Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand? Therapy can help you gain clarity and build tools for change. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, stress, and relationship challenges. I offer a compassionate, goal-oriented space where we identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop new ways of responding. Together, we’ll identify patterns, strengthen coping skills, and create more effective ways of responding. I specialize in trauma-sensitive CBT, integrating mindfulness and meditation to support lasting, meaningful change.

I received clinical counseling training at the University of Pennsylvania, hold a Ph.D. in Psychology with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and am a Nationally Certified Counselor. In addition to CBT, I am trained in complementary approaches, including meditation and yoga, which I integrate when appropriate to help clients manage stress.

I understand that starting therapy can feel like a big step. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, collaborative approach to healing and growth, I’d be glad to work with you.
