"Being a helpful theraist is not about doing something for the client, but about being someone for the client."

I love being a therapist and making 'real' and meaningful connections with those I work with. I strongly believe in the transformative potential of psychotherapy and that it is my job to create an environment where your innate capacity for growth, healing, and connection can awaken and make possible the changes in which you deeply desire. 

I understand people to be unique and complex, as are the problems they face. From this perspective, I tend to see symptoms as a signal of something else that needs to be paid attention to – often deeper issues that have never been acknowledged, formulated, or processed. It is when we can develop a secure therapeutic relationship, that we can "go deeper" and understand the underlying experiences and processes that drive our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and reactions to others. From here, longer lasting symptom relief and personally meaningful changes can be created and maintained long after therapy ends.

It is my goal to help create a therapeutic relationship where this can be possible. I am very interested in getting to know people on multiple levels, including their past or developmental experiences, who they are today, and how they interact with others and experience the world. The therapeutic process will allow us to create a real, experiential relationship where we can explore both from a historical, and "real-time" perspective, the painful feelings and thoughts, past experiences, and ways of interpreting or perceiving new experiences that often shape or perpetuate current problems. It is also through this relationship that powerfully transformative, emotionally-corrective, and deeply meaningful and healing experiences can be experienced and integrated into one’s being.

I understand that therapy of this kind requires a significant investment of time, money, energy, and emotional vulnerability. I do not take this lightly, and respect this by also seeing my role as a therapist as a significant investment and commitment as well. As such, I believe being a good therapist requires a dedication to continuous self-reflection and growth through regular personal therapy, consultation with peers and supervisors, and continuing education and training. These are values I hold near to my heart and live out to the best of my abilities, so that I can be the best possible version of myself for you and our work together.   ​

​"I want my clients to feel empowered and free to explore themselves and grow into the person they wish to become."

My approach to therapy is one that prioritizes the creation of a relationship that is safe, mutual, and honest. My presence is calm, warm, and active. I offer my clients feedback and challenge them in ways that encourage growth, often with some levity and humor. I value knowing my clients as a person first and foremost and prioritize gaining an understanding and appreciation of their perspective.

I work together with my clients to identify negative patterns in their life and provide the opportunity to create new, healthy experiences. My therapeutic approach is generally grounded in psychodynamic, existential, and humanistic theories. However, I believe that no two clients are alike and that no one approach works for everyone. For this reason, I tailor my approach to each client’s unique needs through collaboration and feedback.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I have considerable experience treating depression, anxiety, trauma, and difficulties in interpersonal or romantic relationships. I am also committed to working with issues concerning identity development, diversity, and sexuality. The focus of my practice is in treating individuals from late adolescence through adulthood. I have extensive expertise working with university students and medical professionals.

​I also have broad experience and training in facilitating interpersonal process groups that help clients improve their relationships with others and gain a better understanding of their interpersonal interactions.

"I believe that healing occurs in therapy when there is a safe and trusting connection between the therapist and client. I strive to support the person sitting with me through listening with empathy and no judgments."
​
I am continually honored to bear witness to healing as I support individuals and groups as they strengthen the relationship to themselves, others, and communities.
​
I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience working in a variety of settings. I specialize in working with trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, life changes (including pregnancy and transition to parenthood), interpersonal difficulties, self-esteem, and adult children of unattuned parents. I have extensive experience working with survivors of sexual violence, interpersonal violence, and child abuse. I work with both adults and adolescents. I also offer clinical supervision for LSW’s working toward their LCSW.

My therapeutic style is integrative; I work with each individual to find an approach to treatment that meets that person’s needs in the moment and over the course of therapy. In doing so I draw on a variety of approaches including relational, emotion-focused, mindfulness-based, body awareness, and cognitive behavioral. I also keep in mind the impact systems have on individuals and the intersectional nature of identities. In my practice I strive to be trauma-informed and affirming of all identities, including LGBTQ+. I stand with the Black Lives Matter movement.

I am trained in a number of trauma-specific interventions. I am a certified Prolonged Exposure provider and a certified Trauma Process Yoga Group provider. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma Art Narrative Therapy. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma Art Narrative Therapy.

"From the beginning of therapy, I want to establish a relationship that feels as comfortable and safe as possible so that we can work collaboratively to decide the direction of therapy."

