What's My Approach to Therapy?
I work from a compassionate, relational approach that emphasizes emotional safety, collaboration, and attunement. I believe that therapy is not about fixing or rushing change, but rather about creating space to understand your inner world with curiosity and care. Through my own personal experience, and work with my clients, I have found that when people feel understood and respected, meaningful growth becomes possible.
In our work together, I help you slow down and connect more fully with your emotions, patterns, and needs. We explore how past experiences have shaped the ways you relate to yourself and others, while gently building new ways of responding and relating o yourself, and others, that feel more aligned and meaningful. I integrate emotional depth with practical insight, so sessions feel both grounding and purposeful.
My goal is to offer a steady, non-judgmental presence where you can feel safe being honest, explore what feels heavy, and develop greater self-compassion, clarity, and emotional resilience over time.
My Practice & Services
I provide therapy exclusively via secure telehealth. Offering virtual sessions allows for greater flexibility and accessibility while maintaining a meaningful, connected therapeutic experience. Clients can attend sessions from a private, comfortable location within the of Pennsylvania.
Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With
I work with adults and young adults who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, low moods, emotional overwhelm, or relationship stress and confusion. Many of the clients I support struggle with people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling unsure of their needs and worth.
I also have experience helping individuals process trauma and attachment-related wounds, including experiences that continue to affect emotional safety, trust, and self-connection. I work with my to 'connect the dots' and gain understanding and power to shift repeating, unwanted patterns that they understand logically but find hard to shift emotionally.
In our work together, we focus on building greater emotional awareness, distress tolerance, self-compassion, and a stronger sense of inner security. I am passionate about helping clients in developing healthier relationships with themselves and others, navigating life transitions, and feeling more grounded, confident, and aligned over time.
My Role as a Therapist
My role as a therapist is to offer a steady, supportive, and collaborative presence to allow you the safety and freedom to explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. I do not see therapy as a process of fixing or directing, but rather as working together to better understand what has shaped your experiences and how to move forward with greater clarity and self-compassion.
I aim to create a space that feels safe, respectful, and responsive to your pace and goals. I offer curiosity, reflection, and guidance while honoring your autonomy and strengths. Together, we focus on building insight, emotional awareness, and practical tools that support meaningful change both in and outside of sessions.
Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist
Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and the quality of the therapeutic relationship is often one of the most important factors in the process. Feeling emotionally safe, understood, and respected creates the foundation for meaningful and lasting change.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel comfortable being honest, trust that their experiences will be met without judgment, and sense that their therapist is genuinely attuned to their needs.
