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.

Are you navigating grief, chronic illness or a rare disease, or a major life transition? Maybe you grew up in a family impacted by addiction, conflict, or instability, and want to explore how those experiences are showing up in your life today. These experiences can shape your boundaries, self-worth, and sense of responsibility for others—often influencing relationships, personal growth, and even physical health. In therapy, we’ll explore how your past and present connect, process what you’ve been carrying, and begin to shift patterns that no longer serve you—so you can move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.

I bring 20+ years of experience and a genuine belief that every person has the capacity for change. I'm direct but compassionate — I'll be honest with you, and I'll always be in your corner. I don't believe in labeling people or fitting you into a box. You are a whole, complex human being, and that's how I'll treat you. I also have experience working with dually diagnosed individuals and those navigating substance use alongside other mental health challenges, so no matter what you're carrying, I've likely sat with someone in a similar place.

Happy patient looking away

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.

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