About Me

There’s a real person behind this profile too! I consider myself an adventurer, a storyteller, a spiritual seeker, and a nerd. I’m married to a wonderful, non-binary artist, and am the parent of about thirty happy houseplants, two rascally rats, and one bashful ball python. 

During downtime I enjoy hiking through Valley Forge, window shopping in the mall, playing D&D with my spouse and friends, and spending cozy afternoons making art with a cup of hot tea close by.

Why I Became A Therapist

From a young age, I was fascinated by people—by the patterns that shape how we think, feel, and behave. That curiosity grew into a passion for helping others make sense of their inner worlds. As a teenager, I was the ā€œtherapist friend,ā€ always ready to listen, often sharing insights I’d learned in my own therapy. The sense of fulfillment I felt when I saw others find clarity or relief eventually led me to pursue education in psychology, igniting a lifelong appreciation for the transformative work of therapeutic practice.

For me, therapy is not about fixing people. It’s about walking beside them, helping them explore their minds, understand themselves, and create meaning in their own lives, supporting them as they move toward healing in ways that are authentic to them.

How I Work

As a holistic psychotherapist, I focus on mental, physical, and spiritual wellness, empowering my clients as they journey toward their own version of healing. With each individual, I tailor my therapeutic methods and provide a safe space to create genuine, lasting connections.

Being both genderfluid and queer, I am able to use my personal experience as I work with transgender and gender-questioning clients and their loved ones as they navigate their shifting relationships. Additionally, I work with individuals within alternative spiritualities, helping them move through religious trauma and guiding them toward their version of a healthy spiritual life. In sessions I will:

What to Expect (first 1–2 sessions)



Session One

Introduce myself and explain my methods and modalities

Get a sense of your triggers and concerns, what brought you to therapy

Ask a series of intake questions, being attentive of your triggers

Schedule you for regular sessions to ensure you a space in my schedule



Session Two

Discuss further your reason and goals for attending therapy

Explore your background and relationships with important people in more depth

Analyze overarching themes you see repeated in your life and mental health

Co-create a Treatment Plan so you will know what we are working on in sessions
