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 helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for ADHD therapists in Philadelphia starts with knowing what kind of support you want. ADHD therapy may focus on executive function, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation, communication, or building systems that fit your day-to-day life. Medication management is different and is usually provided by a psychiatrist or other qualified prescriber. Some people look for one type of care, while others work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you are searching for ADHD therapy for yourself, a child, or a teen, review each therapist’s listed specialties to see whether they work with adult ADHD, pediatric ADHD, anxiety, depression, or related concerns.
Philadelphia has many therapists across neighborhoods like Center City, South Philly, University City, and Fishtown, which can make the search broader than it needs to be. Location may matter if you prefer in-person sessions near home, work, campus, or public transit. Virtual appointments can also expand your options if your schedule changes often or you want to meet from a private space. As you compare ADHD counseling options, look at appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and how they describe their approach. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their communication style, experience with co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.
ADHD 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 and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, accept your plan, and are accepting new clients. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, review therapist profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
