University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Hea Therapists in North Huntingdon, PA
I have twenty years of experience in the mental health field having worked in a hospital setting at UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital, residential treatment and outpatient levels of care.
During individual therapy sessions, clients learn how to identify their personal goals and shift their perspective from feeling “victimized” to feeling “in control” which results in hopefulness and motivation that is life changing. Individual therapy offers the opportunity to face our challenges while discovering that we are stronger than we ever imagined.

Because I believe initiating therapy is a courageous and admirable movement toward improving a person's life and relationships, I strive to provide an atmosphere of respect, security, acceptance-- and above all... hope! I am committed to creating an experience in which clients feel empowered through coaching, modeling, and multi-media education that makes learning new concepts understandable and easily incorporated into everyday life.

As a counselor I have 20+ years of experience working with adults and children.

Anger management in relationships and marriage and relationship therapy are also my interest areas as well as resolution of trauma issues, whether acute or chronic. I have and continue to treat dually diagnosed substance abuse clients.

I believe caring, encouragement, and humor need to be combined with knowledge and skills. I want to make you feel confident that all will be well. You may need someone to listen or you may need a counselor trained in diagnosing and treating mental health concerns. I try to provide others with what I would want from a counselor. I will give you honesty and commitment to help you be happier in your daily life. We will work together in a non judgmental environment. Caring and support are balanced with a goal oriented style to help you meet your goals.

I offer a judgement free ear for listening to all of life's hardships. I promote responsibility taking and accountability, while encouraging self-development and expression. I work to connect with individuals and create an open forum to explore topics and situations that may have long been misinterpreted as shameful or embarrassing.

I enjoy working with clients who want to explore patterns in their lives, reflect on past experiences, and navigate relationship dynamics to better understand themselves. We look closely at recurring patterns around struggles and explore the changes they hope to make. Together, we identify practical steps to cultivate self-compassion, deepen self-awareness, and strengthen relationships. We also explore values and beliefs, build resilience, and discover what helps clients live authentic, balanced, and meaningful lives aligned with what matters most, guided by their strengths and hopes for the future.

I genuinely enjoy working with individuals who are ready to make meaningful changes in their lives. I understand that making the first call for counseling can feel intimidating, and I recognize the courage it takes to reach out for help. My goal is to make that first step as comfortable as possible.
From the moment you arrive, you'll be welcomed into a warm, inviting environment where you can relax with a beverage and light refreshment before we begin. Building trust is an important part of the counseling process, and I believe that healing and personal growth happen best in a setting where you feel heard, respected, and understood

Are you feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety or intrusive thoughts that won’t let up? Maybe you’re navigating a major life transition — a new career, relationship changes, or questioning your next chapter — and everything feels uncertain or overwhelming. If so, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
I specialize in working with individuals struggling with OCD, anxiety, and life transitions. OCD and anxiety can be exhausting — the constant doubt, mental rituals, avoidance, or need for reassurance can take over your day and leave you feeling frustrated or ashamed.

I've worked with teens and adults having a hard time living authentically or finding joy, questioning their identity, living with overwhelming guilt or shame, unable to find "forgiveness", battling midlife hormones, not performing their sport at expected level, other people's judgment weighing them down, can't concentrate on work or class, lacking motivation, grieving a loss of someone or something, job fatigue, chronic illness, heavy secrets, winter blues, frustrating political atmosphere... these are just some examples of what people battled who have found freedom in talk therapy/counseling with me.

I am a certified EMDR therapist who works with adults on trauma related issues through Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR is a method to help people process trauma more adaptively. When a traumatic event occurs, it seems to get locked in the nervous system with the original pictures, sounds, thoughts and feelings. EMDR appears to unlock the nervous system and allows the brain to process unconscious material more adaptively.

“You’ve always had the power, my dear. You just had to learn it for yourself.” – L. Frank Baum.
I’m glad you’re here. You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, past trauma, or major life transitions and unsure how to move forward. Perhaps stress, emotions, or relationships feel unmanageable, or you’re seeking clarity and balance in your life. Adults and adolescents I work with often want relief from emotional distress, stronger coping skills, and a greater sense of confidence and control over their thoughts and behaviors.

Many of my clients have come to me after life has shaken them up like a snow-globe, leaving them disoriented & foggy. They feel leery of another shake-up, bracing for what’s around the corner. While their events are unique, they have this in common: they are ready to access self trust, find joy, and keep their heart open in a world where it would be very easy to close off.
In my 15+ years of experience as a therapist, I am deeply passionate about the healing that's possible and the future that's available to each of my clients.

You love your baby but you don't feel like yourself anymore. You might feel overwhelmed, anxious or like you're overthinking everything. Many of the women I work with are navigating pregnancy, postpartum or early motherhood and feel like they've lost a sense of who they are. These seasons can be emotionally heavy and isolating, even when they are also meaningful.
