My approach in therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal oriented.

It’s easy to lose your sense of direction, especially when life pulls you away from what once felt clear or important. I work with individuals who feel stuck, uncertain, or unsure how to move forward. You might be questioning your choices, your path, or your place in the world. These experiences often come with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or a sense of loneliness. In our work together, we’ll focus on helping you reconnect with what matters most and begin moving forward with more clarity and intention. Sessions include both reflection and practical steps, helping you better understand yourself while also creating a path forward. My approach is grounded, supportive, and collaborative. We’ll explore patterns, clarify your values, and work toward changes that feel realistic and aligned with who you are. Over time, clients often feel more confident in their decisions, more steady in themselves, and better able to navigate uncertainty. If you’re considering therapy, I offer a free consultation so we can talk through what you’re looking for and see if we’re a good fit.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist providing individual, couples and marital counseling in Center City, Philadelphia. My practice is focused on helping individuals develop a better understanding of who they are and who they hope to become. I believe that everyone has a unique story that deserves to be heard without judgement and with plenty of compassion. Individuals are treated with respect and building a trusting, therapeutic relationship is the first goal of treatment. The approach of therapy is collaborative in that you are viewed as the expert of your own life and treatment goals are developed collectively. As a certified yoga instructor and psychotherapist, I have a passion for mind-body wellness. I incorporate meditation, mindfulness and yoga postures with talk therapy to combat issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, stress and even relationship issues. At my practice, therapy is safe and productive. Many have called my methods of therapy, calming and refreshing. When working with couples, I use research based methods to help partners set meaningful goals and develop new and effective ways of communicating their wants and needs, thoughts, and emotions. I have helped couples work through many issues such as divorce and affairs as well as difficulties with communication, trust, and loss. From our sufferings, we are forced to be honest and then, the real change can occur.

As a therapist, I have a calming presence. My work with you begins from this place of inner calm, and a deep knowing that in the midst of all the pain and suffering in life all is truly well. My role as your therapist is to compassionately and non-judgmentally guide you on your quest to ease your pain and suffering, heal your wounds, and call home your lost soul parts. With understanding and acceptance, I guide you in your search to discover your own place of inner calm, and your own loving, joyous, peaceful center within where you are your authentic self. To guide you on your way I use a framework of exploration, gaining insight, and taking action.

Are you suffering from depression and anxiety or dealing with trauma, grief, or relationship issues? Do you have a sense of emotional overwhelm that leaves you feeling empty and exhausted? Are you dealing with chronic health issues of your own or a loved one? Have the stresses of your life disconnected you from the joy you were once able to feel? The stresses of human existence can become too much to handle on your own. It is in these times that you need the support of a professional. I am a Licensed Psychotherapist, Registered Yoga Teacher, and Ayurveda Lifestyle Counselor. My unique blend of healing modalities called Holistic Integrated Psychotherapy brings a rich tapestry of knowledge to the therapeutic relationship. Merging traditional psychotherapy with yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and Ayurveda practices allows for a deeper level of healing for the mind, body, emotions, and spirit that one will not attain with traditional psychotherapy practices alone. These modalities are not just practices but ways of understanding how we as human beings relate to ourselves and each other. One does not need any experience with yoga to benefit from this mind/body/spirit approach, all you need is to be open to the connection between this trilogy. Holistic Integrated Psychotherapy will guide you to heart based healing. Begin your journey today. Contact me for a free telephone consult.

Anxiety and stress affect everyone. Whatever the cause- relationships, school, work, social, medical issues, existential or spiritual crisis, loss of any kind- it can be overwhelming. Important obligations and events might be avoided. Communication and connection can be compromised. Self-esteem, sleeping patterns, energy level, and mood all may suffer. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and stress reduction, but also help people with: panic attacks, anger, ADHD, depression, phobias, OCD, addiction, trauma, relationship difficulties, spiritual and existential crises, chronic medical conditions (gastric, migraines, tinnitus, POTS, etc.), and many other problems. Very often, symptoms and issues overlap and are correlated. 

If you’re seeking a therapist who appreciates the complexity of your experiences and the challenges your family may face, I’d be honored to support you. As a marriage and family therapist and an approved clinical supervisor serving PA and NJ, I strive to help individuals, couples, and families find connection, healing, and opportunities for growth. My approach is rooted in empathy and understanding. I aim to meet you where you are, offering a warm and authentic presence. I offer skillful compassionate therapy helping individuals, couples, and families navigate stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges with EFT, MI, and Narrative Therapy. Together, we’ll build resilience and connection in a caring, nonjudgmental space. We can address concerns like depression, anxiety, anger, relationship difficulties, and life changes. Wherever you are on your journey, I am here to support you with care, knowledge, and a genuine desire to see you thrive. If you’d like to learn more or take the next step, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to the possibility of working together.

I provide a client-centric approach that leans into compassion so you can feel safe and secure. Through this space, we can get curious and explore areas where you feel stuck or wounded. From here, we can help you shift toward greater health and wellness. At its core, my work focuses on your relationships, including how they impact you and how you impact them. This helps us both widen our understanding and pinpoint areas of concern.

If you’re feeling stuck—knowing what’s hard but unsure how to break through—you're not alone. Whether you're grappling with trauma, anxiety, or the lasting effects of sexual or domestic abuse, it’s normal to feel uncertain about the next step. Therapy can be a safe and powerful space to unpack these struggles, find clarity, and learn how to move forward in a way that feels right for you. Together, we will empower you, helping you take control of your life and build deeper, more meaningful connections—with yourself, others, and the world. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone; healing is possible. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, focusing on genuineness, warmth, and unconditional positive regard. With a trauma-focused lens, I integrate IFS, Gestalt, mindful self-compassion, and mindfulness techniques. This holistic approach helps clients heal, gain insight, and build resilience on their journey to growth and recovery. Life is already hard enough without trauma; allow yourself the opportunity to unburden, learn new strategies and perspectives, and start living authentically. If you are ready to begin this chapter in your healing journey, please reach out today. I look forward to our work together.

Much of human suffering is about the way we experience things rather than the things themselves. Sometimes psychotherapy is about changing some events in our lives, but often it is about changing the experience rather than changing the things. Because all of the elements we need to achieve health and happiness are already within. and whether we change events or change the way we experience them, psychotherapy is always an act of courage.
