Do emotions take over and exhaust you? Have people marveled at how resilient you are or mentioned your sensitivity as a liability? Maybe you sometimes wonder if you’re the only one who is seeing the hurt and pain all around.
If any of this speaks to you, I relate and I can help.
Individual Therapy
****At this time I do not have openings for new clients. You are welcome to reach out to me and I can notify you if something becomes available in the near future.
I invite you to learn more about my style (see right column) and pricing options (see below).
I see clients both in person (in NW Philly) and virtually.
My practice is body oriented and trauma informed. I integrate various evidence-based interventions to support clients in establishing a sense of deep connection to self, others and sustaining well-being. I love to work with children, adolescents, and young adults who are interested in creative and somatic approaches to therapy.
I see clients who are experiencing a range of mental health challenges. I am especially familiar with anxiety, grief, burn-out, persistent depression, relational stressors, survivors of sexual trauma, and those navigating life as an artist. I align with clients whose identities and values defy society's conventional norms. My practice is trauma-informed, and I am dedicated to an anti-oppression, anti-racist, body positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming and equitable lens.
I am a process-oriented therapist, which means I emphasize the felt experience of therapy over cognitive skill building. I integrate various somatic practices, talk therapy, and expressive arts therapy. See below for more information about the modalities I draw from. The integration of these practices ensure that the client's therapeutic experience is present in mind, body, and spirit.