I seek to provide you with the flexibility and agency to choose for yourself if you would like to accept or change certain patterns within your life. I bring a gentle, calming presence to the relationship, which I balance with active challenge and feedback in order to create the possibility for new behaviors, emotions, and relationship dynamics.

I work from a relational, emotion-focused psychodynamic therapy approach, which emphasizes understanding relationship patterns in the past and present in order to process the emotions related to these experiences. When we are young, we learn ways to cope with our feelings and usually these strategies were helpful at the time. However, these ways of coping frequently do not serve us anymore and in fact, disrupt our growth. We will aim to broaden these strategies so you have more options when responding to a situation. We will try to understand the meaning behind these behaviors and what it might represent.
 
I have specialized experience working with individuals who present with developmental and relationship trauma, eating concerns and eating disorders, as well as self-injurious behavior. I also work with individuals experiencing a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, identity development, and attachment/relationship concerns.
 
I have significant experience working with individuals who are exploring or have concerns related to their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. I have written letters for my clients in support of gender -affirming surgery. We can focus on your identity development and how you want to incorporate this part of yourself into your life. We can also discuss conflicts that have arisen within yourself, important others, and how you are treated in the world since questioning and/or acknowledging this part of your identity. ​

"My goal is to create a secure therapeutic relationship in which you feel seen, heard, valued, and empowered."

Many people choose to enter therapy to gain a deeper understanding of themselves – their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in addition to reducing distressing symptoms, and resolving problems in their personal relationships. Oftentimes, the issues we face in the present stem from painful experiences in the past.  As a result of these experiences, we develop ways of coping in the world – some continue to serve us well and others may get in the way of us living a more satisfying and fulfilling life. I offer a warm, non-judgmental, and safe environment for exploration, healing, and growth.

I work with individuals and couples who are dealing with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, shame, and relationship issues. I also specialize in the treatment of complex trauma and have extensive training, supervision, and experience working with dissociative disorders.

My goal is to create a secure therapeutic relationship in which you feel seen, heard, valued, and empowered. I take a collaborative approach and will work with you on identifying your goals in the present and for your future self.  

I am trained in EMDR, Clinical Hypnosis, IFS/Ego State/"parts of self" work, and Deep Brain Reorienting. I am a certified Relational Psychoanalyst through the Institute of Relational Psychoanalysis of Philadelphia.

"The therapeutic relationship itself has the power to transform your life in ways you may have never imagined."

I’m passionate about helping people heal and grow through a supportive and integrative approach to therapy. I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced complex trauma or grew up in emotionally neglectful or immature environments. Whether you’re dealing with perfectionism, feelings of shame, or challenges in setting healthy boundaries, I provide a space where you can feel genuinely understood, validated, and heard.

In our sessions, I strive to create a warm, compassionate environment where you can explore your past experiences and make small yet impactful changes in your life. I balance empathy with directness, offering both support and clarity, and I incorporate a touch of humor to what might seem like a daunting process, making our work together as engaging and approachable as possible.

I am dedicated to delivering therapy that is both affirming and culturally attuned, ensuring that each client's unique identity and diverse experiences are valued and integrated into our work. My approach combines relational, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral therapies to create a comprehensive treatment experience. With additional training in Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure for PTSD, I offer specialized techniques to help you navigate and overcome trauma when applicable.

​So much can change when you let the right person in. My approach is about more than just addressing symptoms; it’s about helping you build a more fulfilling and balanced life through a relationship that is truly therapeutic.​

"I am committed to fostering a warm experience and collaborative process tailored to fit your needs."
​​
My areas of expertise include challenges navigating social life, relationships, and life transitions, coping with traumatic experiences, and understanding complex family dynamics. My goal is to create a comfortable and judgment free therapeutic space within which adults, children, and youth can explore, heal, and grow.

​With advanced training in relational psychodynamic therapy, I specialize in trauma informed mental health treatment based on the development of a strong therapeutic relationship. I work from a deep understanding of how patterns developed under our circumstances in childhood can set the stage for the complex challenges we face as adults, while remaining grounded in our experience of the present.

