About My Clients

I tend to work with individuals exploring relationships. This might mean their relationship to themselves with feelings of depression, anxiety or self-critique, exploring the vastness of queerness, and making sense of dueling desires. It also can mean dissecting relationships of one's past or digging into current relationships (friends/romantic/queer-platonic). I do this in individual therapy as well as with partner(s). I work most often with teenagers and adults.

My Background and Approach

I hope to hold the history of when you’ve been harmed or done harm and to figure out what we do about all of that. We’ll do this by making meaning of experiences and patterns of the past and exploring what this means for the present. I tend to do this by sitting with you in the weight of it all and offering moments of lightness through humor and perspective. I also believe that our experiences occur within the impact of systems. The more we disentangle our understanding of how systems interact, the better equipped we are to move within or on from them. I am currently taking new clients in PA & DE. I see clients in-person in Philadelphia or online via telehealth. Let me know what works best for you!
