Anxiety Therapists in Monroeville, PA

I'm an experienced, licensed psychologist who helps people get "unstuck" from unhelpful behavior patterns. Whether you're facing a temporary, difficult life situation or struggling with more long-standing problems like depression or anxiety, I can help. My style is direct and active - I don't simply nod my head while you talk. I'll listen closely, we'll work together on the problem and I'll offer you supportive, non-judgmental and practical feedback that will help you to navigate through the issue as quickly and effectively as possible.

Are you in your 20s or 30s and struggling to re-enter life post-pandemic? I specialize in helping young adults to navigate life transitions and obstacles. And right now, there may be a lot of obstacles. Maybe you've unexpectedly found yourself back in your childhood bedroom trying to adjust to living with a parent again after semesters of freedom. Maybe you had an anti-climactic end to your academic career and find yourself thinking, "That's it? Now what?!" It can feel hard to move forward right now, especially if you've had hopes, plans and goals that have been delayed or even lost.

I work with people who feel as if things are outside of their control and are looking to find better balance. Whether it’s a recent experience influencing your distress, or perhaps something that’s been present for much longer, I aim to help people better understand their situation and develop the skills needed to manage the thoughts and feelings that may be contributing to the struggle. Anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and general difficulty managing emotions are all areas with which I have experience. I also focus on areas such as impulse control/difficulty focusing, managing technology/internet use, and mindfulness practices.

Welcome! In my practice, my clients often tell me they feel anxious, stuck, and overwhelmed by their past, present, and future. They speak about patterns of people-pleasing, impostor syndrome, social anxiety, and perfectionism after experiencing events such as childhood bullying or parental abuse. Many experience a mismatch between their thoughts and what they feel in their bodies.

Struggling with your self esteem? Feeling like you are never good enough? Focusing on what others need and want than what you need and want? Experiencing anxiety and overthinking?

Finding that relationships are very hard and never turn out the way you want them to? All of these things have a root cause and point to our unfinished business. I can help you see and understand the root cause and see your self from a different place. Direct Inquires Only No Third Parties Please.

Anxiety can be debilitating. You may find that you’re constantly worrying, on edge, or fearing that something bad might happen. You feel as if you can’t seem to get your mind to calm down, to take a break, to relax. You may feel badly about yourself, and notice you’re criticizing yourself more often. You might even become fearful of your anxiety, furthering this vicious cycle. Some might be able to pinpoint these feelings to something specific, while others may have a difficult time figuring out where this feeling came from, and why it won’t go away. Either way, anxiety leaves you feeling drained, exhausted, and out of control.

Anxiety is everywhere these days. We're all making our way through a sea of unknowns, and our children are along for the ride.

If you’ve exhausted a list of ideas to help your child with little progress, let me join you. Together we can redistribute that emotional weight you’re carrying and give your child a big wide space to heal and grow.

Welcome, welcome, WELCOME! All my life I have believed that a person needs to be the change they want to see in the world. Thus my practice is one where people are free to learn, to grow, to express themselves freely and without judgement about whatever ails them. This could be daily life struggles of riding public transportation, or more philosophical questions about the meaning of life, and everything in between. All it takes to start is the willingness to have a conversation. I take a trauma focused, client first approach which makes getting that conversation started even easier!
