Welcome! I'm a dedicated therapist with a deep passion for guiding individuals to strengthen their relationship with themselves. My practice is rooted in the belief that true healing and personal growth arise from embracing and integrating the parts of ourselves we often keep hidden. I help clients confront and reconcile with their inner struggles, unresolved conflicts, and repressed emotions. Through this process, we explore the deeper aspects of your psyche, uncovering the hidden motivations and beliefs that influence your behavior and relationships.

I think of the therapeutic relationship as a workshop where clients can plan, tinker, experiment, test, and refine parts of themselves, their relationships, and their lives with my unwavering support. It's a place and time where we can collaborate on what might need to change, what tools are necessary for the task, and on the ways it might begin to unfold. I create and hold a safe place for clients to ponder, practice, and consider change-- especially when they struggle to maintain that space for themselves. As a trauma informed practitioner, I am able to ground and contain intense affect to help clients feel held.

I am a depth psychologist practicing in Pennsylvania and remotely in 36 states via PsyPact. It may be that an external life event has left you feeling disoriented or, perhaps, you are confronted by an inner feeling of emptiness or agitation that is difficult to ignore. The common thread of suffering runs through all of our lives. Symptoms, and other manifestations of our psychological life, contain an important message. Deciphering the symbols of the psyche, via thoughts, feelings, memories, dreams and lived experience, allows us to lead a more balanced and meaningful life.

I believe that it is necessary to interact with clients as feeling, thinking, and embodied beings; therapy must address each person holistically and relationally in all aspects: emotional, cognitive, and behavioral. Therapy can help us make sense of our selves, our world, our relationships, our personal stories and the paths we take - other words, how to live life as our best, fulfilling selves. A former high school and university teacher, I have a passion for working with adolescents & young adults. I also have a keen interest in working on men's issues, helping men and those close to them to live more in-touch and connected lives.

My first goal when working with a client is to create a space of absolute safety, a space where people feel at ease to share the fullness of their suffering, to share their hopes and their dreams. I use a whole-person approach and learn not just about a person’s pain but also about their strengths and their vision for a better future. Together, my clients and I create a healing field that allows their deepest knowledge to flower. We transform confusion into clarity and habitual patterns into fresh action arising out of wisdom.

Our struggles & pain thrive in isolation, you don't have to do this alone. My approach to therapy is gentle, affirming & collaborative. Guided by trauma-informed philosophy, I view therapy as a collaboration; a space where trust + healing are co-created. Working with a therapist requires vulnerability & courage, it taps into & tests our innate strengths. It will be challenging at times and our capacity for being challenged varies one session to the next, so my priority is to check-in & move at a pace that's accessible. This means sometimes we slow down, and other times, I'll offer a gentle nudge towards critical self-reflection.

My therapy style is informed by my desire to explore, understand, and empower my clients. I am Kink/BDSM, non-monogamy, body neutral and queer aligned. I believe therapy is political and a space where clients can be intentional about their identities. Topics that I particularly enjoy working with include gender affirming care, chronic pain, working through infidelity, aging, navigating multiple racial and cultural identities, and processing sexual trauma.

Maybe things are feeling out of control? Or perhaps you are feeling alone and you need someone to talk to? It can be difficult to ask for help in those moments, but they are also the most powerful moments to be witnessed and accepted for who you are—to invite and make space for the beauty and the hurt, the difficult, the confusing, and the wonderful. If you reach out, I can provide a space where all parts of you are welcome and seen.

With over 25 years of experience in providing psychotherapy to individuals and couples, I practice from an attachment perspective where human connection is everything. I work with a diverse range of individuals, addressing whatever is causing distress, whether in the present or stemming from the past. I welcome those who wish to: gain insight and improve upon coping strategies that are no longer working, practice self-compassion, enhance the quality of their relationships, as well as those who wish to live a more satisfying and meaningful life.

I work with people struggling with general life transitions, self-esteem issues, and ADHD. Most of my clients feel "stuck" in life or feel like "bad adults" because they struggle with managing their lives/responsibilities or struggle with feeling positively about themselves. I frequently work with people navigating new phases of life who are trying to figure out the transition and how it may impact their identity. I really enjoy working with individuals and couples who are highly motivated to make change and have the desire for a deeper understanding of themselves, and their relationships, but may be unsure of where to start.