When working with LGBTQ+ individuals, my approach is affirming and holds in mind the psychological impact of social marginalization on LGBTQ+ mental health. My work with children emphasizes the roles of free play and family involvement in healing, self-expression, and healthy development.
​
 I appreciate that the fit is critical in finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and can trust. Please feel free to reach out for a free consultation prior to making an initial appointment. I’m here to discuss any questions you may have.​

"I believe therapy can be a beneficial tool for any person that choses it, and I am honored when I am allowed to be a part of someone’s healing journey."
​
​My approach to therapy is largely Person-Centered – meaning I respect and honor the capacity that each person has to grow and heal, and that I believe already exists inside of everyone. Sometimes people come into therapy expecting the therapist to have all the answers or to be able to read their minds, but I think it’s important to create a space where we can better understand and work on things collaboratively. I also draw from the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach, so that we can understand and work on improving the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and use different strategies and coping skills to decrease symptoms and work towards a variety of goals. In addition, I am incorporating more aspects of the IFS (Internal Family Systems) and Psychodynamic approaches to better understand my clients and to help clients learn more about themselves.
 
​I work with young adults and adults experiencing a variety of issues related to depression, anxiety, relationship problems, life stressors, grief/loss, and the effects of all kinds of traumas, big and small. My role is to support you through this journey of healing, discovery, and self-improvement, to help provide some perspective, or to ask questions to help build greater insight, understanding, and self-compassion. Most importantly, my role is to hold space for you and with you. I value the client’s needs and building a strong therapeutic relationship, where you can feel heard, seen, and accepted.
 
​I have completed my Master’s degree at Thomas Jefferson University’s program in Community and Trauma Counseling and am working towards licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I am specializing in trauma-informed therapy, and my work is extensively focused on understanding the effects of childhood trauma on individuals in later life when left untreated. Although the work is hard and can be uncomfortable, I am here to empathize with you and support you in ways that are unique to you. I look forward to walking with you this journey!

"Therapy can help foster healing and change by offering a space to safely and freely explore who you are and what you want for yourself and in relationships with others."
​
I believe past negative experiences can have a lasting impact on the present in ways that are sometimes hard to make sense of, such as negative relationship patterns, feeling stuck or overwhelmed, anger, shame, confusion, intimacy issues, concerns connected to gender identity and sexuality, or just doing things in life that aren’t working but you don’t understand why . My work helps people gain insight into how the past may be impacting the present, and foster the strength to express and stay true to their own needs and desires.
​
 Throughout our work together I will listen thoughtfully, offer perspective, and challenge you to become curious about who you are and how we can work together towards meaningful change.

I am specializing in work with male-identifying, gender non-conforming, and queer survivors of childhood sexual abuse. In addition, I have experience working with a range of people and concerns.  Above all, I am dedicated to tailoring my work to the unique contexts, concerns, and goals of every person I see with respect and without judgement.

"I think of therapy as a space where we can explore not only what is difficult or distressing, but also what is joyful, connective, warm, and creative. "
​
​​ I believe that noticing what goes unspoken is just as important as recognizing the patterns in your life, and that not-knowing is just as valuable as curiosity.
 
My approach is primarily relational and psychodynamic, meaning that our work is rooted in the relationship that unfolds between us and how it may illuminate aspects of your relationships to yourself, to others, and to the systems around us. I view mental health through the lens of intersectionality, keeping in mind the impact of histories both personal and collective. At the same time, I believe that you know yourself deeply, and that it is essential to listen without making assumptions about your experiences and what might feel most pressing for you.
 
While I work with clients of all identities and areas of concern, I have a specific background in working with people under the LGBTQ+ umbrella, people exploring their relationships to their bodies, people who identify as neurodivergent and/or disabled, and people with complex, intergenerational, and/or cultural trauma histories. I also have experience with adults of all ages, particularly those whose lives are in transition, and I have worked with groups as well as individuals. My hope is that we can collaborate in creating a safe-enough space for your whole self to emerge; I’m honored to meet you there.​

"My therapy process seeks to identify how all internal and external forces throughout our life shape who we are and how we navigate the world today, to enact change." 

I hope to collaboratively explore the layers of your inner world by building a safe-enough space through our relationship. Therapy can be (and is almost always) a painful and vulnerable experience, yet also immensely rewarding. My therapy process seeks to identify how all internal and external forces throughout our life shape who we are and how we navigate the world today, to enact change. Non-judgmental curiosity and compassion are essential in this process.

I primarily practice from a trauma-informed, relational psychodynamic lens, but often integrate components of CBT, humanism, somatic awareness, and family systems theory.

