I’ve always been drawn to lives lived off-script, the stories that don't follow the conventional arc but are rich with meaning, curiosity, and depth.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade working in medical social work at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. I supported children and families facing life-threatening diagnoses, sat with grief and uncertainty, and worked alongside healthcare providers navigating burnout and compassion fatigue. 

As I began shaping my life in unconventional ways, leaving my job and moving across the world to Paris, I learned that living intentionally often means redefining what “success” and “stability” mean, and learning to sit with the discomfort that comes from doing things differently.

When I’m not working, I’m often tucked into a café with a book, exploring the layers of history and culture that make a place feel alive, or unwinding with friends over a glass of wine.
