I provide individual, couples, and family therapy in person in Philadelphia, and I can see clients virtually in most states including New York. Because I completed my postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania and was the director of Penn's O’Brien Center for Addiction Treatment, I have extensive experience with the needs of Penn students. I work well with student athletes, including those who are recovering from injuries. I am very familiar with the application processes for medical school, veterinary school, law school, and business school--and with careers in competitive industries such as consulting, investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, and real estate development. I can help students with burnout and academic stress as well as anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt. In addition to working with Penn Students, I also have experience with students from NYU, Georgetown, the University of Michigan, Yale, Brown, Fordham, Drexel, Bryn Mawr, Villanova, St. Joe's, Cornell, the University of Delaware, the University of Pittsburgh, American University, Penn State, Thomas Jefferson University, SUNY Upstate Medical University, and many other schools. I have helped students to find meaningful romantic relationships and to heal earlier relationship injuries that may be getting in the way of intimacy. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can be very helpful for overcoming childhood and relationship wounding. More broadly, I am skilled at helping with career coaching, anxiety, depression, trauma, insomnia, grief, loneliness and addiction. I also work with people to improve their relationships with social media and screens. My style is nonjudgmental and flexible. I often use EMDR to help people to work through stressful or traumatic events and to better understand themselves. Depending on the client’s goals, I can integrate CBT, DBT, and solution-oriented approaches. I have extensive training in IFS (Internal Family Systems) and, for couples, IFIO (Intimacy from the Inside Out). I also have specialized training in the CRAFT approach for how to talk to loved ones about addictive behaviors without hurting the relationship. Using EMDR, I can help people to address the root causes of complex issues like addiction. My background is in positive psychology and addiction. My postdoctoral fellowship at Penn was in positive psychology. From that I learned to help people to use their strengths to build happier lives and careers.
You do not need to be fixed. Your feelings are valid. It will get better. You will not always feel this way. And if you don’t believe this, I am here to support you through your darkest, most difficult times. As a licensed psychologist, I can be the listening ear and objective, kind voice. To help you process trauma, depression, and anxiety. Explain and discover why you emotionally eat or spend money, restrict food or control things in your life. Learn to reduce feeling overwhelmed or scattered. I can help you find your way and guide you to where you want to be.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I take a trauma-informed, compassionate, and collaborative approach to therapy. I understand that trauma can shape the way you experience yourself, your relationships, and the world—and that healing requires both safety and choice. My role is to help you reconnect with your strengths, restore a sense of control, and create space for growth that feels steady and empowering.I work from a trauma-informed lens, prioritizing safety, trust, empowerment, and emotional regulation in every session. I move at your pace and always respect your autonomy. Together, we’ll explore your experiences gently and intentionally, focusing on how trauma impacts your mind, body, and daily life. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients process traumatic memories in a way that reduces emotional distress and shifts long-held beliefs. EMDR can be especially effective for individuals who feel “stuck,” overwhelmed by past events, or disconnected from their sense of self. I also integrate CBT, mindfulness practices, somatic awareness, and strengths-based approaches—always tailoring the work to what feels most supportive for you.Your first session is a calm, low-pressure space to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask gentle questions about your goals, your history, and what you need to feel safe and supported. We’ll talk about what trauma-informed therapy looks like and, if you’re interested, I’ll explain how EMDR works and whether it may be a good fit—though we won’t begin EMDR on day one. You can expect a collaborative, compassionate conversation where you set the pace. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling heard, understood, and clear about our next steps.

I specializes in helping people who are having difficulty controlling their gambling. Behaviors such as staying up all night gambling, not attending classes or going to work, isolating, gambling until all your money is gone, lying or stealing to get money with which to gamble, chasing your losses, physically hurting yourself, and thoughts of suicide are common among people who have a gambling problem. Recognizing that you have a problem is the first step and asking for help is the second. Please contact me to take the most important step--doing something to stop the pain caused by problem gambling.

Many students I work with are navigating big changes, whether it’s adjusting to college life, managing anxiety or OCD, or trying to find balance in relationships and daily routines. You might feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, or worry about not having things “figured out.” In our work together, we’ll create a supportive space to better understand your story, identify what’s been keeping you stuck, and build tools that bring more clarity, confidence, and calm to your daily life. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and that’s okay. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so you can ask questions, share what you’re looking for, and get a sense of whether we’d be a good fit. When you’re ready, I’d be happy to connect and explore how I can best support you.
Art therapy is for the individual who has difficulty verbalizing what they are going through. Creating art helps the person work through the trauma, anxiety, depression etc. One does NOT need to have any art experience knowledge or talent! Only an open mind to exploring their feelings and emotions through a creative lens!
We are a group of professional counselors providing psychotherapy to adults and teens. Individual and couples sessions, as well as group therapy.
Life can have its challenging moments, especially during this time of uncertainty and quick changes. Throughout our life we develop methods of coping that, at one time, perhaps helped us to survive, but now prevent us from ultimately thriving. This can manifest in our relationship patterns and our mood which can cause disruption in work, love, family, friendships and a healthy identity. I am here to help support you through these changes as well find new ways to create balance and better manage the stressors influencing your daily life. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, life changes, or processing this past year, I am here to listen. While I am licensed as an art psychotherapist, creating art during session is not required.

As a therapist, I employ my 13+ years of experience working with diverse groups of adolescents and young adults to make you feel safe, supported, and heard. We'll work together to get to the root of what you're experiencing, so that you can live the fulfilling life you deserve. I provide convenient, flexible telemental health services, which means you can get the support you need while being comfortable in your own space.
