As a psychologist, educator and clinical consultant, my work centers on a core question:
What interferes with living, feeling and relating authentically?
Whether through shame-informed psychotherapy or clinical consultation and training, my approach values the repair of relational fractures and reconnection with one’s purpose and meaning.

Understanding and working with shame as a guide for healing, growth, and learning
Welcome
Hello! I’m so glad you found your way to my website.
I am a Philadelphia-based licensed psychologist, educator, and clinical consultant specializing in shame theory, attachment, and values-aligned living. With extensive experience in private practice and a diverse range of settings, I bring a humanistic sensibility to my work with individuals, relationships, and organizations looking to heal from ruptures, trauma and loss and deepen connection. For the past several years, I have specialized in the clinical application of shame theory, developing trainings to help therapists treat shame in their clients and navigate it within themselves.
I believe the path to a more compassionate and just world starts with building a bridge to authenticity—allowing us to feel truly seen and worthy of belonging and mattering. When that bridge begins to fracture, knowing how to recognize the weak spots and rebuild that sturdiness is essential. But rebuilding can’t be done alone. I hope I can be a partner with you in repairing that bridge.
Whether you are looking for psychotherapy or assessment, or are a psychotherapist, group practice owner or clinical director interested in further deepening your own or your team’s therapeutic skills, you can get in touch with with me here to set up an initial consultation. I am based in Philadelphia, PA, and also licensed in NY and credentialed to practice virtually in over 40 Psypact states.
I look forward to connecting!
