☯️ My approach to therapy is collaborative & personalized to your unique needs. You are the expert of YOU and I appreciate hearing ongoing feedback with what you want & need as that changes over time. I offer online therapy to adults in Florida & Pennsylvania. My approach is trauma-informed, relational-cultural, feminist, & solutions-focused. Empowering burned out women, couples, & college students to heal, recover, & recalibrate life for more joy and alignment is my passion. Check out the link in my bio for more info on working with me to heal, align, & prosper!
