I have extensive experience in clinical and social service settings, specializing in supporting parents of young children. I work to empower clients to build resilience and self-compassion. My primary focus is working with Moms, at any point in their journey. I find joy in supporting other women as they build self compassion and confidence through their parenting journey. I work with women spanning the life stage, navigating challenges like infertility or the unknown of menopause. I find joy in supporting women on their journey toward living a life fulfilled.
I often start by using CBT to provide immediate, practical tools. I integrate Narrative Therapy to help clients better understand their experiences; I also use modalities like ACT and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to meet individual needs. All of these are tied together by the Holding modality that has become the foundation of my practice.
Quoting Pittsburgh’s own Mr. Rogers: “Anything that's human is mentionable, and anything mentionable can be more manageable.” I believe that sharing emotions and those deep, sometimes scary thoughts, can foster freedom and healing. This is your invitation to share, to mention those things that seem too big, and begin to move forward.

After the session or two, in which my primary goal is to understand you and your therapy goals, I tailor a plan of treatment to what your needs are.
