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.
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.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Philadelphia
Finding the right therapist in Philadelphia starts with getting clear on what you need. Consider whether you're looking for support with a specific concern like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions, or whether you'd benefit from a broader conversation with a licensed provider. Therapists hold different credentials — such as LPC, LCSW, LMFT, or PsyD — and many specialize in specific approaches or populations. Knowing your priorities can help you narrow your options faster.
Philadelphia offers a wide range of mental health care providers across neighborhoods like Center City, University City, Fishtown, and South Philadelphia. When comparing providers, look at their training, areas of focus, and whether they offer in-person sessions, virtual sessions, or both. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and what to expect in a first session.
Cost is one of the most common barriers to starting therapy, but using your insurance can make a significant difference. Many Philadelphia-area providers accept major insurance plans, which can bring your per-session cost down considerably. On Headway, you can verify your insurance and see an estimated session cost before you book — so you know what to expect from the start.
