Hi, I’m Anastasia

I’m a therapist who works with couples and adult individuals navigating relationship struggles, big life transitions, and the deep, often painful questions that come with both. Whether you're facing the fallout of infidelity, feeling disconnected after years together, or trying to find your way through a season of uncertainty, I offer a space that’s calm, compassionate, and centered on what matters most to you.

I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Bryn Mawr Graduate School of Social Work and Social Services. My education gave me a strong foundation in systems thinking—meaning I don’t just look at what's happening inside of you, but also the relationships, history, and environment that shape your experience. It’s not just about “what’s wrong,” but about what happened, what’s happening now, and what could be different. Additionally, I am a member of the following:

Before opening my private practice, I worked with children and families in crisis and spent time supporting psychiatric patients in the emergency room. These experiences taught me how to sit with people in intense pain and help them feel safe, seen, and supported—even when life feels overwhelming or uncertain.

In my work today, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help both individuals and couples get to the heart of what’s really going on beneath the surface—because the patterns we fall into usually make sense once we understand what’s underneath. EFT is all about creating stronger emotional connection: to others, and to yourself.

Therapy with me is collaborative, down-to-earth, and never judgmental. I’ll be right there with you as you untangle what’s keeping you stuck and move toward the kind of connection, clarity, and calm you’re looking for.

When I’m not in the therapy room, you’ll probably find me in the garden, on my bike, or sharing a slow meal with my husband and close friends. These moments of grounding, laughter, and connection remind me of why I do this work—and why relationships, in all their complexity, are so worth tending to.

I offer both in-person sessions and virtual therapy for clients anywhere in Pennsylvania. If you're ready to begin or even just curious, I’d be honored to connect with you.
