Therapist

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.

Therapist

I specialize in helping adults and young adults manage anxiety disorders, panic attacks, chronic stress, and burnout using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches. I also support clients experiencing depression, trauma-related symptoms, and life transitions that feel overwhelming or hard to manage alone.

Many of the people I work with are functioning well but internally overwhelmed—dealing with constant worry, racing thoughts, physical symptoms of anxiety, or a persistent sense of being “on edge.” Others notice anxiety affecting their sleep, focus, relationships, or ability to relax and enjoy life.

If you're navigating the heartbreak of infertility, the overwhelm of new motherhood, or the quiet weight of trying to hold it all together while still feeling like yourself, you're in the right place. I work with women in the seasons of big change that come with this chapter of life: fertility journeys, pregnancy and postpartum, identity shifts, and the kind of stress that doesn't go away when the day ends. My background as a school counselor taught me how to sit with people in the messy parts of their stories and stay calm when emotions feel like too much. I'd be honored to do that work alongside you.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Philadelphia, PA

Finding postpartum therapists in Philadelphia starts with choosing someone whose experience matches the support you want. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for training in perinatal mental health, listed experience with pregnancy and postpartum care, or credentials like PMH-C, which signals specialized training in perinatal mental health. A therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their approach, who they commonly work with, and what you can expect in sessions.

In a large city like Philadelphia, the number of options can make the search feel harder to narrow. Location may matter if you prefer in-person care near Center City, South Philly, West Philly, or another neighborhood, especially when factoring in transit, parking, or time between appointments. Virtual therapy can also be a practical option for new parents managing infant care, physical recovery, and changing schedules. Before booking, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to help you decide if the fit is right.

Therapy in Philadelphia can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find postpartum therapists who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. You can review therapist bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
