About Me

I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Rosemont College in 2018 and have over eight years of experience providing trauma-informed, relational, and skills-based therapy. Since 2023, I’ve been in private practice, following several years of work in community mental health and group practice settings.

I completed formal Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) training through the Treatment Implementation Collaborative in 2017, and DBT continues to be a core part of how I support clients in building emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and meaningful change. My work is integrative and draws from DBT, CBT, psychodynamic, and humanistic approaches.

In addition to my clinical training, I completed the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) Health Coach Training Program. IIN is a comprehensive program that explores nutrition science, lifestyle medicine, behavior change, and the connection between food, stress, relationships, movement, and overall well-being. While I practice as a licensed therapist — not a nutritionist — this training deepened my understanding of how sleep, nourishment, daily rhythms, and nervous system regulation influence mental health. It continues to inform my whole-person lens, especially when supporting clients with anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and burnout.

Some of the areas I work with include anxiety, depression, trauma, borderline personality disorder and BPD features, gender-related distress, and nervous system dysregulation. I approach therapy with warmth, honesty, and respect.

Before becoming a licensed professional counselor, I spent many years teaching yoga (and still do!) and working as an editor for publishing companies, medical journals, blogs—even cookbooks, which was especially fun. My love of language continues to shape the way I connect with people. These days, I feel grateful to spend my time in meaningful conversations.

In addition to my clinical work, I serve on the Board of Therapy First, a collaborative network of mental health professionals committed to whole-person approaches to gender distress.

I currently lead Chair Yoga classes at Jennifer’s Leaf Yoga & Wellness in Philadelphia.
