I offer compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for children, teens, and adults at Open Gate Therapeutics. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Duquesne University and my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh. I have worked across multiple levels of care since 2019. I am trained trained in EMDR and TF-CBT and integrates CBT, DBT, and ACT to tailor treatment to each client’s needs. I am deeply passionate about helping clients strengthen their voice, understand how their experiences shape their present, and build skills for lasting emotional regulation and growth.
I have lived experience with depression, anxiety, trauma, and OCD. I am very familiar about the struggles that come with mental health, and I provide an empathetic, non-judgemental, and compassionate care with my clients.

As a member of the LGBTQ community, I am empathetic, non-judgemental, and passionate about supporting clients who are looking to embrace their true selves. I also have lived experience with depression and OCD, so I am familiar with the struggles they can cause and their effects on lives.

I have had the opportunity to work with Morgan in therapeutic settings on many different occasions. Morgan is down to earth, humorous, and their healing presence is noticeable. When I've walked into an unfamiliar room and seen Morgan, I've felt relief!
