I am a licensed clinical psychologist located near Rittenhouse Square. While I have experience with a wide range of issues, I am especially skilled in working with depression, anxiety, loneliness, loss, shame, and sexual and gender identity concerns. My approach to treatment is relational and psychodynamic. This means that I strive to maintain a strong focus on the relationship—both the therapeutic and real, human relationship—between the client and me. To this end, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is itself a powerful agent for change and can serve as a foundation for addressing numerous real-world problems.

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.

Are you ready to heal the deeper wounds from childhood trauma? Do you notice your body holding onto the trauma—aches, pains, or ailments that flare up when you're stressed or overwhelmed?

The strength and quality of the therapist-client relationship can predict success in therapy. So, it's important that you find a therapist who makes you feel like coming to therapy is equal parts challenge and safety. I have rejected aspects of traditional ideas of professionalism (for example: you can't have tattoos and still be professional, being a therapist with political beliefs in unprofessional), while retaining the aspects of professionalism that contribute to therapeutic success (for example: having good boundaries, ensuring confidentiality, using well-informed techniques).

You’re exhausted and feel lost with sex because you’re never in the mood but feel SO guilty about this and worry there's something wrong with you. You want to WANT to have sex but it's like there's some disconnect between your mind and body. You feel like you’re the problem in your relationship but don’t know how to fix your sex drive because you’re a people-pleasure so it’s really hard for you to think about yourself (and even identify your needs). You feel like you’re seeking help in the wrong places because you’re going in circles which is overwhelming, feels like a constant weight, and is making you feel broken.

My clients are burned-out peacemakers suffering from anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. They put others before themselves and struggle to set boundaries. Many had childhoods where their emotional needs weren't fully met and may struggle with ongoing difficult family relationships.

Our work is a process of learning who they are, what they need, and undoing the unhealthy patterns that keep them trapped. I provide virtual individual, family, and couples therapy.
