"At times life can be challenging; it is filled with ups and downs. It takes a strong person to ask for help when faced with the challenges life may bring. It is important for you to know that you do not have to go through these challenges alone. As a therapist I believe that you are the expert on your life.

""I'm not going to tell you to get over it, I'm going to help you get through it." For over 18 years I have guided individuals on their path towards healing, higher self-awareness, and overall wellness. Many of us struggle with feeling alone, left out, unheard, tired, unconnected, anxious, sad, or fearful. Therapy is a way to change those negative feelings and to address all of the "stuff" we have pushed so far down that we don't know where to start. And you don't have to do it alone."

"Have you heard the phrase "If you're going through Hell, keep going."? Sometimes in our darkest moments, we need cheerleaders. We need people who recognize that what we are going through seems unbearable and that the simple act of going forward takes courage. Therapy can be the vehicle to help us move forward. When treatment is non-judgmental, supportive and encouraging, you and your therapist can make an unstoppable team. I believe that people want to be "well," but we just don't know an effective way to achieve it. Together, we can work on identifying your personal path to wellness and improved confidence in your strengths."

"Whether you're looking to make significant changes in your life, need some assistance with coping skills, or just need someone kind to talk with and truly hear you, I would be honored to work with you on making positive progress in your life."

"My ideal clients have issues with anxiety, depression, addiction and grief. Those who have little to no family support or friend network to rely on during difficult times. I work with people who struggle with alcoholism and drug abuse and repeated relapse. Many of my clients need help making life decisions especially between the ages of 16-26. Also those who are in transition either from divorce, from college to the workplace and single parents. Most everyone needs to know if they are going to be okay and if they are, how will they be okay."

"I'm welcoming new clients now & can help schedule your first session within a few business days. Do you worry all the time? Is it hard for you to turn your thoughts off? Would you like to enjoy the present moment, but feel like it's impossible because you are so focused on the future or past? So many people live their lives filled with negative thoughts , Traumas & depression that eventually affect their work , relationships and even health. They are unsure of how to let go of their troublesome thoughts or have tried things that made their problems even worse."

"ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS ON THURSDAYS in Mt. Lebanon beginning Thursday, November 7th. I believe in the inherent worth of everyone and that people genuinely do the best they can. We all experience joys and sorrows that can impact our daily functioning. Sometimes these experiences can make us feel "stuck," but we have the power to choose how we respond. Since learning never ends, we will discuss improving your self-awareness and build your "tool box" with strategies to empower you in everyday life. A caring atmosphere will be provided to help you discover your strengths, show yourself compassion, and to find balance in your life."

"When our quality of life suffers, we suffer. We can feel pushed, pulled, stretched, judged, or used by people. We look away from that emotional pain and cope. We lose ourselves and our dreams. If this is you, therapy can help. We live by rules. Not all serve us well. Most likely there are patterns you are repeating. Even if people cause you stress, there's a reason you keep them in your life. There are ways you relate to them that you can change. In turn, perhaps they will treat you differently. You can feel better. I can help."

"Therapy is a space where you can build awareness about yourself and learn to navigate challenging obstacles in your life. It is a mechanism that can enable you to identify areas for improvement, develop strengths and foster personal growth. My ideal client is someone who is open minded and willing to engage in the therapeutic process."

"We all have unique narratives that help us describe the personal, professional, and social aspects of our life. Navigating the intersections between our lived experiences and identities can be difficult, particularly when the "big picture" of understanding who we are, where we're going, and how we can get there feels overwhelming. In serving clients who may be part of the Autistic, LGBTQ+, and/or military communities, I've seen first hand that the diversity of human experience leads to ingenuity. I work to provide an accepting, supportive, and creative space for clients to communicate their story and discover their own path forward."

Whatever the reason, it should be a life enhancing experience. I have assisted many individuals and couples in addressing a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, anger management, low self-esteem issues, communication skills, and grief and loss. I strive to create a safe, welcoming and non-judgemental environment where clients can process their thoughts, worries, and feelings."

"Are you pregnant or considering parenthood? In the early weeks or years of parenting?

My hope is by working together, I can help you to reconnect with your strengths and supports, find relief, heal, grow, and thrive through this transition."

""Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by a-holes." (William Gibson) We take on a lot of stress from those around us - at work, at home, from strangers, from spouses & kids. From rage & stress, to grief, through life-stagnation & confusion to betrayal and divorce, my clients tend to be articulate & very smart, and prefer a counselor who is a realist, not someone who re-hashes old techniques or spouts trendy remedies."

"This practice is focused primarily on adolescents and young adults seeking to treatment related to anxiety, depression, trauma, toxic stress, relationship problems, health issues, or work, school, or performance related obstacles.

Continuity of care is sought through consultation with clients' primary care doctors, family members, and others who may be helpful in promoting positive outcomes."
