Therapy requires we slow down long enough to look at our lives with a bit more curiosity, a lot less judgment. That is my goal in supporting you with what brings you to therapy: as a therapist and clinical manager at Calm Pittsburgh, our sessions will be a collaboration, a space to observe and reconcile the narratives we tell, read between the lines of our daily habits, and approach our unhelpful patterns with openness and flexibility.
I work best with those who seek to expand their self-awareness and cultivate deeper understanding, insight, and empathy. Instead of looking for an escape from the world, these clients are looking for a way of learning how to live meaningfully within it, navigating all its social and moral complexities with a grounded sense of presence.
We will go entirely at your own pace. Are goals and action steps important to you? Then we will focus on where and how these sessions move you forward. Are you instead interested in whatever happens, happens? We will focus on open exploration rather than a rigid checklist.

I draw a lot from Cognitive and Dialectical Behavior Therapies, as these are excellent tools for harnessing 'metacognition' (i.e., how we 'think about our thinking') and emotion regulation. Since people who enter therapy often feel stuck or battling with inertia, I use techniques from Motivational Interviewing and Behavior Theory. I also infuse IFS, Attachment-based, Narrative Therapy.
