I bring both professional expertise and genuine empathy to my work. Having navigated my own experiences with immigration, career changes and motherhood, I understand how destabilizing major life transitions can be. Those experiences shape how I show up for patients. I believe people do best when they feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My approach is integrative and individualized, grounded in evidence based care while also guided by curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story and capacity for growth.
My focus is on psychiatric medication management, including diagnosis and ongoing care for conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and related concerns. I do not provide weekly or primary psychotherapy, and may not be the best fit if you are seeking therapy-only services. If you are looking for ongoing talk therapy, I encourage you to select a licensed therapist (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, PsyD, or PhD) whose profile and approach best meet your needs.
Notice for New Jersey Clients: Due to current New Jersey law, stimulant medications cannot be prescribed without an in-person assessment. Because my practice is exclusively online, I am unable to prescribe these medications. I am, however, happy to help you explore non-controlled medication options for ADHD and other supportive strategies.
Please also note: I do not offer medical marijuana evaluations or cards.
Hi! I have been in the therapy field for over 18 years, working with individuals and families in both outpatient, group, and residential settings. After a few unsatisfying careers and emotional stagnation in relationships, I recognized I needed to do some significant work on myself. I pursued therapy for myself which led me to appreciate the capacity and curiosity to want to help others.
Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet we often neglect it due to stigma or the fear of being perceived as "crazy." I am here to guide you through the challenges you face in life, providing support during both the ups and downs. Together, we can develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your mental and emotional well-being.
I'm not that stoic, serious therapist you've traditionally seen portrayed in movies. I smile, I laugh, I frown, I may even gasp (insert gasp!).
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with grief and loss, the impact of a medical diagnosis and parenting issues. I have worked with children and families in a medical setting for over 20 years. I have also worked closely with individuals and families who have been touched by cancer. I believe in treating everyone with compassion and respect. I believe you are the expert of your life. We are all unique and have our own strengths.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Philadelphia
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Philadelphia starts with knowing what kind of support you're looking for. Some people seek help with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns in a space where their identity is understood. Others are navigating gender identity, coming out, or the effects of minority stress. Philadelphia has a strong network of affirming providers — look for a licensed therapist (such as an LCSW, LPC, or psychologist) who lists LGBTQIA+ care as a specialty and describes their affirming approach in their bio.
Beyond clinical expertise, fit matters. Consider whether you prefer virtual or in-person sessions, whether a provider's identity or background is important to you, and whether their communication style feels right. A free phone consultation can help you gauge that connection before committing to a full session.
Therapy in Philadelphia can be expensive, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to prioritize affirming care that fits your budget.
