As a therapist, I am curious, honest, and casual in my communication. Through a collaborative approach, I will work with you to create a space to explore yourself further — in Philadelphia.
More Info
I specialize in both individual and couples therapy with a particular interest in relational healing, sexual empowerment, and identity work. I am passionate about building a space that is inclusive, authentic, and attuned to you. I am queer/gender-affirming, sex-positive, kink/BDSM-affirming, and fat-positive.

My Approach
Holistic & Strength-Based
I work with individuals and couples to move toward goals with evidence-based practices, teaching the skills necessary for increasing overall health and happiness. My work moves beyond the traditional pathological root of psychotherapy and toward a holistic, strength-based, systemic, salutogenic approach.
Narrative & Psychodynamic
To support the discovery of new perspectives, I might ask you to re-imagine your experiences with a new lens. I believe the past is ripe for insight, and I believe in nurturing all parts of ourselves: past, present, and future.
Relational & Attachment
Humans are social creatures, and connection is vital to progressing from surviving to thriving. I'm on the side of self-love, AND I believe our relationships offer a crucial opportunity to grow and know ourselves better. All ties, including the therapeutic relationship, are a new laboratory for exploration and healing. Every relationship holds answers to the mysteries in ourselves.
Somatic & Body-Based
I believe your body is experiencing as much as your brain and heart. That means exploring how to be attuned to and work with the physical sensations you experience, especially how they relate to your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.
What to Expect
A Collaborative Process
I work with individuals and couples to move toward goals with evidence-based practices, teaching the skills necessary for increasing overall health and happiness. My work moves beyond the traditional pathological root of psychotherapy and toward a holistic, strength-based, systemic, salutogenic approach.
Mind, Body & Nutrition
We will discuss nutrition, sleep, exercise, and restorative practices to promote mind and body health. I aim to help you center yourself in your individual and relational healing as we develop the tools to process complicated feelings, thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
Liberation-Focused
I utilize liberation-focused therapy, especially as it pertains to sex and sexual relationships. We are ever-changing beings with the capacity for multitudes. In therapy, I address the complexity and beauty of spectrums and their intersectionality as they pertain to you — fostering agentic acts through creating new patterns and building essential skills with care, compassion, and support.
