During therapy consultations, most people say that they want a therapist who won't just sit there and nod at them. That makes a lot of sense to me. Starting with a new therapist takes a lot of courage and most of us wouldn't do it unless we need real help. Most hurt and trauma happens in our relationships with others and so you need to be able to trust that your therapist is with you. When.you talk with me in my office in E. Mt. Airy, you have my full attention. We'll make connections between what's happening now and what happened in your past experiences. We'll also work on feeling less shame and more safety.
I'm easy to sit with. I like people and I'm funny. My clients tell me that they feel like they can tell me anything. You won't learn too much about me personally but you'll know a lot about who I am because the therapeutic relationship is a big part of what heals us. That means that I'll have thoughts and reactions and I'll share them kindly and carefully.
Therapy helps people understand themselves more fully, which leads to stronger and more satisfying relationships—with partners, children, friends, and family. Many clients feel less shame, fear, and sadness as they begin to trust themselves more deeply. You deserve relief from the burdens you’ve been carrying, and I’d be honored to help.

I help couples struggling to communicate with clarity, care, and emotional safety—including high-conflict partners and those facing ongoing relational crises. In therapy, we slow down real conflicts, explore the attachment needs beneath them, and create space for connection, repair, and more honest communication.
