About Me
Welcome, I am so glad you’re here! My joy in being a therapist has always been rooted in my passion for people, helping them find and tell their own stories. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that you are worthy and enough, supporting you in finding your autonomy and recognizing your resilience. I believe that we are all learning how to come home to ourselves throughout the therapy process, and I am so honored to walk alongside you on that journey. You have the capacity for growth and healing.
In our sessions, you will find affirmation, exploration, authenticity, humor, and connection. It’s important to me that our space can be one of growth and processing, and also of safety and celebration. I am passionate about making therapy feel conversational; there is no plan to do the “lay on the couch while my therapist goes ‘mmhmm’ while writing notes for an hour.” This is your space too, let’s take it on collaboratively!
Growing up outside of Chicago, heading to undergrad at the University of South Carolina (go Gamecocks!), going to Pitt for grad school, and landing in Philly have led me to have a wide range of lived experiences, characterized by the ups and downs that come with being a human being. Outside of work, I am a lover of crocheting, trying to keep my plant collection alive, thrifting, building my personal library, and exploring new spots in the city.
