I am a licensed psychotherapist in Philadelphia. I work with individuals and couples and specialize in relationships - relationships within families, between partners, between metamours, and one’s relationship with themself. I have worked with many poly couples (I prefer to work with couples, even in polyamorous units, as it allows us to focus on the interplay between these two partners. However, if you would prefer to include multiple partners, we can discuss this as well) and I am sex-positive, LGBTQ friendly, kink-knowledgeable. I also work with individuals on issues including trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, life transitions, chronic illness, and a myriad of other issues.

The desire to know one’s self intimately and for that self to be known and safe in the presence of others is a vital part of the human experience. Therapy is a space where you can practice deepening intimacy with yourself, so that you can share yourself more fully with others. I am a sex-positive therapist who strives to create a safe, non-judgmental environment that is welcoming to all bodies, orientations, relationship configurations, and lifestyles. Your body is not wrong or broken; all of who you are is welcome here.

I enjoy working with a variety of clients and issues. I am especially passionate about working with couples to increase emotional and sexual satisfaction, men’s identity and sexuality issues, grief and loss, body image issues, and gender identity issues. I have significant experience working with queer and transgender clients.

My counseling style is compassionate, collaborative, curious, and playful! I bring highly specialized training and knowledge of sexuality with me into our sessions, and have a particular gift at asking thought-provoking questions that help clients generate new insight into their experiences. My approach is integrative, combining emotionally focused therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, mindfulness training, and self-compassion training.

I am a clinical social worker committed to openness and the power of self-expression. My clients and I work together to explore opportunities for healing and growth, through an embracing, compassionate lens that nurtures strengths and honors that which makes each of us unique. I have practiced integrative psychotherapy for ten years with clients seeking to address all kinds of personal and interpersonal goals, using a variety of approaches including emotionally focused therapy, relational psychodynamic therapy, somatic and cognitive-behavioral approaches, as well as trauma-focused therapy (including EMDR.) I am certified in psychotherapy related to gender and sexuality from the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy in New York City.

Are your emotions getting the best of you on a daily basis? You feel out of control and are struggling to manage life’s stress? Personal relationships are struggling as a result and you don’t know where to turn? These feelings are normal for people who have trauma in their past. Depression, anxiety, anger, fear, and loneliness are often a result of a difficult past. Add in present day struggles and these emotions can easily take ahold of you. This may cause you to lose hope in the future. I want to help you rediscover that hope one day at a time. I use CBT as a baseline to help those struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, and other emotional issues. I am kink, poly, and queer friendly with both personal and professional experience in these arenas.

I own an LGBTQ and poly-friendly private group practice for holistic marriage and family therapy with a specialization on preschoolers, children, teens, and young adults. I am open 7 days a week and have late evening appointments. On a side note, I am also a 500 hour registered yoga therapist, so I enjoy offering mediation, breathing, yoga poses, and holistic techniques into my practice for PTSD/trauma healing. I offer an out-of-the-box approach using creative art, yoga, music, animals, and outdoor walking therapies for wellness and coping skills. I also offer phone and distance video sessions to residents of CT or international residents. I am considered an out-of-network provider. What that means is that payment in full is due at the time of your session and then you may seek potential reimbursement from your insurance. I’ve had clients that receive 100% reimbursement and some that have no benefits. You can also use a HSA or FSA card for services. I am happy to walk you through this process.

Are you experiencing anxiety or depression because of a stressful event or difficult changes in your life? Is your relationship under stress? I can help you adjust to challenging life transitions. Life events like divorce, breakups and job loss can be hard to recover from without the appropriate support. Even welcomed life changes can create stress and overwhelm, such as, having a new baby, starting college, or entering retirement.

Working together, we will determine the importance of social support, ways to find meaning during this life transition and how to increase your coping skills and self-esteem. If you are dealing with stress I can share with you relaxation training and techniques and show you how mindfulness can reduce stress.
