After years of feeling "out of body" you may feel like you've exhausted all your options. Maybe talk therapy hasn't worked for you in the past but you want to find relief and are not sure where to turn. You may have experienced emotional neglect, abuse or exploitation (as a child and/or as an adult) and feel overwhelmed at processing it all. Whether you're newly on your own or have been independent for a while you feel ready to adjust how you engage with your internal and the external world.

My ideal client is someone who is looking to “find themselves” or who feels that who they are “on the outside” is different than who they are “inside.” Perhaps they're looking to find more meaning in life, personally, professionally, or both. They might not know where to start, in terms of being happier and more fulfilled, but that is their general goal. They want to grow as a person, but perhaps need help with motivation, or implementation. They're in the midst of, or foresee major life changes, and feel challenged or overwhelmed. They might need to talk, and to learn skills to help them adapt to the changes in their lives.

Greensburg, PA 15601
I enjoy working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. In particular, I work with individuals (and their families) impacted by traumatic stress. I would describe traumatic stress as an "unhealed wound." These wounds can manifest themselves in disruptive behaviors, defiance, anxiety, depression, struggles with focus, aggression, self-injury, perfectionism and substance use. When wounds are triggered it is common for the person to engage in a fight, flight, or freeze response. The trauma oriented work that I offer assists people of all ages to engage in more effective responses to their wounds. The fight, flight, or freeze response goes away.

I am a psychiatrist and psychotherapist who believes therapy is an opportunity to address aspects of the human condition that are very much felt, though not as often examined in contemporary life. The development of a secure, safe, and supportive therapeutic relationship is central to the effectiveness of psychotherapy and lays the groundwork for self-reflection, healing, and growth. My approach is dedicated to facilitating this process and creating a collaborative space for empathy, curiosity, and understanding. As a psychiatrist, I am also able to provide thoughtful, adjunctive medication management.
