Humanistic Therapists in Allison Park, PA

I work with clients to create a tailored approach that prioritizes their needs and goals and also honors the unique identities we bring to the world. I utilize an integration of cognitive-behavioral, contemplative, humanistic, and depth-psychological orientations. My focus includes helping individuals navigate grief, life transitions, identity, trauma, spirituality, and relationship concerns. If you choose to work with me, I would nourish a therapeutic relationship of trust, compassion, and soul-making. I have extensive training and experience in expressive art, somatic, trauma-informed, and contemplative approaches.

Individuals are doing the best that they can at any given moment, and they can and want to do better. I offer clients a safe place to explore the issues that brought them to my door in a nonjudgmental environment and to learn how to take care of their emotional health. They will learn how thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected, how to manage their emotions, and how to tolerate the distress that life changes bring.

Welcome! Taking the first step in seeking therapy can be daunting, so I am glad you're here. The ups and downs of life can be complicated, unpredictable and challenging to navigate so I believe finding a therapist shouldn't be.

I feel strongly about developing a collaborative relationship with you, and about helping you see the choices you have to move toward an experience that is rewarding and gratifying. If you are unsure of where to begin, I am happy to assist you in that process.

I believe therapy is most effective when the clinician presents themselves as the client does-a person with a unique past and personality. When you take out a therapist’s humanity and lived experience, there is no true therapeutic connection and trust from the client. That’s why I strive to be both a person and therapist through my conversational, authentic, and collaborative style. I am experienced in serving those with chronic mental health issues including anxiety, depression, PTSD, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, psychosomatic symptoms, and somatic disorders.
