Attachment-Focused and Trauma Therapy

Therapy in Philadelphia and virtual therapy across Pennsylvania

You’re here because you’re exhausted—not just tired, but worn down by anxiety that never shuts off, perfectionism that keeps moving the goalposts, and masking so well that no one sees how much you’re struggling.

You’re the reliable one

The competent one

The one who holds everything together, yet you’re never the priority

Hyper-independence kept you safe once, but now you’re burned out, overwhelmed, and lonely. Past pain—trauma, grief, breakups, family conflict—still lives in your body and shows up in your relationships. You crave connection but feel guarded and unsure how to feel safe with others.

You’ve tried coping skills, gaining more insight, and pushing through… and it hasn’t worked.

Because this pain isn’t just in your thoughts—it’s in your nervous system.

Real healing comes from slowing down, listening deeply, and working with the root of what’s keeping you stuck so lasting change is finally possible.

Same sky, different light. Navigate your path toward healing, one step at a time.

At Illuminated Pathways, therapy is about more than managing symptoms. It’s about healing at the root, connecting with your authentic self, and creating meaningful, lasting change.

Therapeutic Specialties

You may be seeking therapy for the first time or maybe you’ve already tried therapy and self-help strategies but still feel something deeper needs healing. I’m here to support you in finding out if I am the right fit for you.

I provide trauma-informed, relational therapy for adults who:

  • Feel stuck in anxiety, perfectionism, or emotional overwhelm

  • Are experiencing burnout, work related stressors that impact life outside of work, and vicarious trauma

  • Carry unresolved trauma from abuse, neglect, or sexual assault in childhood or adulthood

  • Struggle with self-esteem, shame, or frequent difficulties in relationships

  • Identify as cycle-breakers that are healing from years of family conflict, childhood abuse, and neglect

  • Are navigating major life transitions such as career transitions, divorce, graduating from college, moving, or challenges adjusting to living with new roommates or romantic partners

  • Want therapy that goes deeper than surface-level coping skills
