Cancer Therapists in Philadelphia, PA
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially after relationships where trust or safety was lost. I offer a steady, compassionate space where you don’t have to perform or have everything figured out. At The Relational Space I work with individuals and couples navigating relational trauma, attachment injuries, and breakup pain—especially the kind that lingers after emotionally significant connections end or become confusing. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and slow on purpose, prioritizing safety, consent, and nervous system regulation. Healing happens through curiosity, honesty, and a trusting relationship.

I offer online psychotherapy to teens and adults eager to grow and reach their full potential. I have worked successfully with clients throughout the lifespan, addressing the challenges of each stage of life - becoming independent, choosing a career, building and ending relationships, pregnancy, parenting, and aging. I help my clients address the painful experiences of depression, anxiety, grief and loss, infertility, caring for a sick or aging loved one, trauma, and body image/disordered eating.

I specialize in working with adults and emerging adults from diverse racial, social, financial, sexual, and gender backgrounds who may also have experience navigating systems that were not designed for their success. In our work together, I aim to create a space where your experiences of depression, anxiety, loneliness, unworthiness, guilt, or shame are met with understanding rather than judgment. Instead of viewing these feelings as something “wrong,” we’ll honor the strengths that have supported your survival and gently explore what may no longer be serving you, allowing room for healing and growth.

I’ve published and presented internationally on mindfulness, meaning, identity, post-traumatic growth, cancer, and happiness.
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.

People come to therapy with complicated feelings. For some, it's a welcome opportunity to share thoughts and feelings that might not feel okay to share elsewhere. Others might view therapy as a humiliating defeat, a sign that they have failed to "solve the problem" alone. I have worked with people at both ends of this spectrum and those in between. In spite of the range of attitudes that mark one's entrance into therapy, my experience tells me that those who give therapy a genuine chance to help them will be helped. This is true even for the most reluctant of beginners.

People come to treatment for a variety of reasons.I view each person as unique and strive to assist individuals to overcome challenges and meet the goals that are important in their lives. As we work to let go of behaviors, thoughts and feelings that are not useful in the present, new healthier patterns can emerge and be adopted. Treatment is always focused on achieving a greater sense of comfort and satisfaction, psychologically, emotionally physically and spiritually.

Coming from a six year background in health education and medical case management, I have come to understand that our bodies and minds don’t always serve us the way we would like them to. I rely on this knowledge to explore psychosomatic connections in the therapeutic space, while honoring how trauma or disconnect presents itself. Whether you find yourself confronting relationship difficulties or trauma, struggling with emotions surrounding major life changes, or bearing the burden of societal pressures on who you should be or how you should look; I offer a safe space to show up bravely.

Many people I work with are navigating mood issues, gender-related concerns, emotional distress, or are generally unhappy in life and are not sure how to feel better. They may feel stuck in patterns of thought or behavior, unsure of how to move forward. They want a therapist who is thoughtful and collaborative, someone who can help them reflect deeply while also offering tools to make meaningful change in their lives.

As a cancer survivor more than eight years in remission, I've experienced what it's like to start completely anew.
Chronic illness, chronic pain, depression, or anxiety. Each of these have their own way of zapping our energy and enjoyment in life. These culprits tell us lies about ourselves and keep us from living our greatest potential. Maybe you've been faced with unforeseen circumstances, this is not the life you envisioned, and you're left wondering where to begin. It's hard to tell if or when you're making progress because life just doesn't look the same as it used to and you're left comparing yourself to others.
