I believe that everyone has their potential already within them. Because of this, therapy is a place to discover what is possible and to provide the structure, tools, and outside perspective to more consistently bring your authentic self into your everyday. As we grow, we find that the ways we’ve seen and known ourselves no longer work for us, and the people around us change the dynamics in which we operate. Whether it is big life changes and self image issues to sexuality and relationship challenges, we have to take responsibility for our part and direct our effort to the areas where we have influence and control.

I approach patient care with the belief that we all have the inner resources needed for healing. Being in therapy does not need to be a life-long process yet one can gain invaluable insight as well as emotional and mental support from working with a seasoned clinician. The therapeutic process should help one to become increasingly more honest with self and ultimately more capable of enjoying life's precious moments.

I am a pre-licensed therapist offering virtual sessions from Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. I can also see a limited number of clients in person in Elkins Park and Central City Philadelphia; in time I hope to have more in person options. I like to work with individuals to help them to develop a stronger sense of who they are, their priorities and values, to grow their relationships and connections, and to have the resilience and tools to cope with all the challenges of life from social anxiety to grief to trauma. I believe the past informs how we grow but I like to focus on building the future.

In my experience, people often come to therapy because they feel a lack of fulfillment in their lives and in their relationships. Through empathic, non-judgmental listening, I help my clients feel more connected to their feelings and closer to the important people in their lives. I provide a safe, comfortable environment which encourages exploration of feelings and promotes positive change. Though therapy can be scary to start for some people, many find it invigorating and life-changing. Feel free to call or email me, and we can chat about whether therapy would be beneficial.

I believe that people are naturally resilient, possessing a deep well of inner strength. Every experience, past and present, is relevant to therapeutic work, and I strive to create a collaborative space to explore the things that weigh us all down. I approach each session with empathy, curiosity and an open mind, and encourage you to approach your own relationships, thoughts, and day-to-day life the same way. My relational approach to therapy is strongly rooted in the psychodynamic tradition, integrating narrative, DBT, and mindfulness techniques to meet the specific needs of each person I work with.

As a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I deeply understand that our relationships mean everything: to our family, our partners, our friends, and ourselves. When we are unhappy and suffering, our needs are not being met in a fundamental way. My vision for successful therapy is allowing the space and time to explore those needs. As a therapist who uses systems theory, I might explore the different ‘parts’ of a person's experience with themselves and others in Individual and Family Therapy. In Couples Therapy, I pull from the Gottman Method as well as EFT to strengthen and heal relationships with fantastic and practical tools.
