Therapists in Pittsburgh, PA

I specialize in Substance Use, Anxiety, & Grief. Life can feel overwhelming at times, and it's okay to seek support. Whether you're navigating through difficult emotions, facing challenges in relationships, or simply need someone to listen, know that you're not alone. My ideal client is someone who wants to begin their treatment journey. They might be nervous or scared to begin, but they have made their first step to at least try.

I strive to create a relaxed, supportive and positive environment for my clients during each counseling session, because I understand how difficult and scary it can be for clients to disclose personal information. I show my clients respect, honesty, compassion and I listen without judgement. I make sure my clients feel heard, validated, supported and gain insight. I have 22 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults in a variety of settings which include: Outpatient, Home/Community, School-Based, Psychiatric Hospitals and Primary Care Physician Offices.

Your life is complex and unique. The quality of your relationships, work, family, health, and stresses can affect your most authentic and calm state. Let us be your allies! We'd love to peacefully assist you as you navigate the changes and challenges life can bring. Calm believes in making complex issues accessible while maintaining an affirming environment that recognizes and respects each person's unique experiences. We also proudly offer a comprehensive suite of sexuality counseling, education, supervision, and consulting services designed to provide expert guidance and promote the well-being of individuals and communities.

I help adolescents, families, individuals, couples, and adults, find healthy perceptions of themselves, strengthen relationships, improve communication/interactions, and find guidance so that they can feel complete, hopeful, and at peace. I provide an eclectic compilation of what works best for each client. With 16+ years of experience in the field, I’ve worked with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, anger, self-improvement, co-parenting, couples counseling, working through major life stressors, trauma, and helping them find a new path.

My ideal client would likely suffer from PTSD, anxiety, negative self-talk, and struggles with daily functioning at times. My goal is to help the client obtain their goals of normal daily functioning. My ideal client is brought into therapy and focused on utilizing the tools given in therapy to apply to daily life. A client must want change and be willing to put in the work to obtain it. I am interested in clients who are motivated and engaged to do more.

I strongly believe that all people have the ability to live their best life when given the opportunity and the right tools for them. Each journey is just as unique as the individual who embarks on it. The work I do with clients is person centered, motivationally driven, and tailored to meet the needs of each person no matter where they are on their therapeutic journey. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy, or have decided to try again, I would be honored to meet you where you are and guide you toward reaching your personal goals.

It can be hard to ask for help. My focus is always on you, what you want and determining and meeting your goals. My orientation is open-minded, experienced, respectful and non-judgmental. I have been in the Behavioral Health field for 25 years and have a reputation of authenticity, unconditional, positive regard for clients and strong, reliable abilities and skills in dealing with life's challenges. I primarily practice CBT, Gestalt and Mindfulness therapies.

Our lives tend to be multi-faceted works of art, made up of many roles, relationships, and responsibilities. Oftentimes, we are able to adapt to changes in these roles and responsibilities with little or no difficulty; however there are times in our lives when change can cause distraction, negative feelings, and overall dissatisfaction with our lives. These times are when we can be empowered to discover our true authentic lives, within ourselves and our relationships, by engaging in therapy. During sessions, we will explore ineffective behavior patterns and perceptions to move forward into a better state of mind and lead a more fulfilling life.

Have you felt anxious or depressed lately? Do you need help working through relationship issues? Are you or someone you know struggling with addiction? My clients have learned to develop a plan that allows them to pursue a balanced and productive lifestyle. My approach has always been to help my clients develop the insights, skills, and confidence to achieve their goals. My goal is to offer a caring environment where my clients feel at ease. I often use video counseling to allow my clients to receive services from the comfort of their own homes because we all lead busy lives.

Our skilled doctoral-level therapists offer personalized and comprehensive psychological care. Together, we help with most mood, behavioral, relational, and life transition issues. You will receive an assessment of your psychological health and a personalized plan to fit your unique needs, goals, and life situation. Most importantly, you will develop insights and strategies to take therapy “on the go.”
