You may know exactly why you react the way you do—yet in the moment, your body still goes into anxiety, shutdown, overwhelm, or the same painful relationship cycle. I work with adults and couples who want to move beyond understanding their patterns and create change they can actually feel. I especially support people navigating trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and intergenerational patterns.
My approach is somatic, relational, and trauma-informed. We bring mindful attention to emotions, body sensations, and nervous-system responses, moving at a pace that feels right for each client’s pace. Drawing from Hakomi, Somatic Experiencing, mindfulness, attachment and family therapy, I help clients develop greater flexibility, self-compassion and choice.
Therapy with me is collaborative and curious—not about forcing you to become someone else. I offer in-person therapy in Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, and telehealth throughout Pennsylvania. If this approach resonates, I offer a free 20-minute phone or video consultation to talk about what brings you in and whether working together feels like a good fit.

I use a holistic approach tailored to each client's needs. My first priority is to create a safe space for you to be who you are, explore your needs and what's standing in the way. We may work on building your nervous system capacity before deepening into past hurts, core beliefs and stories about self and the world. I help you make sense of your life, heal trauma, and follow your life's calling.
