“I strive to nurture a collaborative therapeutic relationship that is grounded in warmth, compassion, and authenticity.”

Having been on the other side of the couch, I understand how powerful and transformative it can be to not have to hold everything on your own. For those who have grown up highly sensitive and anxious, this often translates into an innate ability to connect deeply with others. It is important to recognize that the same level of care shown to others is equally deserved. It is not comfortable, nor sustainable, to set ourselves on fire to keep those around us warm. I feel privileged to be able to walk alongside clients as they create a path that is supportive and prosperous.

I strive to nurture a collaborative therapeutic relationship that is grounded in warmth, compassion, and authenticity. My therapeutic approach is informed by psychodynamic, attachment, mindfulness, and relational principles. I am insight-oriented and trauma- informed, and work with a client’s existing strengths to lead to a more fulfilling life. I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Clinical Social Work at the University of Pennsylvania. I have notable experience in working with teens and young adults navigating concerns related to ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, individuation, relational/family concerns, and life transitions.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is essential to be able to cultivate an environment where clients can express themselves wholeheartedly. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space to broaden a client’s perspective to recognize and adapt patterns that can hinder their daily quality of life. I am passionate about working with young adults, college students, and those who are curious about/identify as neurodivergent. I look forward to meeting you!

Kind Words From Real Patients

“No practice has helped me the way Therapy for Women has.”

“I have been to many therapists for trauma work but no practice has helped me the way Therapy for Women has. This practice is based on mutual trust. Your therapist will happily share bits of their own life experiences. This always makes me feel less alone in what I am experiencing and make sessions feel so comfortable. I really think this practice is something special and I am SO happy I found it when I did.”

“Therapy for Women empowers clients to see change in themselves.

“Therapy for Women offers a fresh and modern approach to therapy which involves empowering clients to see change in themselves. They give you tools to supplement what’s talked about in session so you can go home and practice life skills. This step has been so crucial for my long-term recovery and emotional stability. The therapists genuinely care for each client. No matter why you go to Therapy for Women, these women WILL change your life. I really can’t thank them enough.”

“Therapy for Women has saved my life and then stuck with me to help me rebuild it from the bottom up.”

“In addition to individual therapy, I'm in a weekly group. I've created wonderful friendships here. It's also functioned as a safe space for me to experiment with things like stating my needs, getting vulnerable, setting boundaries, and receiving feedback from a non-therapist. Therapy for Women has saved my life and then stuck with me to help me rebuild it from the bottom up.”

“They just genuinely care about their patients.”

"I found this center when I needed it most in life. They matched me with a few therapists and first time was a charm. The center itself is very quick to act if you need anything. I see a psychiatrist within the practice as well and he too is amazing. They just genuinely care about their patients. You don’t feel like a time slot to them."

“…the very first therapist they hooked me up with was my perfect match.”

"Finding the right therapist is the hardest journey when you are already at your worst. I've tried multiple and none were working for me. But then I was told about Therapy for Women Center and the very first therapist they hooked me up with was my perfect match. We've been together coming on 2 years and she has really been amazing."

“The office has a soothing atmosphere, you immediately feel comfortable and at ease.”

"Happy to have found Therapy for Women Center. I can feel a change in my thinking and lifestyle and it is a huge difference from a year ago. So grateful! The office has a soothing atmosphere, you immediately feel comfortable and at ease."
