There are people who the rest of the world thinks are doing great (or were, until some life-altering change occurred)—people who are giving so much and trying so hard. But somehow it’s never enough.

If this describes you, let's talk. My clients tend to be people who care for others, like teachers, activists, nurses and clergy. However, I also work with a lot of people who are just overwhelmed by the state of the world.

I welcome those who are skeptical about therapy. It is very important to me to be affirming of all genders and expressions, and to be an active anti-racist ally.

I am curious and validating, providing a nurturing environment to talk openly and honestly about your struggles, strengths, weaknesses, needs, likes, and dislikes. I love helping people explore their unique and particular powers as well as how these powers impact their world and their relationships. As a passionate supporter of those who have been through unjust or otherwise traumatic experiences--including those experiencing discrimination based upon race or gender identity or sexual orientation--I am particularly interested in helping people gain skills for dealing with, and making sense of, the remnants of their pasts.

Having completed Bessel Van der Kolk's Trauma Research Foundation's Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies in early 2025, I have a strong foundational understanding of the most cutting edge approaches to treating trauma. I am also comfortable using a combination of approaches, including Psychodynamic, Gestalt, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I received an MSW from the University of Pennsylvania, a psychodynamically focused program, after which I completed Bryn Mawr's certificate program in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have also completed 1 year of Gestalt Therapy training and the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Immersion Program.

As an LCSW, my training emphasized the role of social environment--from the family to society at large--in how we construct our narratives, enabling me to help you make sense of what in your life is yours to own and what is a product of your environment.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who helps adults navigate life’s pressures with more clarity and balance. I have a special passion for supporting women, and I also work with men managing depression, anxiety, or relationship concerns. My style is warm, practical, and collaborative, and I use an integrative CBT approach to guide our work. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and equipped to move toward the life you want.

Finding the right therapist is about finding a balance between someone who truly "gets" it and someone who can help you map out the way forward. I’ve dedicated my career to being both a safe harbor and a catalyst for growth. My approach is rooted in deep empathy, but I am also firmly goal-oriented. Whether we are navigating a specific diagnosis or a difficult life transition, I believe that therapy should provide you with both a sense of peace and a clear sense of direction.
