My Approach to Helping

Welcome! If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need a safe space to work through your thoughts and emotions, I'm here for you. My focus is on providing the nurturing and support necessary for you to begin facing life's challenges while gently guiding you toward growth.Many clients have shared that my authentic, down-to-earth style has made a significant difference in their healing journey. Together, we develop a relationship based on mutual humor and connection that fosters trust, enabling you to make purposeful changes to improve your life.

You may be navigating the reorganization of a relationship, a significant life change, or simply feeling out of touch with your true self and others. These are common challenges for many of us, and they don't need to take over your life. Together in our sessions, we will create new positive experiences that you can bring into your everyday life to help you feel more in control and at peace.

With over a decade of experience and advanced training in marriage and family therapy and human sexuality, I am dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families in creating lasting and meaningful change. My approach is informed by a keen awareness that while some changes bring quick relief, deeper transformations occur when you fully understand how to see yourself and interact with the world.

You can expect resources and tools, such as worksheets, podcasts, and books, to use between sessions to further your growth. Our emphasis is on ensuring you are progressing meaningfully toward your goals. Having taught at Temple, Penn State, and Rutgers, I bring a distinctive approach to therapy that ensures our work is productive and tailored to your needs.

Let’s work together to create the positive, healthy changes you’re looking for. I’m here to support you on your journey towards a higher state of well-being.
