Hi! I have been in the therapy field for over 18 years, working with individuals and families in both outpatient, group, and residential settings. After a few unsatisfying careers and emotional stagnation in relationships, I recognized I needed to do some significant work on myself. I pursued therapy for myself which led me to appreciate the capacity and curiosity to want to help others.

I have over a decade of experience working with people as they navigate life transitions. I understand struggling and feeling overwhelmed, and I believe that adding support and guidance can help alleviate life's stressors.

I've worked multiple years as a therapist in a community mental health center, a partial hospitalization program, and a nursing home. I try to understand where you are starting and where you are trying to go. I believe that there is value in humor, storytelling, and understanding different perspectives.

I help individuals and couples navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, and personal struggles so they can build confidence, find clarity, and create meaningful change. My passion for counseling began after seeing a family member face mental health challenges, which showed me the importance of having a safe, supportive space to be heard and understood. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for a new chapter, therapy can help you recognize your strengths, develop new tools, and move forward with greater hope.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Philadelphia

Finding addiction therapists in Philadelphia starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use patterns, compulsive behaviors, and concerns that affect relationships or daily routines. As you compare therapists, look for training in approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.

Philadelphia has many therapists across neighborhoods like Center City, South Philly, University City, Fishtown, and West Philly, which can make the search broad. Location, transit access, appointment times, and virtual availability can help you narrow your options. Recovery is often not linear, so it can help to look for a therapist whose bio reflects a non-judgmental style and experience with harm reduction, relapse prevention, family impact, or co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. A free phone consultation can also help you understand their approach before booking a session.

Therapy in Philadelphia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to find therapists, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. You can browse profiles, compare specialties and availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
