I draw from trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, psychodynamic, feminist and anti-oppressive treatment frameworks.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering virtual therapy to adults and couples in PA, NJ and NY. I'm passionate about helping people uncover and activate the resilience, strength and inner wisdom we all have within. I meet you where you are, whether this is your first time in therapy, or you’ve been in therapy for years. I aim to create an environment where you feel safe, heard and seen, so we can collaboratively explore how to increase your quality of life and connectedness to others. Together, we can examine the things you may have been running from, or the issues that have felt too scary to confront alone.

Are you a high-achieving, feminist woman who also struggles with perfectionism, worry, and negative body image? Do you beat yourself up and never feel 'good enough'? Do you feel exhausted from trying to 'do' everything but then feel like you have no time for yourself? I get it - As women, we often carry so much and we worry about pleasing others at the expense of ourselves. Nothing is wrong with you. However, I also know what it's like on the other side. I am here to help you tend to your emotions, set boundaries, and live a more joy-filled life. You are worthy of feeling free, empowered, confident, and connected to yourself.

With a passion for social and racial justice, I'm also grounded in Feminist theory, identity, and intersectionality.
Do you struggle navigating life? Do you wish you could increase your understanding and skills to make life less challenging? The good news is therapy can help you gain control over your life and pursue your dreams. Life is beautiful, but there are many tools that we as humans need to reach our full potential. Low confidence, readiness to change, trouble communicating, and lack of social support are just some barriers that can prevent you from getting “unstuck.” As a member of the Queer community, I empathize with these experiences and I have done intensive work personally and professionally that has changed my life for the better.

Ideally, therapy has been shown to have the best outcomes when you feel like your therapist gets you. Therapy is a relationship, rather than a set of instructions. My approach is warm, interactive, practical, and empathic, and I draw from relational, feminist, trauma-informed, anti-racist treatment models. I believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship, along with helping you contextualize your life experiences, honoring your expertise in your own life.

My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative and draws on psychodynamic, relational, and feminist theories.
Therapy can create a safe and supportive environment to rebuild resiliency and a sense of balance following a crisis or major life event. For many of my patients, the decision to start a family is met with unexpected hurdles such as fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, and pregnancy and postpartum depression/anxiety. I help women navigate the isolation, loneliness and strained relationships that are common to these experiences. I hold space for both grief and hope throughout your unique journey.

I draw on client-centered therapy, EMDR, narrative therapy, internal family systems, anti-racism, intersectionality, feminist and queer theories, and psychodynamic approaches to understand and address what’s happening in your life.
Imagine if therapy truly works for you—what would be different in your life? I ask this question in our initial session because therapy is about helping you achieve your goals and find healing. My role is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where curiosity, compassion, and exploration are at the forefront. A positive, strong relationship between therapist and client is essential for this process. I specialize in working with clients navigating gender identity, life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma, with a focus on religious and spiritual trauma.

I approach therapy as a team effort grounded in trauma-informed, anti-racist, fat liberatory, sex & kink positive, & feminist ideals.
Knowing the challenges of finding a therapist who can understand your life experiences, I prioritize working with communities with whom I share personal experience. This includes, but is not limited to: LGBTQIA+, polyamorous/ENM, BDSM/kink, SW, neurodivergent, & chronicaIly ill/disabled folks. I work with clients on a variety of topics, but special interests include: Unpacking attachment wounds using IFS; Transition stages in Poly/ENM; Navigating adult industries; Freedom from shame regarding sex & kink; Impacts of disability; Relationships to health, body image, and/or fatness from a fat liberatory and body neutrality lens.

I believe that therapy is a space to tell your unique story, where your lived experience will be received, honored, and validated without judgment. I support clients through a variety of challenges, such as exploring identity, navigating transitions, strengthening relationships, processing trauma, and coping with stress. As a queer, gender non-binary therapist, I am particularly passionate about providing sexuality- and gender-affirming therapy to queer and trans clients of all ages. I prioritize queer joy and gender euphoria in the therapeutic space, and strive to create a safe haven for clients to explore their identities.

Building and maintaining a healthy relationship with yourself and others creates a solid foundation for all areas of your life. Sometimes these relationships flow with ease and other times we are faced with challenges or transitions that might feel difficult to navigate alone. I work one-on-one with adults in providing therapeutic support through a collaborative, dynamic, and personalized approach. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic illness, trauma, and grief.

Are you struggling to feel understood in therapy? Are you having trouble within your relationships and feeling like you have no idea what to do? Are you interested in exploring who you are and what is happening inside you? Do you want to engage with more coping skills? Then I might be the therapist for you. I work best with clients who are under the queer, trans, and BIPOC umbrellas. I also specialize in working with sex workers, avoidance/ dissociation patterns, identity/gender/sexuality exploration, sex/intimacy, communication patterns, confidence/ self-esteem issues, and shame/guilt spirals.

My goal as a therapist is to create an open and safe space for clients in which we can work collaboratively and foster change. Together we can explore both what is troubling and unrewarding for you as well as strengths you may find hard to discern and fully realize. As you gain a better understanding of all aspects of yourself, we will work to transform patterns that no longer serve you and reimagine more satisfying ways of being. Our goal will be to help you find a more positive and capable sense of yourself with a greater ability to face and overcome challenges.

I bring natural skill, compassion, and extensive experience to my psychotherapy practice with adults, children, and families. I am a Master Trainer at the Yale Child Study Center and also work as clinical consultant to provide training to other therapists. I have a menu of treatment options that can be tailored to clients of all ages. I also work with parent-child dyads and couples who are struggling with co-parenting. My work with individual adults utilizes both body focused interventions (from my background in Gestalt therapy) and insight oriented and behavioral techniques (from my background in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).

Together, we will explore feelings, beliefs, and behaviors and work through challenging or influential memories to better understand yourself and others, and work toward your desired change and growth. I have worked extensively with busy professionals, artists, musicians, and individuals striving to express their creativity in unique, and significant ways. As a Relational Psychoanalyst we will work together to explore yourself in depth and create new meaning in your life.

When the time comes to make a change, it takes courage to ask for support. To be one who can respond to that request is a privilege. Starting in community mental health (access for all) and moving into my private practice, I have had experience working with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and grieving with adults, children, couples, and the LGBTQ community. I specialize in working with people who have a history of trauma, big and small, and varied relational issues. I integrate my psychodynamic and relational training with long- or short-term, problem focused psychotherapeutic work as well as EMDR treatment.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative, exploratory, and compassionate space for clients to work toward their goals. I utilize a blend of different treatment modalities that are psychodynamic, relational, and trauma-informed, as well as integrate cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices when appropriate.

As a therapist guided by compassion and insight, my mission is to provide a safe and collaborative space where clients can explore the depths of their inner world with curiosity.

Starting therapy is brave. I aim to foster a relationship that is compassionate, free of judgment, and a place where you can express your truest thoughts and feelings. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and the therapeutic space should be one that centers and honors your resiliency and strengths. Treatment is fluid and individualized uniquely for you. As such, I consider our work to be a co-created process and I endeavor to create a space where all expressions of selfhood and identity can be safely expressed.
