Individual and Couples Therapy in Philadelphia & Telehealth in Pennsylvania

A Space for Care, Reflection, and Meaningful Change

My therapeutic work is grounded in a compassionate, relational style and an unconditional respect for the people I sit with. I approach therapy from a justice-based and trauma-aware perspective, understanding that both harm and healing are shaped by the social, political, and cultural contexts we live in. I think of healing as something made possible through building loving, grounded connection—with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us.

A mindful approach

My practice is also informed by my experience as a mindfulness facilitator in engaged Buddhism and as a trauma-informed yoga teacher. I often work with clients to explore how emotions live in the body and how the body can be a resource in the healing process. Together, we pay attention to patterns, sensations, and the stories held in the nervous system, integrating both somatic and relational approaches.

Who I work with

I work with individuals across identities and experiences, but I specialize in therapy for trauma, anxiety, surviving intimate partner or sexual violence, and the impacts of chronic illness or disability. I have extensive experience working with people of color, mixed-race clients, and queer and trans community members, as well as activists, organizers, and healers who are navigating fatigue or the emotional weight of care work in contexts of structural violence.

Couples Therapy for queer, poly and cross difference relationships

In addition to individual therapy, I also offer couples therapy, with a focus on supporting queer partnerships, both monogamous and polyamorous, and on supporting couples who are navigating intimacy across difference, whether cultural, sexual, or experiential.

A thoughtful and expensive approach grounded in scholarship

I am a licensed clinical social worker, as well as a scholar, where my research deepens and expands my therapeutic lens. Outside of work, you can usually find me near the ocean, practicing jiu jitsu, reading feminist science fiction, or daydreaming with my friends. I look forward to welcoming you exactly as you are.
