I offer therapy sessions online on Monday and Tuesday and in person on Wednesday and Thursday.
You may be feeling stuck—trapped in patterns that no longer serve you, weighed down by anxiety, or struggling to find a sense of connection and peace. Maybe difficult experiences from the past still linger, or relationships feel difficult to navigate. You don’t have to figure this out alone. Healing is possible, and it starts with a space where you can be fully seen, heard, and supported.
Whether you're working through general anxiety and depression, struggling with low self-worth, or untangling challenges around intimacy, infidelity, or sexual identity, I bring a compassionate, affirming, and direct approach.

I offer therapy via video and am available some mornings and a few evenings throughout the week, as well as Saturdays.
We all carry heavy burdens, such great pain, and take for granted both what we hold as well as our ability to heal. I utilize a strengths-based approach to help you help yourself, to put yourself first, and to support you in changing your behaviors that feel more aligned with your goals and values. More than anything, I want to help you cultivate joy and align with a version of yourself that you're proud of.

I have early morning and daytime availability and am currently only offering telehealth.
I work with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship distress. I understand how trauma, childhood attachment, family of origin dynamics, and our social/cultural/political systems underly many of these struggles. And I know how these painful experiences can disconnect you from yourself, your loved ones, and the joys of life. Together, we will explore the patterns that keep you stuck, understand their roots, and learn to respond to them differently. Our work will help you restore a sense of agency and reconnection to your authentic, grounded Self that's innate to us all.

I am a relational therapist who emphasizes a social justice approach to my work. I believe that to truly, deeply understand ourselves, we must look at the larger context within which we operate. In the therapy room, I strive to support you as you explore your own history and identity with curiosity, warmth, and care. I apply a trauma-informed lens to provide affirming care, as I believe that a respectful, supportive relationship is a key aspect of facilitating growth and self-acceptance. I am especially effective at working with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and ASD, alongside life transitions and gender and sexuality explorations.

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.

This facilitates human-to-human understanding that can help us work together toward your goals with care and clarity, whether that involves change, growth, exploration, or acceptance.

Are you in a relationship that feels unsatisfying or one sided and results in a sense of feeling stuck in a cycle that repeats itself? Have you experienced a sad loss or other emotionally painful experience that still hurts even though you feel like you should be "over it?"

My work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and connection. I come to clinical social work with a deeply held belief that all people are deserving of care and I have seen how a safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship can offer support when care has been challenged. I know that part of healing means acknowledging and working beyond the systems that have caused harm and that this involves actively employing an anti-oppressive lens that refuses to pathologize trauma survival. I understand my clients are the experts on their experiences and I am committed to creating a practice that affirms people of all backgrounds.

Sometimes, everyone feels held hostage by their racing thoughts, intrusive memories, impulsive behaviors, depressed mood or existential dread. Sound familiar?

I believe that you are the expert on your own life and together, we will work to identify what has you feeling stuck and find creative solutions that fit your needs.

If you’re struggling with issues like identity, anxiety, boundary-setting, or people-pleasing, you’re not alone. You may feel torn between expectations, unsure of how to prioritize your needs, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. My main priority is to provide a space to feel understood, validated, and supported—a place where you can explore your true self without fear of judgment. As an immigrant myself, I understand the challenges with navigating these inner conflicts while finding a sense of balance and authenticity.

I understand that pain exists as both a physical and psychological experience, and true healing addresses both dimensions. I combine somatic psychotherapy with evidence-based approaches from Psychophysiologic theory and Pain Reprocessing Therapy to create an integrative, full-body oriented plan for recovery. We'll create a treatment plan that prioritizes growth and healing at a pace that is manageable for you and your nervous system. We’ll implement tools for you that provide relief in the day to day as well as the long term. Safety is the priority when we're working together.

I offer virtual sessions for clients in PA, MA, and VT as well as ecotherapy sessions in Philadelphia-area parks and trails.
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.

Online Therapists
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