Although I have experience working with depression, anxiety, self-harm, grief, trauma, suicide, loneliness, and identity exploration, I am open to working with any presenting concern. I also find that it is essential to consider how the injustices, oppression, and harm perpetuated by our world contribute to these concerns.

My areas of passion and specialization include trauma and intimate partner violence; I have extensive experience working with both survivors and partners who have acted harmfully. I also acknowledge how our cultural backgrounds can complicate our understanding of ourselves and our relationships. I work with clients with multicultural identities who struggle with intergenerational conflict, guilt, and loneliness, among other difficulties.

In my sessions, I strive to create a safe environment that supports the therapeutic journey and healing process; my approach pulls from diverse modalities including relational, psychodynamic, feminist, and strengths-based. Trauma can be especially painful to talk about so I utilize more targeted treatments like EMDR which can allow my clients to hold the impact of their painful experiences differently.  
 
I strive to understand what my clients have been through, who they are, and what they want. I listen with curiosity, compassion, and warmth. With this approach, I hope to build a trusting and enduring relationship with my clients so we can work together to gain the tools, insight, and strength to help them shape their lives moving forward.

"I believe that every individual client is unique, and no single approach will be universally effective."
​
Therapy begins with creating a safe and welcoming space in which I can get to know my clients as people. I believe in working collaboratively with them to explore their challenges and difficulties, as well as their joys and successes.

My approach to therapy is primarily relational and psychodynamic. I believe that exploring past and current relationships and experiences can be helpful in addressing current challenges. However, I also integrate elements of body focused mindfulness into my practice. I believe that every individual client is unique, and that no single approach will be universally effective. Because of this I shape my approach to each client’s comfort and needs. My work is deeply grounded in intersectional understandings of identity. I believe that each client’s uniquely intersecting experience of privilege and oppression form an essential context for their wellbeing.

​I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, body image, family trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I have experience working with survivors of sexual violence, interpersonal violence, and child abuse. I also enjoy working with athletes around the intersection of their mental health, performance goals, and the overall role sports play in their lives.

"Therapy is an opportunity to find compassion for yourself, to heal, and to celebrate the successes."
​
​​Starting therapy can feel like a big step in asking yourself to delve deep into self-exploration and vulnerability, but it’s not a process you need to take on alone. My role is to walk alongside you—to offer a safe, caring space built on trust, honesty, authenticity and humor for you to explore your story.

I work with adults who are moving through experiences of trauma or complex trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, neurodivergence, and times of transition. In our sessions, I draw from strengths-based, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and Internal Family Systems approaches. What this means is that while we look at the challenges you’re facing, we’ll also recognize the strengths you already carry, which are powerful building blocks for growth and healing.

Our past experiences shape so much of how we move through the world—where we feel safe, how we cope, what drives us, and what brings us joy. Together, we’ll explore the different parts of you in ways that feel supportive and tailored to your needs.

Before joining Turning Leaf Therapy, I worked with people who were incarcerated. That experience—both meaningful and difficult—opened my eyes even more to the systemic barriers that many people face. I’m dedicated to seeing each person as more than their circumstances, and to working collaboratively and holistically.

I also hold a deep commitment to anti-racism, advocacy, and amplifying voices that too often go unheard. I believe that healing as an individual is another step towards healing as a collective.

If you’re ready to begin this journey, I’m here to walk with you.

"Together, we can work to build emotional insight, address limiting beliefs, and explore new possibilities."
​
People often seek therapy during times of overwhelming transition or times when they feel agonizingly stuck. As a licensed social worker, I collaborate with my clients to move beyond shame and develop curiosity about their symptoms of distress. My professional background includes inpatient psychiatric care and school counseling, settings where I developed strong crisis management skills and a profound appreciation for the way childhood experiences impact our development across the life course. Everyone has their own story, and I take a trauma-informed, client-centered approach to therapy, supporting each individual in defining what healing means to them.

In the early stages of therapy, I often incorporate cognitive-behavioral strategies and mindfulness skills in order to provide concrete symptom relief, especially for those experiencing acute anxiety, obsessive compulsive tendencies, or body-focused repetitive behaviors. As trust develops, we may examine deeper relational patterns shaped by early childhood, trauma, and identity. I pay special attention to the ways in which oppressive systems and intergenerational family dynamics impact personal suffering. Nothing exists in a vacuum, and situating pain within context can be a powerful step towards increasing self-compassion and identifying opportunities to enhance agency.

