. Therapy can help you learn more about yourself, establish goals, and work towards improving your well-being. In my practice, I approach psychotherapy with an empathic drive to help people understand themselves more deeply. I embrace a balance between targeting the immediate problem and providing space to build a relationship with my clients grounded in trust, openness, and flexibility.

Anxiety and trauma can be overwhelming and keep people from enjoying their lives. The therapeutic relationship is a unique partnership and is the most important place to start this journey. We are two individuals with the common goal of improving how you feel and live. I use an individualized approach, drawing from varied therapeutic practices to meet your specific needs. I specialize in treating anxiety, trauma, and addictive behaviors. Other areas of focus include depression, PNES, grief and loss, communication, and self-esteem.

I offer holistic therapy support for adolescents and adults looking to heal, grow and find peace. If you’re ready to stop the endless loop of anxiety and “what if” scenarios, then we might be a great match. Do you ever feel like you’re on the boat to Catastrophe Island? That place where you are anxious, overwhelmed, and like you don’t know up from down? If yes, it sounds like you’re ready to stop overthinking every situation and live your life with joy and ease. Let’s work together to reclaim your inner knowing, find your voice, and get out of your own way. Thank yourself for taking this difficult first step in healing!

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist that works collaboratively with individuals, couples and families. I have a special interest in working with adolescents and young adults going through transitional periods (i.e., school, new job, college, new relationship, etc.). My goal is to improve family dynamics, address intrusive issues, thoughts, and aim to improve the relationship with yourself and/or others. My training allows me to assist my clients in grounding their innate ability to feel more in charge of their life. This is done through having the ability to identify and express one’s feelings, needs and desires.

Do you find yourself struggling with anxiety, negative patterns, feeling stuck in your daily life, or maybe you have past memories and experiences that are still affecting you today? Is your anxiety keeping you from doing the things you want to do? If so, you are in the right place. I offer a safe and inclusive environment to acquire new tools to manage and calm your anxious mind, gain perspective on past traumas, and learn how to undo negative patterns that are keeping you stuck. Anxiety can be debilitating, let's work together to make lasting changes to help you live your most fulfilling and satisfying life.

"Does this support the life I am trying to create?" is a question I ask myself daily. It is important to me that our therapeutic relationship fosters a safe, accepting, and collaborative space by exploring resilience, strengths, and informed curiosity. I strive to facilitate self-empowerment and self-efficacy through adaptive coping/behavioral skills, strengthening cognitive insight, while honoring that change is hard when life gets rough. My work with individuals who have felt unheard and invalidated has led me to conceptualize concerns related to eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and substance use as closely intertwined.

Many people choose to enter therapy to gain a deeper understanding of themselves – their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in addition to problems in their interpersonal relationships.  Oftentimes, the issues we face in the present stem from painful experiences in the past.  As a result of these experiences, we develop ways of coping in the world – some continue to serve us well and others may get in the way of us living a more fulfilling life. I offer a warm, non-judgmental, and safe environment for exploration, healing, and growth.

Does any of this resonate with you? You feel anxious, depressed, or up and down with your emotions. You are going through a life transition trying to figure out the feelings that come along with it. You’ve been told you are “too sensitive.” Maybe you are struggling with your sexual identity or sexual orientation and would like a nonjudgmental space where you can explore LGBTQ-related issues. You have struggled with anxiety and/or depression for a while and have tried different things but it’s not helping.

You’re feeling worried, sad, stuck and unsure of your next step. Breathe. I can help you build a compassionate and healthy relationship with yourself and others. You likely seem okay to others when you are truly suffering inside. You’re seeking therapy to heal and set a foundation for a meaningful and well balanced life. I specialize in helping young adults process pain, develop awareness, self-compassion and make aligned choices. My practice is affirming of all identities and I work collaboratively with clients to make sense of their experience. I’m here to support you prioritize yourself, your values, and enjoy more of life today.

Living with anxiety and depression can be overwhelming. It may feel like fear is taking over your life and keeping you from some of the things you enjoy and value most. I prioritize creating a safe environment and trusting therapeutic relationship with clients. Our work together will emphasize your values, strengths, and goals to develop a collaborative plan to re-engage with life. I specialize in working with clients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and the full spectrum of anxiety disorders, including BFRB's (trichotillomania/skin picking). I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

I help people identify and understand their strengths and use those strengths to help them feel ready to make changes and take action. In a supportive space, I get to know you and how your brain works. I think we need to accept ourselves, forgive ourselves for past mistakes, and embrace our current stressors as challenges to navigate and move through. I believe that we need to understand our thought processes to answer the following: Why do we think the way we do? Why do we hyper-focus on some things but then have trouble focusing on other tasks? Why can't we quiet our minds and tune out from our worries?

Accepting clients in Philadelphia and CA. Have you been feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed and alone? Do you find that your mind and emotions control you? Are you stuck in repetitive patterns? I work with people who suffer with these symptoms and I have over 17 years of experience treating depression, addictions, anxiety and eating disorders.

Everyone deserves a chance to improve their mental, emotional, and spiritual health, and compulsive, addictive behaviors impede those chances. Learning how to bring recovery tools and principles into your daily life can help start the healing process. With over 17 years of experience working with men who struggle with alcohol, drug, gambling, and compulsive sexual behaviors and 20 years as an educator, I can help you move towards the life you always wanted.

As a clinician, my hopes are to create a safe, honest, collaborative space for folx to feel empowered to face the complex obstacles that may have them feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I regularly encourage activities outside of session as means to continue growth, practice learned knowledge, and to further establish empowerment within oneself and the systems you live in. I welcome anyone who is seeking therapy.

I believe one of the bravest things we can do is to understand our story. Owning our story can bring us to self-acceptance and healing. I can help get you there. Do you feel like you’re hitting a wall? Feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns? Stuck in your past trauma? Bad relationships? You deserve more than the anger and hurt that you’re carrying with you each day. These walls you’re hitting can be broken down. We just need to take a few steps back, and face these walls together. Come in, and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea (on me) and let’s talk about it.
