Virtual & in-person • <1 mi away • Philadelphia, PA
I am curious and validating, providing a nurturing environment to talk openly and honestly about your struggles, strengths, weaknesses, needs, likes, and dislikes. I love helping people explore their unique and particular powers as well as how these powers impact their world and their relationships. As a passionate supporter of those who have been through unjust or otherwise traumatic experiences--including those experiencing discrimination based upon race or gender identity or sexual orientation--I am particularly interested in helping people gain skills for dealing with, and making sense of, the remnants of their pasts.
Having completed Bessel Van der Kolk's Trauma Research Foundation's Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies in early 2025, I have a strong foundational understanding of the most cutting edge approaches to treating trauma. I am also comfortable using a combination of approaches, including Psychodynamic, Gestalt, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I received an MSW from the University of Pennsylvania, a psychodynamically focused program, after which I completed Bryn Mawr's certificate program in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have also completed 1 year of Gestalt Therapy training and the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Immersion Program.
As an LCSW, my training emphasized the role of social environment--from the family to society at large--in how we construct our narratives, enabling me to help you make sense of what in your life is yours to own and what is a product of your environment.

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding addiction therapists in Philadelphia starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use patterns, compulsive behaviors, and concerns that affect relationships or daily routines. As you compare therapists, look for training in approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
Philadelphia has many therapists across neighborhoods like Center City, South Philly, University City, Fishtown, and West Philly, which can make the search broad. Location, transit access, appointment times, and virtual availability can help you narrow your options. Recovery is often not linear, so it can help to look for a therapist whose bio reflects a non-judgmental style and experience with harm reduction, relapse prevention, family impact, or co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. A free phone consultation can also help you understand their approach before booking a session.
Therapy in Philadelphia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to find therapists, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. You can browse profiles, compare specialties and availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
