My approach is relational, psychodynamic, collaborative, and deeply engaged. I pay close attention to patterns, emotional shifts, contradictions, relational dynamics, and the things that often sit just beneath the surface of what's being said. I tend to be an active therapist—I ask questions, offer observations, make connections, and check in often about how things are landing emotionally.

At the center of my work is the belief that meaningful therapy happens through relationship. Not because I have all the answers, but because healing often happens when you experience a relationship where you no longer have to edit yourself, make yourself smaller, or pretend you're okay.

Over time, experiences that once felt disconnected begin to fit together. Survival strategies become understandable. Relationship patterns become less mysterious. People often discover that they've been responding to their lives in ways that made far more sense than they ever realized.

I don't think understanding yourself changes everything overnight. But I do think it's one of the most powerful places change begins.

Before entering private practice, I worked across community mental health, crisis services, substance use treatment, psychiatric hospitals, supportive housing, reentry programs, and with young people in the Philadelphia jail system.

That work left me with a deep respect for the complexity of people's lives. Every person I met taught me something different about grief, resilience, relationships, survival, and what it means to keep going when life has asked far too much of you.

I carry those lessons with me into every therapy room.
