When I was a teenager, I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was pretty damn depressed and anxious—and eventually diagnosed with an eating disorder. I spent years denying it, though it was obvious to those around me. That’s when I met my first therapist. I fought her tooth and nail, but she persisted—gentle yet direct, caring without being overbearing. I’m a very different kind of therapist than she was, but the part of her that stuck with me was her steady, patient presence. That persistence helped me take my next step, and it’s something I carry into my work now.

I am a certified EMDR & trauma therapist available online and in-person in Center City Philadelphia.
Trauma. We all experience it at some point in our lives. It’s that thing that keeps you up at night. The thing that you distract yourself from by working extra hours, scrolling endlessly on Tik-Tok, self-harm, addiction, codependency. We run, fight, freeze, fawn, shut-down. Our bodies are built to adapt to the stress in our lives but what happens when the stress is too much? When we run into obstacles like bullying, abuse, illness, separation, loss, disasters? What happens when there is no one to witness our pain? We forget about the parts of ourselves that are creative, brave, intuitive, funny, smart, kind, gentle, strong.

If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure where to turn, you’re not alone. So much of being human involves longing for closeness and understanding, and therapy can be a place to find your way back to both. As your therapist, my goal is to help you feel free from judgment and grounded in the possibility of real change. I work from an experiential and attachment-based approach, helping you not only understand what’s happening but experience new ways of relating to yourself and others. As a queer, biracial, and neurodivergent therapist, my work is rooted in lived experience and grounded in compassion.

Accepting new clients! I help people overcome difficulty and use it to grow and pursue a life of meaning and purpose. Sometimes we start by treating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, career, or LGBTQ+ and other identity issues, and over time turn to deeper issues about the life you want to create, your identity, and your values. I’m a humanistic counselor, which means I’ll never tell you what to do and I’ll always empower you to make the choice that’s best for you. I use a collaborative, gentle approach that helps you connect with your intuitive sense of self and your intrinsic motivation to grow and do difficult things.

I offer both in-person and virtual therapy.
My ideal clients are individuals and couples who feel stuck in repetitive patterns—arguments that go nowhere, moments of distance that feel confusing, or dynamics shaped by ADHD, betrayal, or unmet needs. They may love each other deeply yet feel misunderstood, unheard, or unsure how to move forward. They want clarity, trust, and a way to communicate that actually connects rather than escalates. Most of all, they want to understand themselves and their partner more fully so they can build a relationship that feels secure, honest, and aligned with their values.

It is hard being a person. We often engage in patterns of feeling, thought and action that reliably lead to suffering. These patterns arise in response to difficult and even traumatic experiences. They made good sense at some point, but now get in the way, causing anxiety, depression, shame and frustration. I work with people to bring increased awareness to the human potential caught up in old patterns, and via that awareness, to an enhanced sense of choice and self confidence and ease. My work draws on your wisdom, as well as my own.

Every conversation makes a difference. The differences may be subtle or they can be life-changing. I work in a direct and warm manner, creating an environment that is dynamic and safe. The therapeutic relationship is a very important one and can provide the basis for navigating through difficult life transitions, improving communication skills, healing from a loss, or exploring possibilities for enhancing one's life.

I offer in person and virtual therapy to individuals and couples for anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions.
I specialize in navigating relationships during the perinatal period and building a fulfilling sexual connection, which often go hand in hand. Relationships are an intricate dance of personalities, histories, responsibilities, and desires, not to mention broader cultural influences and the decision to have children, conception, pregnancy, and the postpartum period can highlight and intensify these similarities and differences. I help couples and individuals to explore what is most important to them and how those values can guide their life choices and be integrated with those of their partner.

I am currently offering both online and in-person sessions.
People often come to therapy with a precise problem to address and sometimes people come to therapy with a general sense that they are not living their lives in a way that feels right or true. Whatever your reason, therapy is an opportunity to understand and change painful patterns, to treat a mental health disorder, to heal from previous trauma, to process the impact of oppression or marginalization, to mobilize oneself when feeling “stuck," and so, so much more. Whatever your reason for seeking treatment, I believe that therapy can help you create a life that holds more joy, connection, and purpose.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
