I offer in-person (Fishtown and Northern Liberties) & telehealth appointments.
I am a humanistic and trauma-sensitive therapist who believes that individuals have the innate power to heal and grow on a path of their own determination. I know we do not exist in a vacuum and that people are products of their context. I provide a non-judgmental space to explore what has happened in your life, not to determine what is “wrong” with you. My clinical point of view is feminist, sex-positive, trauma-sensitive, anti-oppressive, and harm-reductionist.
I treat trauma and PTSD, relationship and attachment concerns, depression, anxiety including social anxiety, life transitions, and identity issues. Additionally, I have experience working with existential concerns, spirituality, religious trauma, and sexual trauma. I believe that reclaiming our sexuality following trauma or abuse is a necessary part of recovery.
I have experience working with people in the perinatal and postpartum periods and across the lifespan.
I specialize in the following areas:
- Infertility
- Termination for Medical Reasons (TFMR)
- Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)
- Anxiety and depression during pregnancy and postpartum
- Birth trauma and giving birth after physical or sexual trauma
- Adjustment to parenthood and returning to work or school
- Sexuality after becoming a parent
- Menopause
Other areas of specialty are:
- Non-monogamy
- LGBTQIA+
- Overcoming sexual trauma or abuse
- Artists, dancers, musicians, and body-based professionals
- Questioning identity, sexuality, vocation, career, or religion
- Religious trauma
- Struggling with cheating, betrayal, grief, and loss
- Partners of people with perinatal mental health issues and infertility
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in professional dance companies for ten years. I have extensive experience supporting artists getting projects off the ground and to completion. I am a lifelong Philadelphian, a mom, and a fan of non-fiction.
I encourage you to reach out for a consultation call to start our work together if you think we may be a good fit.
