I also have extensive experience working with people who have autism or an intellectual disability, as well as providing support to their family members.
The experience of sharing stories, and feeling seen & heard in a safe space can be transformative. I draw from several evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, and Strength Based Therapy. Beyond the traditional modalities, I take a holistic approach with each client and believe in the power of integrating emotional, physical, social and spiritual wellbeing.

I specialize in strength-based psychodynamic therapy with children and teenagers. Many young people struggle with feeling big enough to hold all their feelings, values, relationships, and dreams. My approach focuses on helping children to recognize and draw from their own well of inner strength while also honoring their needs—and figuring out what to do next. As a therapist, I am warm, creative, and collaborative, using the therapy room as a safe practice space that ultimately encourages outside confidence and connection.

I specialize in strength-based psychodynamic therapy. Many of us struggle with balancing all our feelings, obligations, values, and dreams; we feel trapped, or we shut down the parts of ourselves that don’t fit. And yet, our lives are not only our experiences and identities, but the meanings we make of them. Together, we can unfold the rich stories of your life to make room for your whole self, building on your strengths while honoring your needs—and creating new possibilities for the road ahead.

Kids are under enormous pressure at home, in school and with peers. These pressures can present themselves in many ways -- as childhood anxiety, adolescent depression, or school behavioral problems. My focus is on making your child feel heard, while providing them with a tool belt of coping mechanisms that can be accessed whenever they are feeling overwhelmed. Your child will build self-esteem along with practical emotional awareness and regulation skills that can be incorporated into their daily lives.

Hi there! Do you often find yourself navigating a world that wasn’t built with you in mind? Maybe you're feeling stretched thin, exhausted by masking, or simply craving space to breathe and be. Are you seeking a place to explore identity, gender, sexuality, or kink without judgment or pressure to explain? As someone who grew up queer and neurodivergent in a small conservative town, I know how vital affirming support is. I co-create spaces rooted in compassion, authenticity, and curiosity especially for LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, and sex positive folks so you can show up fully and be held just as you are.

As a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) and a Registered Drama Therapist (RDT), in New York and Philadelphia, I believe that creativity is essential to the journey towards self-discovery and transformation. I explore patterns that may no longer be serving you, while highlighting the parts of self that are adaptive. I work with adolescents and adults who have been impacted by trauma, anxiety, infertility/loss, perinatal/postpartum, relationship issues, learning differences, and the artists journey. I'm queer affirming, and work from an anti- oppressive/ trauma informed lens.
