I am a licensed psychotherapist specializing in anxiety disorders, OCD, trauma, and life transitions for children, adolescents, and adults. I provide warm, collaborative, and evidence-based therapy to help clients create meaningful, lasting change.
My approach combines compassion with active, goal-oriented work. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for growth, and I strive to create a space where every client feels safe, respected, and fully accepted. I tailor each treatment plan to the individual, drawing from a range of modalities to meet your unique needs and goals.
My clinical work is informed by advanced training in attachment theory, psychoanalysis, child and adolescent therapy, play therapy, couples therapy, and family systems. I also incorporate specialized approaches for anxiety and OCD, including SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), to support both individuals and families.
In my practice, I help clients navigate complex emotional experiences, including early life experiences, trauma recovery, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I am especially passionate about helping clients understand their stories, build resilience, and create more fulfilling, connected lives.
I cut my teeth as a therapist working in the child welfare system of New York City, in various capacities, for over a decade. I have worked with individuals from all walks of life. In New York, I spent the majority of my career doing field-based work (meaning I saw people in their homes or other natural environments). I worked in penthouse apartments on Park Avenue and family shelters in Hunt’s Point and everything in between. Every one has a unique story and I feel privileged to be invited into so many stories. (This also means: you won’t scare me away. I promise.) Though I now call Pennsylvania home (and have an office that is not a backpack!), I will always be a New Yorker at heart.
I volunteer in animal rescue and animal assisted therapy. My dog, Molly, is a therapy dog, certified by both Alliance of Therapy Dogs and Comfort Caring Canines, and accompanies me to therapy sessions whenever possible/requested. We also volunteer in the local community. Molly especially loves going to schools and libraries!
I live and work in the Schwenksville area of Pennsylvania, and when not working, I can usually be found going on thrift store treasure hunts, or hanging out with my family of humans, cats, and dogs.
