Life transitions
A new chapter, a change in a relationship, a move or a loss of the role you knew. We’ll make sense of what’s shifting and what you want next.

Therapy for life’s big changes, serious illness and grief

How I can help
You came here for a reason
Recognizing that you’re struggling is a big step, and reaching out is one of the bravest things you can do. These are the areas I focus on.
Serious illness & cancer
Support for people living with cancer or chronic illness, and for the people who care for them. I hold an advanced certification in palliative and hospice social work.
Grief & loss
Grief doesn’t follow a schedule. Therapy gives you a steady place to move through it at your own pace.
Anxiety & depression
When worry or low mood starts running the show, we look at the deeper issues underneath and build coping skills that help day to day.
Relationships
Patterns with partners, family or friends that keep repeating. We look at what’s happening and what you need.
Stress & feeling stuck
For when you feel overwhelmed or stuck and want to live with a stronger sense of vitality and purpose.
I work one-on-one with adults and older adults (65+).

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience. My work centers on people going through life transitions, seeking personal growth, facing serious illness, and moving through grief and loss.
I approach every client with warmth and compassion, and without judgment. A good therapeutic relationship lets you be seen and heard, and makes room for healing and growth.
If you choose to work with me, together we’ll work toward a future where you feel like the most supported, favorite version of yourself.

Questions
Common questions
Do you take insurance?
I’m an out-of-network provider. I give you a superbill each month that you can send to your insurance for reimbursement, and I can help with extra paperwork if your plan needs it. Estimate what you might pay.
What happens on the free 15-minute call?
It’s a short, no-cost conversation to see if we’re a good fit. Tell me a little about what’s going on, and ask anything about how I work, fees or scheduling.
Can we meet online?
Yes. I offer teletherapy for clients in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Delaware. In-person sessions are in Manayunk and Lafayette Hill.
Who do you work with?
Adults and older adults, one-on-one. I also supervise Pennsylvania social workers working toward their LCSW.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. What you share stays between us, with a few exceptions required by law, like a serious risk of harm. We’ll go over these at the start.
