Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“My approach to counseling is realistic, down-to-earth, compassionate, and very human. I frequently work with LGBTQ2IA+ folks, viewing the process of self-exploration from a queer-affirmative lens, grounded in radical empowerment. I also specialize in substance use issues, college related stress, trauma and depression.”

About Me

My Counseling approach is realistic, down-to-earth, and very human, creating a compassionate space for self-exploration. I frequently support LGBTQ2IA+ individuals, empowering their self-exploration from a queer-affirmative lens. We also explore challenges like substance use, college stress, trauma, and depression. Clients seeking an understanding, dedicated partner will find a safe space to navigate life's complexities.

Approach

I keep sessions grounded and approachable, guiding curiosity into practical choices and compassionate accountability. In my Philadelphia office or online, we set a steady pace—short check-ins, deeper processing, and agreed actions between meetings. For folks navigating identity, addiction, shame, or the pressures of college and young adulthood, I combine trauma-aware listening, skill-building, and collaborative problem-solving to reduce overwhelm. People who want honest, practical companionship in figuring things out often find this approach helpful.