During my graduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania, I learned to take a person-in-environment approach to care, completed training in cognitive behavioral therapy for suicide prevention through the Center for Deployment Psychology, and earned a certificate in LGBTQ+ policy and practice. I also conducted original research on stigma and body-focused repetitive behaviors, presenting my work at Oxford University. In my free time, I enjoy making collages, going on picnics, and reading library books. I strive to keep creativity, humility, and sensitivity at the center of my practice. Together, we can work to build emotional insight, address limiting beliefs, and explore new possibilities. I would be honored to meet you.

"No matter what brings you into this work, I will meet you with respect, care, and genuine commitment to supporting your growth on your own terms."
​​
Tending to a relationship with yourself is a continuous practice, shaping the way you show up in all areas of life. With ongoing attention and care, I am dedicated to understanding how you experience your own story and your relationships, the complex history and challenges that shape your inner life, and the unique ways you navigate a world where change is constant. Being vulnerable can be an act of courage, and I endeavor to listen with empathy and non-judgmental curiosity, walking alongside you as we explore what matters most.

​My approach is rooted in psychodynamic, client-centered, and existential theories. I attend to each individual’s unique needs and strengths while cultivating a space of safety that allows for honest reflection and new inner truths and experiences to surface. I have experience working with teens and young adults facing a wide range of concerns, including depression and life stressors, the impacts of complex trauma, identity exploration and integration, and acculturation stressors faced by multicultural and minoritized identities. I also have specific background in working with survivors of relational and domestic violence, as well as individuals who have caused harm. I incorporate elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS), ACT, along with creative expression, as pathways to support healing.

No matter what brings you to this work, I will meet you with respect, care, and a genuine commitment to supporting your growth on your own terms. It would be an honor to walk with you towards the life you envision.

"My goal is to support you in facing and embracing all aspects of yourself, especially the ones that feel most unworthy of love." 

I view therapy as a collaborative process centered around the co-creation of a safe environment for self-discovery. The relationship between therapist and client is the most important aspect of the work, as it creates the container for insight and growth to occur. Therapy is not one person fixing the problems of another, but rather two people coming together in compassion and respect to learn more about the human condition from one another and discover new paths forward. 

My work is rooted in relational therapy, focusing on the “here-and-now” of our dynamic as a way to explore patterns and uncover the influence of early experiences. I pay attention not just to symptoms, but to the emotional and relational contexts that give rise to them, including how you navigate trust, vulnerability, boundaries, and connection.

My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing from psychodynamic theory alongside evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, and IFS parts work. My clinical work is informed by my background in yoga, meditation, and bodywork, supporting clients in developing deeper mind–body awareness as a natural aspect of the healing process.
​
I’m especially passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ folks navigating identity, trauma, anxiety, and relationship challenges. My clinical experience includes university counseling, refugee resettlement, and LGBTQIA+ community care. Above all, I strive to offer a warm, affirming space where all parts of you are welcome.

"I believe therapy starts with a safe and supportive partnership between client and therapist."
​​
Whether you're considering starting therapy for the first time or returning after a break, it's normal to have questions about what the process might look and feel like. That is completely understandable. I'm here to help you explore and clarify how therapy could support you—whether you're dealing with a recent life event or something you've been carrying for a long time. I believe therapy works best when it begins with a partnership between us that will serve as the foundation of our work together.


 
Once we meet, we will decide what our work will look like and what approach will best serve you and your individual needs. Generally, my approach is relational and psychodynamic, which just means I pay attention to what happens in our sessions to better understand how you relate to others and yourself. We might explore patterns in your history and present, gently questioning old ones that no longer work and discovering new possibilities. I also incorporate evidence-based practices (such as CBT or DBT techniques) when appropriate. Above all, I am committed to a trauma-informed and individualized approach, considering how to make our work together feel safe and supportive for you.


 
I support people going through a broad range of challenges—like anxiety, depression, big life changes, or relationship struggles. I have experience in a range of clinical settings, including university and college counseling. My goal is to create a space where you can bring your full self—your thoughts, your feelings, your questions—without judgment. Together, we’ll build a trusting relationship and work toward meaningful change, both inside and outside of therapy.
 
I look forward to meeting you and starting from wherever you are. We can figure out the next step together.
