On the outside, you may seem like you have everything together. You’re responsible, dependable, and often the one others rely on. But internally, you may feel overwhelmed by racing thoughts, constant worry, loops of overthinking or obsessive thoughts, or be constantly trying to keep everything “just right.” You might struggle with people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or a deep fear of letting others down. For many individuals, these patterns may be rooted in earlier relational experiences where you learned to manage everything alone, stay hyper-aware of others’ needs, and push your own feelings aside.

My approach to counseling that life is often uncontrollable, but we can control how we respond, how we communicate, and how we navigate through complex social/personal/professional issues. I work primarily with teens, young adults, college students, and adults on a variety of difficulties such as anxiety, depression, suicide/suicidality, personality disorders, and career/workplace stressors.

You’ve survived what should have broken you, but the impact of those experiences lingers in sneaky ways like dissociation, shame, emotional numbness, or feeling stuck in unhealthy / toxic patterns that no longer serve you or the person you're becoming. You long for deeper connections to safe people, crave relief from overwhelm, or need to break cycles of trauma, especially as a parent. You want to heal, to feel whole, and to reclaim / unconditionally embrace the parts of yourself lost to survival. Learning to be important to yourself can be challenging if you were never safe enough to be important before. Trust is scary.

I understand how heavy life can feel, how anxiety, grief, trauma, and stress can leave you exhausted and overwhelmed. I see your strength, even when you don’t feel strong. You may be carrying depression, OCD, or the weight of past trauma in both mind and body. You want to feel calmer, more connected, and more like yourself again. Together we’ll create a safe, supportive space to release what’s been held inside, ease the burden, and help you move toward healing, balance, and a life that feels lighter.

We are in-network with most major insurance carriers, including Highmark, Cigna, UPMC, Aetna, and Optum/United.
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.

I am a Psychiatric Physician Assistant who previously worked as a Hospitalist. Studying Internal Medicine, I saw firsthand how our minds, bodies, and souls are so interwoven and the profound impact that each health component has on the others. For example, our physical health significantly impacts our mental health, and vice versa. With a strong foundation in psychiatric medicine, medication management, and therapeutic support, I integrate a whole-person approach to help patients achieve balance in their mental and emotional well-being.
