Therapists in Pittsburgh, PA

We live in a world that caters to the neurotypical person, and you are really starting to feel the impact of that after years of working against it. You've tried so hard to "fit in" and hold yourself to the same standard as those around you, but you keep "failing". And all it's done is filled you with shame and left you feeling even more exhausted. Your multiple intersecting identities make this even more difficult, and sometimes you're not sure what's actually impacting things the most and where to start. You need a safe space to really dive in, and that in and of itself has been so difficult to find.

Hi there! I'm looking for clients to encourage and support building a better tomorrow! I want to help YOU invest in YOU! No issues are too big or too small. I'm ready to work with you to find the answer to your questions such as: "How can I be happy?" How do I stop suffering?" "Where do I go from here?"

I fully believe that we must understand where we came from to better understand how we deal with situations today. Our past has made us who we are today, and we respond to our needs by what we have learned from our past. I've spent the last 24 years trying to better understand how to support people as they learn who they want to be and work towards their goals. I try to make a safe and comfortable setting where we can talk about what you want in life and how to achieve it. You will find me to be pretty laid back and easy to talk to.

I'm committed to fostering nonjudgmental connections with individuals as they seek to move toward healthy, creative change. I’ve dedicated my professional life to helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I love helping folks explore intergenerational questions and problems. I have a deep interest in helping people learn to live with more ease inside their bodies—to learn more about their own sexuality, to cultivate awareness of cultural forces that would separate us from our bodies, and to develop practices that can reunite our bodies with our minds, emotions and spirits.

From personal and professional experience, I have learned that we benefit substantially from having someone to actively listen and support us in processing thoughts, emotions, and other stressors.

Throughout my personal and professional journey, I have realized there are more ways to support individuals in our current climate. I am looking to integrate a more balanced, somatic approach to guide people in coping and healing from their experiences. I use a lens to see a person that is not only a "diagnosis" or presentation of symptoms, but someone who is wanting to cope from surviving their hardships.

Humans are complicated and complex beings. You may be facing a new path in life that feels daunting or unmanageable. Maybe your routine has stayed the same, but other areas of your life are bringing you down. In any scenario, therapy can provide opportunities for reflection on your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My approach to counseling is collaborative. As the client, you are the expert of your life and your experiences. As a counselor, I am here to help untangle the parts of your life which may feel cluttered or distressing. I aim to acknowledge past experiences, present stressors, and concern for the future.

I’m a LCSW based out of Pittsburgh, PA. My goal is to empower and help you to get “unstuck”. I specialize in working with adults who struggle with addiction, trauma, relationships, and substance use.

I’m committed to hearing, understanding, and validating the goals you want to achieve.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Art History from Saint Mary’s College in South Bend, Indiana, graduating in May of 2014. In the Fall of 2012, I received training as a victims’ advocate and crisis line operator at the Family Justice Center in South Bend. For the rest of my time as an undergraduate, I continued volunteering for the FJC, focusing on taking crisis calls, yet unaware of the skills I was building in attending to each caller’s concerns. I utilized my training again during grad school to volunteer for Crisis Text Line, where I honed my skills in crisis management and planning.

Not able to accommodate new clients until June 2016.

I believe in client focused therapy. If you come to therapy and talk while I just listen, you may feel better only for a few days. But if you come to therapy and talk, while I offer feedback, tools, insight, and homework, you will feel better overall and for longer. I enjoy giving tools and handouts to strengthen your progress in between sessions
