We all need someone to talk to from time to time. My office is a safe, confidential, judgement-free zone where we can not only talk through your concerns, but also develop ways to resolve them. Whether you're suffering from long-term symptoms, such as reduced quality of life from anxiety, OCD, or grief, or if you're dealing with a current crisis, I look forward to meeting you, identifying the issue, and working through it together. We will work as a team to find the best therapeutic method tailored to your needs so you can be healthier, feel better, and increase self-confidence.

Above all, people need to know that you care, and that you know how to help them. I provide both of these, by building solid rapport with my clients, to show them what is perhaps the most important aspect of counseling- that they have a therapist who is someone who wilI truly listen to them, show them empathy, and be a sincere partner in helping them reach their counseling goals. My motto is "Anyone can be helped, after they realize that you truly care, and that they can trust in you." I provide treatment for a wide variety of mental health problems, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders.

I look at you as an individual and what brings you meaning and purpose. As we work together I will customize my approach to help you reach your goals. I enjoy helping my clients through life transitions and assisting them as they work towards confidence and independence. I practice from a holistic, non-judgemental framework, and look at you as a whole, not just your symptoms. I respect the courage it took for you to reach out and recognize that it’s an honor to be welcomed into your life. I value collaboration, transparency, and humor in my work and hope to create an environment where you feel safe trying new things.

As a counselor I have 20+ years of experience working with adults and children. I treat my clients in a compassionate and professional manner and my approach is usually eclectic as I choose them according to the needs of my client. Techniques used by me are CBT, REBT, ACT, Motivational, Gestalt approach, meditation, relaxation and guided imagery. My expertise is in mood disorders such as depression, bipolar disorders, and on anxiety disorders such as OCD, panic disorder, and phobias. Anger management in relationships and marriage and relationship therapy are also my interest areas as well as resolution of trauma issues, whether acute or chronic. I have and continue to treat dually diagnosed substance abuse clients.

Life teaches a new lesson every day and it is not always something pleasant, expected, or easily managed. As a counselor it is my mission to help you manage and cope with the stressors in your life. Trust, connection, and the feeling of safety are all needed for successful therapy.

Every counseling experience is unique. I create a compassionate, safe, and non-judgmental environment to explore and discuss problems and concerns you determine in a given session. I walk alongside you to support your emotional and mental health, while increasing awareness and understanding of self for personal growth, and encouraging meaningful relationships with important people in your life. My overall approach is eclectic, using different treatment modalities, and is “person-centered” to provide each individual an experience which meets their needs.

“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable” - Fred Rogers Sometimes we all need someone to help process through every day struggles, whether it be struggles with relationships, identity, work, or school. I work primarily from a cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered and dialectical behavioral therapy approach and work to figure out the “why” behind emotions, help build awareness to emotions, reframe faulty thinking and find positive solutions to every day problems.

Are you struggling with your child’s behaviors? Is your child struggling at school, or with their siblings or friends?

One of the greatest things about challenges in life is that we’re given the opportunity to discover we’re stronger than we ever imagined. Understanding that we can develop the skills necessary to conquer life’s challenges is critical to creating the life we want for ourselves. I have twenty years of experience in the mental health field having worked in a hospital setting at UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital, residential treatment and outpatient levels of care.

As a counselor, my favorite aspect is being able to watch my clients grow through whatever that "struggle" may be regardless of how long that journey takes. I live for the “ah-ha” moments that they are able to achieve either independently or with some guidance on my part as I walk along side them during the therapy growth process. I see counseling as not just my career but first and foremost a passion to helping others achieve wellbeing in mind, body, and spirit. I strive to meet clients where they are at with a genuine, empathetic, calming, and sometimes humorous presence as we build a relationship to meet their goals together.
