My Approach to Therapy

You might find yourself thinking, "Logically I know this& but I cant stop feeling this way". You may notice yourself overthinking conversations, questioning your self and your relationships, or feeling stuck in patterns that keep repeatingno matter how much insight you have. I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, attachment wounds & other trauma-related experiences. Many of the people I work with are highly self-awarethey understand the why behind their struggles but still feel overwhelmed, reactive, or disconnected in the moment. If that sounds familiar, youre not alone. What feels stuck is often rooted in emotional learnings and past experiences that once served a purpose. Even when you can make sense of your patterns, they can still feel automatic and hard to shift. In our work together, well begin to gently understand those patternsespecially the ones that dont seem to make senseand create space for something different. I integrate approaches like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and parts-based work to help you move beyond insight and toward real, lasting change. Rather than just talking about your experiences, well work with them in a way that helps your nervous system actually shift so the changes you make feel meaningful and sustainable. This might look like slowing things down, noticing whats happening in the moment, and helping different parts of you feel heard, understood, and less overwhelmed. Over time, this can lead to a stronger sense of self-trust, emotional balance, and more secure, fulfilling relationships. Therapy with me is collaborative, relational, and down-to-earth. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore, grow, and even find moments of humour along the way. I show up as a real person in the room and invite you to do the same so you can feel safe, understood, and supported as you move toward reconnecting to your authentic self.

My Practice & Services

I provide individual therapy exclusively via secure telehealth for adults across Pennsylvania & Florida. Offering virtual sessions allows for greater flexibility and accessibility while still maintaining a meaningful, connected therapeutic experience. You can attend sessions from a private, comfortable space of your choice. *Currently, I only have daytime appointments available (Tues-Fri 10am-1pm) and limited Saturday availability*

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I provide individual therapy for adults who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, depressionlow-mood, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, or relationship stress and confusion. I specialize in helping adults process trauma and attachment-related wounds, especially experiences that continue to impact emotional safety, trust, and self-connection. Together, we connect the dots between past experiences and present patterns, particularly those that make sense logically but feel hard to shift emotionally.

My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy

I believe the purpose of psychotherapy is not to "fix" you, rather it is to help you understand yourself more clearly and create change that actually feels sustainable. Therapy with me is not overly formal or clinical. I show up as a real person, and I invite you to do the same. There is space for depth, but also for humor, honesty, and the messy middle of being human. Many of the individuals I work with are navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, and self-doubt while looking like they have it all together on the outside. In our work, we slow down, explore patterns, and build self-trust in a way that feels grounded and practical, so you can start feeling like 'you' again.

Groups I Work With

I work primarily with women who are navigating anxiety, depression, attachment concerns, relationship stress, life transitions, and trauma-related experiences. Many of the people I support feel stuck in cycles of self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, overthinking, or people-pleasing, and long to feel more secure in themselves and their relationships. I help you explore identity, self-worth, boundaries, and patterns that may have formed through early attachment experiences or past relationships. Together, we work toward greater emotional safety, self-trust, and resilience so you can feel more at peace, confident, and aligned in your life and relationships.
