I help clients navigate mood disorders, anxiety, grief, chronic illness, stress, trauma, substance use, and other life challenges. I also work with individuals looking to enhance their performance (career, academic, athletic, etc). I am an LGBTQ+ Allied therapist and I also love working with the international community. I embrace clients from diverse backgrounds and faith traditions, and try to help clients find meaning from life's trials. I honor clients' unique stories and help them to build resilience and coping skills for the journey ahead.

My therapy focuses on you and your needs. My job is not to tell you what to do, but to walk alongside you on your journey, making you aware of and exploring things that may hinder your success. I am trauma-informed and feel that past experiences heavily impact how we navigate the world currently. Personal identity also plays a significant role in our lives and sometimes affects mental health. The client-therapist relationship is extremely important and it is my job to build trust, so you feel comfortable being completely open and honest in a non-judgmental session so positive change can occur.

I view my work as supporting bodies in transition - in whatever form that comes. Many of my clients face the impact that physical change has on their mental and emotional well-being through illness, life-transitions, and loss. I hold space for the experience of medical trauma; chronic, progressive, and advanced illness; chronic pain; birthing bodies; end-of-life care, and grief. Transitions show up throughout our daily lives - not just the big moments. I also work with neurodivergence, depression, anxiety and relationship concerns to address the needs of the whole person and find creative approaches to authentic self-expression.

There are many reasons one might seek therapy. Some look for help when they are feeling overwhelmed by events in their lives, such as the end of an important relationship or a challenging medical diagnosis. Others come because they have a persistent sense of suffering they do not fully understand or that has been difficult to resolve. If you feel you are not living your life as fully as you would like, or if you are dissatisfied, stressed, or unhappy, it is worth understanding and addressing.

Many people I work with are navigating anxiety, emotional distress, or are generally overwhelmed or 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 help make meaningful change in their lives.

I believe that we all struggle with trauma, and most mental health challenges stem from how one adapts to these experiences. I specialize in working with trauma, identifying how it is held in the body, the strategies we uphold as defense mechanisms, and how to negotiate with our inner self to move toward a healthy healing of mind and body. Coming from either a top down approach for those thinker types, or a bottom up approach for those feeler types, we will compassionately reconnect the mind and body, in order to achieve relief and greater connectivity to self and others.

I view psychotherapy as the ultimate practice of self-care. Sessions are a time to explore your inner self, your outer relationships, and evaluate how your past and present influence your future. I approach treatment with an existential, intersectional feminist, and person-centered lens – this means I consider gender, race, class, sexuality, belief, biology, ability, physicality, and life experiences during our work together.

I am a depth psychologist practicing in Pennsylvania and remotely in 36 states via PsyPact. It may be that an external life event has left you feeling disoriented or, perhaps, you are confronted by an inner feeling of emptiness or agitation that is difficult to ignore. The common thread of suffering runs through all of our lives. Symptoms, and other manifestations of our psychological life, contain an important message. Deciphering the symbols of the psyche, via thoughts, feelings, memories, dreams and lived experience, allows us to lead a more balanced and meaningful life.

If you’re struggling with relationship anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or unhealthy patterns that keep repeating, you may feel stuck no matter how much insight you have. Many of my clients deal with overthinking, fear of abandonment, communication issues, or difficulty letting go after a breakup. I work with adults who want to understand their emotional reactions, improve communication, and build more secure, stable relationships. Together, we identify patterns, regulate emotions, and create real, lasting change.

I am a passionate mental health advocate and community organizer who believes healing happens in relationship, with ourselves, our bodies, our communities, and others. My work is relational and grounded in the mind–body connection, family systems, and self-compassion. Through my work in food access, I see food as a foundation of mental health. I understand nourishment as something that connects us to our bodies, our families, our communities, and our cultural experiences, and I hold these connections as central to wellbeing and care.

Deeply passionate about social justice and facilitating and guiding positive change and development in the lives of others, I am thrilled to connect with you as you begin your journey inward. Healing is truly the risk of showing up for yourself and your resistance to temptation to go back to unsilenced needs, numbing out, disconnection, and erasure. As a black, gender non-binary Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have a personal stake and insight into the work I do. My clinical practice aims to empower and heal individuals, families & communities through therapy, consulting, supervision, and training.

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.
