For over 30 years, I have worked with high functioning clients who carry significant responsibility yet struggle privately with anxiety, overthinking, imposter syndrome, performance pressure, and work-life imbalance. On the outside, you may appear accomplished, respected, and financially secure. But on the inside, you may feel anxious, mentally drained, disconnected, or lonely. When life becomes overwhelming and leaves little room for self-care, restoration or balance. That's where I come in.

I am in-network with Highmark, UPMC, Aetna, Cigna, United, and most Medicare plans.
Therapy requires we slow down long enough to look at our lives with a bit more curiosity, a lot less judgment. That is my goal in supporting you with what brings you to therapy: as a therapist and clinical manager at Calm Pittsburgh, our sessions will be a collaboration, a space to observe and reconcile the narratives we tell, read between the lines of our daily habits, and approach our unhelpful patterns with openness and flexibility.

I am a Pennsylvania and New York licensed clinical psychologist. I believe that every person is different, bringing with him or her a unique set of difficulties, backgrounds, and strengths to my office. Therefore, I like to take an eclectic approach, meaning that I tailor the treatment specifically to the individual patient's needs. There is no "one size fits all" therapy. Of course this is done collaboratively; anything that is done in therapy is at first discussed, and I never proceed unless the patient agrees with the treatment plan.
