After 20 years of experience in this field, I utterly believe the mind is a gift, and cultivating it becomes the ultimate task of our lives. Being happy seems to be harder these days and getting to know oneself is not an easy job. Ultimate observation and further inquiry into our minds is the best practice to become closer to who we truly are.
I bring a warm, grounded and approachable presence to therapy. Clients often tell me I'm easy to talk to and that I create a space where they feel understood rather than judged. As someone who balances many roles in my own life, I understand what it feels like to carry stress, navigate transitions, and show up for others while trying to take care of yourself. That lived perspective helps me connect with clients who are overwhelmed, burnt out, or searching for clarity and stability.
I earned my undergraduate degree in Speech and Hearing Disorders and my master's degree in Professional Counseling. I currently serve as a Clinical Supervisor and Program Director in community mental health, where I oversee clinicians, strengthen treatment programs, and support whole-person care across school, home and community settings. This background gives me a solid understanding of both the emotional and practical challenges people face.
I work with adults, teens, caregivers, parents, college students, and helping professionals. Some of the treatment areas I frequently support include:
- Anxiety and stress
- Depression
- Trauma-related experiences
- Grief and loss
- Burnout and compassion fatigue
- Life transitions
- Self-Esteem
- Relationship and family patterns
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but it does not have to be. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported from the very first session. I am known for being down-to-earth, genuine, and easy to talk to. I have several years of experience providing family therapy and working with individuals facing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, family conflict, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and flexible, allowing us to work together to identify goals and develop practical strategies that support meaningful change.

After decades in healthcare, including years in hospice and palliative care, I learned something that shapes everything about how I work: the most powerful thing I can offer is simply to be present. Not to fix, not to explain away, and not to pretend I fully understand what you are going through. But to stay with you in whatever you are carrying, without rushing, without judgment, for as long as it takes.

You just have to show up.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Philadelphia
Finding family therapists in Philadelphia starts with understanding what your family wants support with. Family counseling may help when families are navigating parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, mother-son counseling concerns, or communication across generations. A family therapist is trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for experience with family counselling and therapy, group and family therapies, or approaches that match your needs, such as structural family therapy or family systems work.
Philadelphia has many therapists across neighborhoods like Center City, South Philly, University City, and Fishtown, which can make the search feel harder to narrow. Consider whether in-person sessions near transit, school, or work would fit your family’s schedule, or whether virtual appointments would make it easier for more family members to attend. Session structure can also vary. Some appointments may include the full family, while others may focus on parents, siblings, or individual members. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each therapist handles family problem counselling, communication style, appointment availability, and free phone consultations.
Family therapy and consultation services in Philadelphia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find family therapists, many of whom accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
