Grief Therapists in Philadelphia, PA
You may feel stuck in survival mode, carrying the effects of complex trauma (C-PTSD), childhood sexual abuse, or long-unresolved grief.
Together, we begin to slow down, listen to the body, and bring gentle awareness to the emotions and patterns that have been running the show. When we meet what’s inside us with presence instead of judgment, deep healing and self-trust naturally unfold.

I work with clients who struggle with relationships, self-worth, grief, trauma, anxiety, etc.
Exploring the deepest parts of ourselves or sitting with the heaviest feelings is daunting. But to do so, and to create something new from it, is liberating. Therapy offers a space to connect with all parts of yourself and move toward authenticity. I believe our work together can be a step toward not just coping, but creating a life that feels full. In our sessions, we’ll dive into the unknown together. I believe that lasting change can take place when we create a space that challenges us without compromising self-compassion. I will walk with you toward this transformative self-compassion in the moments it feels hardest to access.

I specialize in mood disorders (such as depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder), relationship and peer issues, grief and loss and stressful life transitions.
Often people find themselves to be stuck or unhappy and they don't know how they got there. Or maybe there is a specific problem you're dealing with and you need an outside perspective and unbiased help working through it and getting back to a more comfortable and productive place. Sometimes it's helpful to just have a safe space to share what's going on inside your head. I consider therapy a natural and helpful extension of your regular daily life. My hope is that sessions with me are conversations and explorations into what you think about and what you want for yourself and your relationships.

Do you feel as though you are living in a constant state of unhappiness—waking each day feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from joy? Perhaps you find yourself functioning on the outside while struggling internally, unsure of how to break free from stress, anxiety, unresolved trauma, or persistent self-doubt. If so, you are not alone—and you do not have to navigate it alone.

I work with teens, young adults, and middle-adult women who may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or the constant balancing act of everyday life. Many of the people I support are navigating big transitions, starting careers, managing family responsibilities, redefining relationships, or figuring out who they are in this next phase of life. If you often find yourself overthinking, feeling emotionally drained, or wondering how everyone else seems to “have it together,” you are definitely not alone and you don’t have to sort it out by yourself.

I specialize in working with highly sensitive and empathic adults navigating grief, trauma, and relationship challenges.
You feel deeply, care deeply, and give deeply — often more than you have to spare. You’re the one people turn to for support, yet inside you may feel drained, anxious, or disconnected from your own needs. You want to set better boundaries and find balance, but worry that doing so will disappoint others.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and nothing about you is “too much.” Your sensitivity, empathy, and intuition are strengths that can guide you toward healing and wholeness. In our work together, I offer a nurturing, supportive space where you can begin to reconnect with yourself and your inner wisdom.
