“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable” - Fred Rogers Sometimes we all need someone to help process through every day struggles, whether it be struggles with relationships, identity, work, or school. I work primarily from a cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered and dialectical behavioral therapy approach and work to figure out the “why” behind emotions, help build awareness to emotions, reframe faulty thinking and find positive solutions to every day problems.

I am in network with select commercial insurance plans (Highmark, UPMC, Cigna/Evernorth, Aetna, Optum) at this time.
Immediate daytime openings! Deciding to go to therapy can be uncomfortable, and I am so glad that you are here.

It is my goal to support folks through these difficulties and guide cultivation of inner strength and radical self-acceptance.

Do you feel stuck in patterns shaped by trauma, anxiety, or painful past experiences? My ideal clients are adults who appear “high-functioning” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or on edge internally. They want relief from intrusive memories, emotional reactivity, and self-doubt, and are seeking meaningful healing, not just coping. They’re ready to understand themselves more deeply, feel grounded in the present, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and emotional stability.

Now accepting telehealth clients in Pennsylvania! As a queer neurodivergent therapist, I enjoy working with folks who share in some of those identities. My experience is primarily in helping people navigate life transitions, manage mental health symptoms, and change their relationship to alcohol and other substances. I have a deep appreciation for folks who have developed their own unique perspective on this thing that we call life. I see value in non-traditional relationship structures, and my office is a sex-positive, kink affirming space.
