About Me
“Behind every great relationship are difficult and uncomfortable conversations we rarely get to see. Great relationships don’t just fall into our laps. They require people to move through their fears and insecurities and do the hard work to move wounds into healing.”
– Vienna Pharaon
It takes strength to ask for help.
Healing doesn’t come easily or lightly. Therapy can be a very difficult process, but when one trusts the process and moves through the discomfort, the rewards can last a lifetime. The most important part of this healing is the therapeutic relationship, and I work hard to maintain a balance of comfort (with me) and discomfort (that comes with growth) to help you achieve your goals.
Therapy is a collaborative process. I place you as the expert in your life and help you to identify patterns and responses that have led you to where you are today. These behaviors may have been valuable to you at the time, and you may now be realizing that they are no longer serving you. Together we take the stigma out of your past actions and help you to build a better way of coping moving forward.
Be the expert in your own life.
Education & Training
Pursuing deeper understanding of sexuality and systemic change, I completed my Master’s in Social Work and Master’s in Education in Human Sexuality Studies at Widener University. I hold a Certificate in Social Work and Trauma Practice, and am trained in EMDR.
Clinical Leadership & Expertise
As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist Supervisor and approved AASECT CE provider, I bring specialized expertise in sex therapy, sexuality development, and relationship healing. I’ve presented on these topics at state and national conferences, including the AASECT Annual Conference, SXSWEdu, and the first-ever NC SexCon, and I regularly guest-lecture in clinical sex therapy graduate programs and have taught Sex Therapy II at the post-graduate level.
Building the Field
I’m deeply invested in developing the next generation of therapists. As co-founder of the PhilaTherapy Network, I support emerging sex and relationship therapists in the Philadelphia area. In my role as co-president of the PSCSW, I work to advance clinical social work practice and standards.
Community Practice
I founded the Moorestown Therapy Collective with a group of therapists who share my commitment to strengths-based, resiliency-focused care that centers identity, honors trauma, and challenges systems that marginalize. Together, we’re building a practice where all people, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, relationship structure, or neurodivergence, can access care that truly sees them.
Specialties
I specialize in gender exploration, questions, and issues; ADHD; anxiety; parenting; relationship therapy; youth and adolescent sexual health; trauma-informed practices; and childhood sexual abuse.
Mission & Vision
My Approach I believe that healing happens in relationship, and that who you are matters more than what you’re struggling with. I offer psychotherapy, counseling, and education grounded in identity affirmation, trauma-informed care, and a strengths-based approach. This means I see your identity, your sexuality, gender, neurodivergence, culture, relationship structure, not as something to work around, but as central to your healing.
Who I Work With I specialize in sexuality and sexual development (for both teens and adults), parenting transitions, family dynamics, relationship challenges, and trauma recovery. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating sexual identity questions, attachment wounds, parenting stress, and the lasting impact of trauma and abuse. I’m particularly dedicated to serving LGBTQIA+ individuals, neurodivergent adults, people in non-traditional relationship structures, and anyone whose identity has been marginalized.
What Healing Can Look Like Whether you’re struggling with anxiety as a parent, processing trauma, reconnecting with sexuality after shame, understanding your child’s development, or building secure relationships, therapy is a space to understand yourself more deeply, recover what’s been lost, and build the life and connections you actually want. You don’t have to shrink yourself, perform, or educate me about your identity. You just have to show up.
Building the Field Beyond my direct clinical work, I’m committed to developing the next generation of therapists who bring these same values into their practice. Through the PhilaTherapy Network, I mentor and support emerging sex and relationship therapists in the Philadelphia region. In my role as co-president of the PSCSW, I work to advance clinical social work practice and advocate for standards of care that center identity affirmation, trauma awareness, and social justice. I believe that individual healing and systemic change are interconnected, and that means we need a field of therapists who are trained not just in technique, but in the commitment to seeing clients fully, understanding how marginalization shapes suffering, and building practices that reflect these values from the ground up.
F.A.Q
Do you accept insurance?
At this time I am moving away from insurance-based clinical work and focusing on intensive psychotherapeutic options that insurance companies usually don’t cover. If you are interested in using your insurance, please reach check out the Moorestown Therapy Collective to work with our diverse, warm, and capable therapists there.
Does therapy have to be long-term?
Therapy can be brief and solution-focused if you need. Often we need to start therapy using this model, especially if you are in crisis. It can be very valuable on its own. However, long-term therapy can provide the benefit of exploring patterns over time which leads you to more significant and lasting change.
Do we have to talk about my mother?
While I don’t think it is ideal to blame all of our problems on our parents, I do like to spend time discovering how your childhood experience has shaped you into the person you are today. Sometimes we will talk about your mother, father, grandparents, siblings, and even early childhood friends. All of these can be important clues into how you are doing now.
What if this is an emergency?
Please hang up and call 911. In all seriousness, as a therapist, I am here to support you through crises as I am available, but I am not able to be available 24/7. If you are experiencing a true mental health emergency, please call 911 or your local emergency mental health services for immediate attention.
