(Wyndmoor Office and Telehealth)
I provide psychotherapy for adults of all ages and young people ages 14 and up. I work with individuals, couples, and groups. I work collaboratively with clients to help them gain insight into their current challenges in the context of what has already happened in life. Together, we explore what is working and how to build on it, as well as how to let go of patterned responses to difficulty that no longer serve them. My goal is to support clients as they navigate through healing and growth towards a life with less confusion and distress, and more compassion, connection, and joy.
My clinical interests are working with people experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, identity development, loss, and life transitions. My approach is developmental, culturally-attuned, strengths-based and trauma-informed, and I draw on therapeutic approaches that are relational, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and mindfulness-based. Before returning to school for clinical social work training at Bryn Mawr College, I earned a PhD in learning and human development from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and worked for many years as an educator and researcher. I am also a lifelong student of mindfulness and contemplative practice. I facilitate mindfulness and compassion courses and workshops for healthcare professionals, educators, and the public, including as a Certified Teacher of the Mindful Self-Compassion program.
