Are you an ambitious, high-achieving teen or adult who can’t seem to quiet the relentless inner battles? You push yourself and show up for everyone, but still find yourself caught in spirals of self-doubt and the nagging sense that you’re never quite good enough. The racing thoughts and constant pressure to hold it all together are exhausting, and you’re tired of anxiety stealing yet another moment of your life?
I get it—I’ve been there.
If you’re ready to slow your thoughts, feel grounded and confident, and finally quiet the noise, I’m here to help you get there.
My goal is to provide a protected, collaborative space—one where you can exhale, explore, and work through things at a pace that feels right for you. You can bring your whole self—your challenges, questions, and hopes—and know you’ll be met with curiosity, compassion, and respect. Therapy with me isn’t about judgment or “fixing” anyone—you don’t need to be fixed—it’s about building insight, practical tools, and confidence so you can live a fuller, freer life. Together, we’ll navigate anxiety, self-doubt, life transitions, and more, using evidence-based strategies with empathy and support—so you can feel empowered, resilient, and connected to yourself.

Treatment Approach
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Biopsychosocial Therapy Takes into account biological, psychological, and social factors in understanding mental health. It looks at the whole person, not just symptoms.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) A short-term approach focused on improving relationships and social support. It is often used for depression and grief.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) A collaborative, client-centered approach that strengthens motivation for change. It is especially effective for addictions and health behaviors.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Psychoanalytic Therapy Based on Freud’s theories, it explores unconscious conflicts and past experiences. It seeks to bring hidden issues into awareness.
- Psychoeducational Therapy Provides education and coping tools about mental health conditions. It empowers clients with knowledge and practical skills.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
Approach Description: My style is warm, conversational, and genuinely collaborative. We’ll take a problem-solving approach to understand what’s getting in your way, calm the chaos, and identify practical changes that make life feel easier and more fulfilling. I pull from Cognitive Behavioral, Person-Centered, and Psychoanalytic approaches—along with other evidence-based tools—to help you explore your patterns, make sense of your experiences, and create real, lasting change.

I provide individual and family therapy virtually across Pennsylvania and in person in Bryn Mawr, PA. Clients often describe me as empathetic, supportive, dedicated, and insightful—with a dash of humor and sarcasm when things feel heavy. I believe therapy should feel safe, human, and approachable—not stiff or clinical. Together, we’ll explore what’s working in your life, what isn’t, and what needs to shift. Whether we’re unpacking past experiences, building coping skills, or navigating life transitions, I balance practical strategies with informed, empathic care. Working together you’ll gain clarity about who you are, what you want, and how to take meaningful steps toward a life that feels more aligned and manageable. Therapy has been transformative in my own life, and I bring that appreciation into every session—meeting you where you are, honoring your identity and experiences, and holding space for your growth, complexity, and resilience. I’m also a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ and HAES communities.
