Welcome.

Reaching out for therapy can feel like an intimidating leap - embarrassment, fear, and vulnerability often come with the territory. Finding the right therapist can sometimes feel like a process so stressful and complicated that it might require therapy in itself.

You have taken a huge first step simply by landing on this site in hopes of finding a provider who is a good fit for you. If you’re here, it suggests you’ve survived endless online searches, countless phone calls and phone tag, emails and dead-ends, and some amount of agonizing decision-making. You are very ready for the next step. 

Whether you’re seeking therapy in Philadelphia, or remote therapy throughout Pennsylvania and Delaware, or coaching unbound by state lines, you’re here because you are ready to move toward a more balanced, expansive, fulfilling, and authentic life. Some part of you knows you deserve to be cherished and supported. Other parts might be frustrated that it took this long, while also angry that you couldn't just handle everything on your own. Maybe you're even annoyed—because reaching out for help can feel like admitting defeat. Asking for help? Ugh! It’s the worst.

Unfortunately, growth doesn’t happen in a vacuum (I’m trained to provide therapy and coaching to humans, not fungi, plants or bacteria, though even those can't grow in a vacuum). Healing and personal development require connection, understanding, and sometimes, the kind of support and containment that only a trained professional can offer. 

You don’t just want someone who’s LGBTQ+ affirming - you want someone who is genuinely competent, and can bring lived experience to the table. You want a therapist or coach who’s not just familiar with your experience on an intellectual level and has been to a few diversity trainings so is now "an expert," but someone who can also provide empathy and support from a place of knowing and honoring there are joys that can come along with the struggles. It would be refreshing to have a therapist or coach who you don’t have to educate about your social location.

In our work together, we’ll collaborate to cultivate compassion, connection, and commitment—toward yourself, and toward others. Whether you seek emotional healing, personal development, skills to communicate more effectively, life coaching, or support through loss, I am available to provide the guidance you need to move forward in your life.

I offer competent queer/LGBTQ+ therapy and coaching for those who want real, meaningful change without having to justify their identity or educate their provider. If you're ready, I’m here to support you, whether in person in Philadelphia, remotely across Pennsylvania or Delaware, or anywhere with a phone or wifi through coaching.
