About My Clients
Productivity, high expectations and performance, showing up for others, and self-reliance may be socially acceptable but also contribute to overfunctioning, burnout, validation-seeking, imposter syndrome, harsh inner critic, compartmentalization, dissociation, self-abandonment, codependency, hypervigilance, and emotional over-regulation. Perhaps you can be rigid and controlling, judgmental and impatient, concerned with status, feel both too much and not enough, or chronically lonely.
My Background and Approach
My clients typically seek support around life stages and transitions, career issues, relationships, polyamory and non-monogamy, gender, sexuality, identity, intersectionality, and neurodivergence. With an eclectic, integrative approach, we'll explore distressing thought patterns, events and experiences that are contributing factors, and ways to regulate emotions and remain present. I am trained in highly effective therapies targeting OCD and complex trauma, have specialization in substance use and gambling, and apply attachment, anti-oppressive, feminist/queer, and body/sex-positive lenses. I have an interactive, relational style and hold an affirming space for a collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. With over a decade of experience I can also provide clinical supervision for LSW’s and am a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor in PA.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I view mental health holistically, as a component of overall wellness, affecting and affected by our physical, emotional, spiritual health, as well as the relationships, communities, and cultures we are connected with. I see clients at my office in Philadelphia and am able to offer telehealth services to clients in Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Vermont. Seeking support is a sign of strength, you are not a burden, and you deserve care. It’s an honor and privilege to walk beside and guide clients along their healing journey.
