My focus is on identifying your strengths and helping you to recognize your potential. I employ a client-centered approach in a collaborative effort with you to foster hope and the positive change that you desire.

You can name the pattern, predict it, and dread it, yet knowing it isn’t changing things. You’re not short on insight or effort. You’ve likely reached your limit or hit a breaking point. What you’re missing is somewhere to take it, with someone trained to help. We’ll map out the pattern, explore where it started, and practice implementing something different, so the tools and strategies create lasting change. I work with individuals and couples on relationships and communication, life transitions, stress and anxiety, intimacy and desire, infidelity, and more. Sessions are purposeful and intentional, and we build a concrete plan of action. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and the founder of Candid Therapy and Counseling, based in Old City Philadelphia and Newtown, Bucks County (est. 2023). I offer individual, couples, family and sex therapy to clients across Pennsylvania and New Jersey, in person at either office or by secure video. I hold three master’s degrees: two in counseling and one in business. The counseling degrees shape how I listen, while the business degree shapes how clearly we plan. I’m direct, playful, and challenging. I value your time, so sessions stay productive, efficient, and supportive. Nothing is off the table to talk about, including trauma, sex, and intimacy. I will support you as you deepen your self-awareness, enrich your relationships, and keep growing. Therapy is an investment in the work, not in proving anything about your worth. I will create a safe space for you to be vulnerable, or to learn how to be.

Are you hoping to deepen your relationships? Wondering where your “person” is? Feeling anxious or confused, or having a hard time imagining your future? Do you want to feel more authentic? Together, we can work toward understanding and growth. Through the relationship between us, we’ll explore how you communicate with others, consider the past experiences that informed who you are, and help you define who you want to become. Through collaborative, interactive sessions in an affirming, nurturing environment, you’ll learn more about yourself and how to implement strategies that enable you to live your life more fully and joyfully. My goal is to help you uncover your potential and establish positive lifestyle changes. With my support, you’ll examine your behavioral patterns, better understand and manage your feelings, and develop skills so that you can enhance your relationships and quality of life. I have over 15 years of experience as a psychotherapist who works with individuals and groups in the DC metro area. I’m psychodynamically trained, but my practice is far from Freudian psychoanalysis. My approach is eclectic - the most important thing to me is our working relationship, so I customize my work to serve you. Working with me, we’ll incorporate techniques from a variety of theories and methods including Relational Psychotherapy, Expressive Arts Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

There are times in all of our lives where we find ourselves at a crossroads. Do I continue on the path I am on, or is it time to pause, dig in, and face my fear, addiction, compulsion, hesitancy, anger, patterns, issues, struggles, etc.? This can be a very frightening crossroads, and having the courage to face ourselves, our past and what may be before us can be very fleeting. I meet people at this crossroads, and together we "dig in", and begin to explore what needs exploring, mend what needs mending, fight what needs fighting and forgive what needs forgiving. As they say in AA, I believe we are spiritual beings in physical world and as a Pastoral Counselor I am able and willing to explore how these two realities are integrated in our lives. Please feel free to give me a call with any of your questions or concerns.

Therapy is more than talking about what’s wrong, it’s about understanding what you’ve been through, learning how to manage what you’re feeling, and developing the tools to create meaningful change. My approach integrates DBT, somatic-based therapy, EMDR techniques, and CBT to help you address the connection between your thoughts, emotions, body, and relationships. If you struggle with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, trauma, negative self-talk, difficulty setting boundaries, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns, therapy can help you move forward. Through DBT, we work on practical skills for emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and healthier communication so you can respond to difficult situations instead of feeling controlled by your emotions. Through CBT, we identify the negative and unhelpful thought patterns that may contribute to anxiety, self-doubt, shame, or feeling stuck. You’ll learn how to challenge those thoughts and develop healthier, more balanced ways of thinking. With somatic-based therapy, we pay attention to how stress and past experiences show up in your body. Together, we work toward greater awareness, grounding, nervous-system regulation, and a stronger sense of safety within yourself. Using EMDR-informed techniques, we can gently address distressing experiences and emotional triggers while building coping resources and helping you develop a greater sense of control and emotional safety. You deserve a space where you can be understood, not judged. Therapy can help you move from simply surviving to creating a life that feels more balanced, connected, and fulfilling.

Has the stress of everyday life become too overwhelming? Do you feel your emotions are running high and starting to negatively impact your relationships with others? Maybe you just don’t feel quite like yourself. Maybe you have tried to cope on your own, but nothing seems to make a meaningful, long-term impact. Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to care for their own needs while balancing relationships and busy schedules. Starting therapy can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be! I believe finding a therapist who is the right fit is key to lasting change. After an initial consultation, we will start by taking the time to understand the challenges you are facing. We will explore your past and present experiences to better understand the patterns and emotions that have you feeling “stuck,” and we will collaborate on the best plan to help you push through the barriers keeping you in place. I offer a safe and supportive environment while providing a new perspective on issues you are encountering in order to guide you along your healing journey. Helping people live a more confident and empowered life is my passion. The road to growth, change, and healing can be a difficult one, but you don’t have to walk it alone. Call or email today for a consult, and together we can get started on your path to a better life!
