As a Philadelphia-based Certified Sex Therapist and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of advanced training and experience, I specialize in helping high-achieving couples move beyond disconnection, repeating conflicts, and intimacy struggles to achieve lasting, meaningful change. I work with accomplished partners who want to move beyond surface-level fixes and build deeper trust and renewed passion in their relationships.
My Approach:
I blend warmth with direct, outcome-driven guidance. Using attachment-based, trauma-informed, and process-oriented therapy, I support couples in moving past old patterns into emotional intimacy and a secure, sustainable foundation—one that can weather both the boardroom and the bedroom.
Clients describe me as “real” in session—compassionate, validating, and also willing to challenge and hold you accountable to your goals. This balance helps couples feel heard and understood while gaining practical tools and new experiences that create lasting second-order change: the kind of transformation that reshapes how you connect at your core.
Therapy Models & Signature Framework:
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
- IMAGO Relationship Therapy
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy
- Relational Life Therapy (RLT)
- The Better You Blueprint (my signature framework)
First-Order vs. Second-Order Change:
- First-order change involves behavioral shifts, doing more of what works, less of what doesn’t. It is ‘top-down processing.’
- Second-order change is deeper: it transforms your patterns, worldview, and emotional experience by resetting your nervous system. This is where real, lasting growth happens. This is ‘bottom-up processing.’
Process-Oriented/ Experiential Therapy:
Rather than just talking about your challenges, I help you and your partner create new experiences in the session through moments of connection, repair, and understanding. We slow the conversation to uncover patterns and attachment history underlying your conflicts, turning unspoken needs and fears into opportunities for healing and growth.
Whether you’re seeking weekly therapy or a Philadelphia couples therapy intensive, this process-oriented work provides a blueprint for genuine repair, reconnection, and thriving together.

For couples seeking faster breakthroughs, I also offer couples therapy intensives in Philadelphia, focused, immersive sessions that allow you to work through patterns in real time without the stop-and-start of weekly therapy. Intensives give couples the opportunity to fully engage the process, reach clarity, and leave with renewed connection and concrete tools to sustain change long after.
Your Philadelphia Intensive Couple’s Package includes:
- Complete assessments through questionnaires and open-ended surveys
- A workbook to follow along and fill out to have as a reminder and accountability tool
- Each partner will get one individual therapy session (50 minutes each)
- A personalized plan for the intensive session
- 3 or 4 hour intensive to do a deep dive into your root pattern and healing
- Aftercare plan
A 3-hour intensive package is $2,000, and a 4-hour intensive is $2,400. For couples continuing with additional intensives (who have already completed the initial evaluation), the investment is $900 for a 3-hour session and $1,200 for a 4-hour session.
Availability is limited and scheduled based on need, with appointments booked at least one month in advance. A 50% deposit is required at the time of booking, and the remaining balance is due one week prior to your intensive.
