Therapy for Deep Thinkers & Sensitive Souls
Holistic, somatic psychotherapy in-person in Fishtown, Philadelphia and online for residents of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware
Underneath the success, ambition, and achievements that people see…
You’re struggling to ask for what you need, longing for deeper connections, and craving more ease in your life.
You worry—a lot, and more than people know. Everything feels high stakes, and you don’t want to let anyone down. You always manage to handle it on your own but, deep down, you wish you didn't have to.
You long to find “your people,” but you’re not sure how to show up and really take off the mask. You often feel like you don’t fit in, or worry that if you showed the real, more “messy” you, it would be too much for people.
You struggle to ask for what you need in your relationships. People-pleasing, ignoring your own boundaries, and trying to “go with the flow” leave you feeling frustrated, stuck, and unseen.
You find yourself stuck in patterns that don’t feel good, but are painfully familiar. You promise yourself you’ll do things differently next time, only to fall into a shame spiral when it happens again.
You desperately need a break, but end up feeling guilty or restless when you try to relax. Yet, all the years of overworking feel like they’re catching up to you.
You already have a lot of self-awareness and you’ve tried to think your way out of all of this already. You need a space to get out of your head so you can address what’s at the root of the places you keep getting stuck.
Hi, I’m Virginia (she/her).
I’m so glad you’re here.
I help ambitious women stuck in cycles of people-pleasing and endless achieving reclaim their space in the world, show up authentically in relationships, and discover joy, connection, and the trust that they are already enough.
I believe that when we begin to listen to the voice inside of you that yearns for more, we can use it as a guide to create the life you want.
Through holistic and body-based therapy, we can go beyond just talking about what’s not working and instead address what’s at the root of your pain - so you can find healing that lasts.
I specialize in:
01
Learn to tend to the worries in your mind, the tension in your body, and stress in your relationships to find the calm, confidence and grounding that you crave.

02
Find relief from overwhelm and the feeling that you are “too much.” Learn to befriend your sensitivity, lean into your intuitive gifts and find the deep connections you long for.
03
Break free from cycles of chronic stress and begin to reconnect with what enlivens you, rest in a way that nourishes you, and find the inner permission to believe that you are already enough.
I offer:
-
Somatic therapy is a mind-body approach that helps you to process and release trauma, learn to regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with the ways your system innately knows how to heal.
-
Parts work is a compassionate, intuitive approach that invites us to get to know all the different parts of who you so you can embrace the wise Self within.
-
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is an attachment-based approach that invites us to transform difficult emotions and past traumas into sources of healing and connection.
