Specialties:

I am passionate about working with individuals, couples, and families who are navigating emotional and relational challenges that impact their everyday lives. I enjoy helping clients who struggle with emotional regulation, unprocessed trauma, and recurring patterns that may leave them feeling stuck or disconnected. Together, we explore how past experiences, family dynamics, and relationships have shaped their beliefs, behaviors, and personal narratives. I also work with clients to develop healthier ways of communicating, establish boundaries, strengthen self-esteem, and challenge narratives that may no longer serve them. My goal is to help clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships while creating new patterns that foster healing, connection, and meaningful change.

Clinical Style & Theoretical Orientation:

My clinical approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. Drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Contextual Therapy, and a systemic perspective, I seek to understand each client within the broader context of their relationships, family history, and lived experiences. I believe our past experiences and relational patterns can shape how we understand ourselves, navigate emotions, and connect with others. I strive to look beyond surface-level concerns to explore underlying emotions, unmet needs, and narratives that may contribute to feeling stuck. Together, we can process difficult emotions, explore generational patterns, strengthen communication, establish healthy boundaries, and develop new ways of relating to ourselves and others. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel understood and empowered to work toward meaningful and lasting change.

Personal Interests:

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy baking, discovering new cafés around the city, and spending quality time with my husband and our fur baby. I’m also a proud Philly sports fan, so you’ll often find me cheering on my favorite teams! I appreciate the little things in life, whether it’s trying a new recipe, finding a cozy coffee spot, or enjoying a slow day with the people (and pup) I love.
