Navigating fertility and becoming a mother were profoundly transformative for me, reshaping my sense of self, relationships, and body. My path into parenthood included uncertainty and learning how to live inside a reality that looked different than I had imagined. Motherhood has been a process of reimagining and letting go, allowing the full range of emotions, and holding onto what matters most. Living through that transformation shapes how I show up as a therapist—steady, attuned, and respectful of how much this stage of life asks of people.

My approach as a therapist began in an earlier career as a high school English teacher. I built classroom communities where students explored the human condition through literature and found their own voices as writers. I saw how much growth was sparked by having a space to talk, reflect, and connect with one another. As I went on to coach teachers and work as a school leadership consultant, I witnessed the same thing. A clear through-line emerged: talking helps, and relationships help. Being understood and emotionally met creates change. As a therapist, I work at the heart of that process, one relationship at a time.

I spent most of my adult life living in New York City and now live in the town where I grew up, outside Philadelphia, with my husband and two children. My private practice spans both the New York City and Philadelphia metro areas.
