I help people who are tired of guessing. If you're overanalyzing everything, stuck in high-functioning anxiety, or trying to “fix” yourself with no real results, therapy might not need to be as mysterious as it’s felt before. I’m direct, practical, and focused on helping you understand what’s actually driving your patterns—so you can finally change them.

My approach blends depth with clarity. I don’t just sit and nod. I’ll teach you how your mind works, help you make sense of what you’re feeling, and challenge the narratives that keep you stuck. We’ll go beyond surface-level coping skills to look at what’s underneath—because real change isn’t just about managing symptoms.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, or just a vague sense that something isn’t working. If you want a therapist who cuts through the noise without cutting off empathy, I might be a good fit. I offer online therapy for clients in PA and CA. Reach out when you're ready.

I use a blend of Gestalt, trauma-informed, and existential approaches - grounded in deep pattern recognition and practical clarity. When it fits, I draw from mindfulness and personality theory to help you shift long-standing dynamics, not just surface thoughts.
