About Me

I'm Sylvie (she/her), a Licensed Professional Counselor in Philadelphia. I received my M.S. in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from Chestnut Hill College. In addition to my private practice, I work at a community mental health center in Philadelphia. When I'm not in the therapist's chair, you can find me out with my husband and our two dogs, trying a new creative hobby like pottery-making or embroidery, or checking out my next book from the library!

My Philosophy

I believe in therapy as an incredibly unique and special relationship that can transform us in the smallest or hugest ways. 

Each day when we go out into the world, our past is traveling right alongside us. In therapy, we take the time to pause and reflect on how that past may be showing up today. Do we avoid conflict with others at the expense of our own needs? Have we become perfectionists, fearing failure above all else? Are we hiding parts of who we are because of fear of shame, hurt, or rejection? Together, we explore the deep roots of these emotions or behaviors. We invite healing and compassion to these wounds and find stronger, healthier ways of being. Doing this work with my clients has been a great honor.
