ONLINE THERAPY ACROSS PA & NJ

in-person in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia

Helping you create an aligned life, filled with connection, kindness, and meaning.

Compassionate therapy services for women and moms who want to dig in deep so they can break free from anxiety, start loving their relationships, and navigate the bumps of life transitions.

Does this sound familiar?

Inner peace, self-acceptance, ha! That sounds nice… maybe for someone else, but definitely not for me.

What if there was a way to slow down, tune in… and it felt good? Like a breath of fresh air?

 What if you became friends with your feelings?

Does it feel like you have to always stay busy,  push through or distract yourself so you don’t get swallowed up by worry and fear? Ease, connection, and contentment are nice words that just don’t apply to you? 

Somewhere along your path, anxiety, disconnection, and self-doubt became your status quo. Your relationships either feel lackluster or downright distressing. Big life changes like grieving a loss, a new job, or getting married, feel insurmountable. Maybe you’re becoming a mom, and now your worry and guilt are on overdrive.

This change probably feels scary, and also a little exciting. You know deep down that you want to live a connected, meaningful, and joyful life. You want to break free from all the “shoulds” and “have tos”. You’re ready to learn that kindness towards yourself and others can be both gentle and strong.  With support, you can unlearn unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that hold you back.

You can make changes that help your relationships flourish and take power back from anxiety.
