Therapists for Teens and Adolescents in Murrysville, PA
In my work with clients, I emphasize the power of self-expression as a path to greater self-awareness and healing. Expression plays a vital role in our everyday lives, especially when navigating through challenging experiences like grief and trauma. I approach therapy with a person-centered, trauma-informed, and strength-based perspective, meeting clients where they are and helping them make meaningful changes toward healing. As an Art Therapist, I have the ability to use creative techniques to assist with expression.

With 10 years of experience specializing in OCD and anxiety disorders, I bring expertise in clinical practice and education. I began at the UPMC Pediatric OCD Intensive Program, treating moderate to severe OCD, refining my skills in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and working as a family therapist to address systemic dynamics. Later, I served as Director of Education and Development at an OCD-specialized practice, developing a comprehensive training curriculum to onboard new employees and enhance their competency in treating OCD before moving on and founding my own practice, The OCD Treatment and Training Institute (OTTI).

One of my working assumptions is that you truly matter (just as you are), and I hope you feel appropriately supported in working toward and realizing your goals (who you're becoming).
My approach is collaborative, authentic, and eclectic; incorporates a holistic view; is tailored to your strengths and current needs; includes asking tough questions, humor, and direct communication; and invites (optional) "therapy homework" between sessions.
This style is not for everyone, yet I hear time and again that those open to working together experience amazing transformation and deep healing.

My initial MSW specialization was direct practice work with children, youth and families.
As a licensed clinical social worker with more than 40 years experience of working with families and individuals of all ages, I find that the most effective approach is one that is strengths-based with a strong emphasis on helping clients solve the problems that bring them to me for therapy and also on helping them develop powerful resiliency characteristics that allow for future problem-solving, conflict resolution, goal-attainment, wellness, and life satisfaction. My ideal client is one who likes to learn. Trauma survivors, in particular, do well with this approach.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed and stuck with all the demands and stress in life? My belief in therapy is based on the principle that we as humans are always changing and growing. Throughout life, we all face obstacles or challenges that we must work through in order to reach our optimal self. We learn new things and face new challenges daily. My goal is to process all experiences in order to and identify how they impact the present and better the future.

We all go through stressful periods in our lives. Sometimes it's a result of a traumatic event, such as a sexual assault, loss of a loved one, or difficult life transition. Sometimes it's more complicated to pinpoint. Maybe we are having trouble coping with school, work, or everyday life and are not sure why. Maybe we feel stuck and just feel "off" or not ourselves. I believe that everyone is capable of changing their life and moving toward happiness. Whether you are new to therapy or have gone in the past, I'll work with you with non-judgment and compassion to help to you on your journey of personal growth.
