I specialize in supporting highly sensitive people who are navigating shame, emotional intensity, and low self-esteem. Many of my clients carry the belief that they are either “too much” or “not enough,” and have learned to hide parts of themselves in order to feel safe, accepted, or loved.

My practice is also well-suited to individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction, mood fluctuations, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and identity-related concerns. I also work extensively with relational issues, including attachment wounds, family conflict, and trauma rooted in early relationships.

In addition to individual therapy, I am passionate about working with couples and other dyads who are struggling to connect, communicate, or repair.

I work with couples, family members, and non-traditional pairings using an eclectic blend of therapeutic approaches, including techniques taken from Imago and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). My foundation in relational psychoanalysis informs how I understand and navigate relational ruptures. I'm deeply interested in what draws people back to one another despite cycles of conflict and pain, and I believe that our closest relationships often hold the greatest potential for healing. My practice affirms and honors all sexualities and relationship structures.

I earned my Master in Social Service from the Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research at Bryn Mawr College, and completed my graduate training at Haverford College’s Counseling and Psychological Center—a program steeped in the interpersonal psychoanalytic tradition. I am currently a candidate psychoanalyst at the Institute for Relational Psychoanalysis of Philadelphia, and I serve on the board as Director-at-Large of the Philadelphia Society for Psychoanalytic Psychology.

As a lifelong learner with a reverence for the art and craft at the heart of therapy, I remain engaged in ongoing supervision and consultation. Practically, this also aligns with my obligation as a provisionally licensed therapist; I currently practice under the supervision of a licensed clinical social worker.

For this type of therapy to be effective, it is important that we meet on a regular basis. I offer weekly sessions as a standard, with the option for more frequent meetings for those seeking a more intensive therapeutic experience. Each client is given a standing appointment time to support continuity and routine in the work.

I offer both in-person and virtual psychotherapy. You can meet with me at my office near Rittenhouse Square or at my office in West Philadelphia. I also offer virtual sessions to clients residing throughout New York and Pennsylvania using a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform to ensure your privacy.

Individual sessions are $150 per 50 minute session, and couples sessions are $165 per 50 minute session.

For groups and families rates are established on a case by case basis.

I am currently accepting clients insured through Aetna in Pennsylvania.

For many other insurance plans, I operate as an out-of-network provider. Most major insurance plans offer partial reimbursement for out-of-network services once your annual deductible has been met. If you're seeking reimbursement, it is possible that I may be able to provide a monthly statement (otherwise known as a “superbill”) detailing the services provided.

If you plan to use out-of-network benefits, I recommend reaching out to your insurance provider in advance to confirm your mental health coverage, understand your deductible, and find out what portion of the fee may be reimbursed. Please reach out concerning specific plans if you would like to pursue this option together.

Yes, I offer reduced rates for individuals facing financial barriers to paying the full fee.

Sliding scale rates are determined through an open conversation about your current financial situation, with the goal of making therapy accessible while respecting the value of our work together.

If you have questions about the fee structure or are unsure whether you qualify for a reduced rate, please don’t hesitate to reach out to discuss your options.
