I obtained my Masters in Counseling from Duquesne University. I've worked with teenagers and parents, conducting family therapy. I have much personal experience with people with disabilities feeling seen as valuable people rather than for their disabilities and how they and others can advocate. Finally, I specialize in working with adults regarding issues of grief/loss and trauma recovery with abusive relationships.

I am passionate about marital/partnership and family work and am an ally for the LGBTQIA+ community .
Are you walking around feeling emotionally shut down? Dealing with prolonged sadness and worry? Crippled with anxious thoughts about where you are in life versus where you thought you would be? Therapy is a place where one hopes to explore life’s challenges and have that be met with emotional safety. I aim to provide a safe and open therapeutic environment where you can be your authentic self and have it be okay. It takes courage to reach out, learn self-acceptance and self-love. Facing the mirror can be scary, but only through the process of leaning into vulnerability can we truly blaze a new path.

Over the last 10 years I've specialized in working with teens, young adults and their family systems. It's hard to find a good therapist who can sincerely help those struggling with depression, anxiety, failure to launch, oppositional defiance, substance abuse, relationship difficulties, lack of motivation and emotional regulation. If you're feeling stuck, angry, lost or confused, it can be helpful to meet with someone who can meet you where you are at and help you create a better life though understanding, compassion and confidence. I work especially well with parents and teens who have tried other options and ready for progress.

The frequency and length of treatment may be different for each individual or family.
Do current events have you frazzled? Ever felt like you were in a relationship with someone who wasn't available? Or are you trying to rediscover yourself after divorce, having a child go off to college, or death of a loved one? I help people with all kinds of situations. Whether you are experiencing problems in a relationship, grief or bereavement, depression, anxiety, or a spiritual crisis, there is hope. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, ACT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, psychodynamic theory, and routinely learn from experts in the field. Perhaps most important though, is that I listen.

It is through this process of understanding and discovery, that we uncover options for enhancing and building a meaningful life.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
