Hello! Thanks for looking at my profile. Feel free to send a message if you'd like to schedule a free 30 minute consult. Finding a good fit is so important in choosing a therapist. The relationship is critical. I work with adolescents and adults, specializing in women , girls, and queer, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender and nonbinary folks. I practice decolonizing and liberation focused therapy. My areas of focus include sexuality and trauma. I consider myself a client centered, relational, and culturally sensitive psychotherapist. I am board certified in teletherapy. I am licensed in Pennsylvania and Delaware.

Through cognitive behavioral methods and family of origin and attachment work, I empower women to take bold risks that transform past hurts into future masterpieces, dreams into accomplished goals, and self-doubt into undefeated confidence.
You are in a season of transition and you feel stuck in knowing what is the “right” step to take first. Overthinking is causing anxiety and self doubt has you questioning your value. You no longer want to allow comparisons and the worry of disappointing others stop you from living your life on your terms. You know you want more for yourself. You acknowledge that you deserve more. More fulfillment, joy, meaningful connections, and satisfaction. You are ready to unapologetically live your best life as your authentic self.

I am a queer white cis- woman and try to sit humbly with the way power and privilege shapes my lens.
I believe in helping my clients feel at ease. However you show up, whatever parts of yourself you bring, are welcome in our sessions. Trauma, depression, anxiety–all of these feelings can be difficult to bear and can create shame. It is most important to me that my clients feel they can share their complexities, shame and all. I believe you have what you need to heal yourself, but healing can be most effective in relationship. I believe social justice is inextricable from mental health. I practice with the belief that mental “illness” is a valid response to our oppressive and broken society

I support women like you to reconnect with themselves using my training in creative arts and drama therapy to help you resolve these inner conflicts in new ways.
You have been trying your best to make things work for your life, but it seems too difficult because nothing seems to be changing. You feel sad about where you are in life and unsure as to what will happen in your future. The thought of not knowing what to do makes you feel depressed. You fear you will never get what you want, and often question if you are doing something wrong. You are always tired and overwhelmed with everything happening around you and all you want is to feel happy, peaceful, and worthy of love and feel confident in doing so.

I also specialize in helping infertility patients, pregnant women , new parents (adjusting to new parenthood and postpartum depression), and women who have suffered pregnancy loss.
In my practice, I encounter people who enter psychotherapy for many reasons - from general issues, including depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem, to specific problems such as family conflict and difficulty reaching career goals. Because individuals’ problems often arise in their interpersonal environments, my goal is to provide a safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship in which you feel understood, supported, and respected as an important aspect of helping you to feel better.

I have a direct, interpersonal style in which I support and assist individuals in meeting their personal goals while helping them to process past and present issues related to trauma, child abuse/neglect, addiction(s), grief and loss, depression, or anxiety that may be interfering with their progress. I approach my clinical practice from a socially conscious perspective, working always to view personal difficulties within the sociocultural context in which we live.

I offer holistic therapy to help women escape the veil of anxiety and live with authenticity. Clients I work with struggle with complex emotions. Despite being intelligent, hard-working, and having a witty sense of humor, life isn’t all rainbows and sunshine. When they first come to see me, they are exhausted by the never ending loop of “what if” scenarios and often find themselves trying to be perfect or pretend that they "have it all together." If you’re ready to drop anxiety and find self-compassion, I'm your gal. We will work together in reclaiming your inner knowing, finding your voice, and living your most authentic life.

As a person whose experiences and identities do not fit neatly into categories, I have encountered the challenges of navigating a society that operates on the assumption that ‘one size fits all’ works for everyone. I strive to create a different kind of space in my therapeutic approach. I view therapy as a collaborative process, recognizing that each unique individual requires different kinds of support, which can change over time. I am a multiracial (half white and half Japanese), cisgender, queer woman , with an immigrant parent and firsthand understanding of the complexities of navigating a multicultural family.

I specialize in areas relating to the female body, including fertility, somatic issues, eating disorders, and the experiences of being a mother and a daughter.
What often brings people to therapy are troubles with unknown parts of themselves. I strive to create a warm, collaborative experience through which to encounter and more deeply understand these dimensions. I’ve found it is through this understanding that one can move from suffering toward a more expansive sense of possibility.

How can I find a therapist in Philadelphia?

Search for nearby therapists or counselors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or zip code; or a provider’s name into the search bar. From there, you can filter providers by the issues they treat, cost, insurance, gender, and other factors to find providers who are well-suited to your needs. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
