In 2016, I found myself on a 13-hour flight, traveling over 5,000 miles across the world, leaving behind my family, friends, and the only life I had known for twenty-three years. I came to Philadelphia with a dream: to become a marriage and family therapist and, one day, build a practice of my own.
Today, I’m honored to show up with that same curiosity, passion, and courage in my work; creating a space where healing, growth, and meaningful change can begin. I’m so glad you’re here. Being trusted with someone’s story is something I hold with great care and respect.
I specialize in helping adult individuals and couples navigate relationship challenges, including communication breakdowns, affair recovery and betrayal trauma, emotional and sexual disconnection, and the lasting impact of emotionally immature or narcissistic family systems; helping you rebuild trust, deepen connection, and feel more secure in your relationships.
I invite you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation to see if working together feels like the right fit.
