Therapist

Some people experience fear that holds them back. Others are so weighed down by the complexities of life that it feels like there is not enough energy to do anything. Over time, they shift further and further away from the person that they know they can be, but they feel like they’ve already tried everything and feel stuck. If you can resonate, the bravest thing you can do is reach out. We all have core beliefs that define how we see ourselves and the world. These beliefs have huge implications for our emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns. Some are positive and helpful, and others are fear-based and limiting.


I help people gain awareness of their limiting core beliefs so they can actively reframe them, if necessary, into more beneficial and realistic beliefs. Together, we can explore the internal and external factors that impact not only your beliefs, but the feelings, behaviors, and relationships associated with those beliefs.


I collaborate with individuals, couples, and families, and together, we work to accomplish the changes they desperately want to make. If you are ready for a change, know I will be right by your side as you reclaim joy, face your fears, and begin to feel at peace with yourself again (or maybe even for the first time).

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Philadelphia

Finding postpartum therapists in Philadelphia starts with choosing someone whose experience matches the support you want. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for training in perinatal mental health, listed experience with pregnancy and postpartum care, or credentials like PMH-C, which signals specialized training in perinatal mental health. A therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their approach, who they commonly work with, and what you can expect in sessions.

In a large city like Philadelphia, the number of options can make the search feel harder to narrow. Location may matter if you prefer in-person care near Center City, South Philly, West Philly, or another neighborhood, especially when factoring in transit, parking, or time between appointments. Virtual therapy can also be a practical option for new parents managing infant care, physical recovery, and changing schedules. Before booking, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to help you decide if the fit is right.

Therapy in Philadelphia can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find postpartum therapists who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. You can review therapist bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
