My clinical work is grounded in the belief that healing starts with a strong, collaborative relationship between therapist and client. One of my intentions as a therapist is to help guide you to an understanding of your own value and self-worth.

I consider myself an active therapist, using warmth, humor and compassion with my clients. I am direct, but down-to earth with a realistic approach to counseling. I practice from a variety of therapeutic orientations and perspectives as to best serve the individual needs of my clients. I work through an affirmative, trauma-informed, intersectional feminist, and social justice lens, while pulling from relational, attachment, and psychodynamic orientations. I also like to incorporate mindfulness skills and narrative work as well.

​

As a queer, lesbian identified clinician, I provide care from a cultural humility perspective and strive to be gender- affirming, anti-racist, body-positive, sex-positive and poly/non-monogamous aware. 

When I'm not being a therapist, you can find me relaxing at the park with my wife and our little doggie, Hoagie. I also enjoy traveling, being outside as much as possible, going to every concert I can find, and bingeing on Netflix. I was born in Philly, but lived in Southern California for 12 years. Therefore, I consider myself bi-coastal in attitude and all around mindset--which can get really weird in the city of Brotherly Love, but hey, I'm ok with it.
