Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Pittsburgh, PA
I draw from ACT, somatic practices, mindfulness, and humanistic & transpersonal psychology.
The weight of trauma, loss, or change isn’t something you have to carry alone. A nervous system on edge, bracing for impact. A loss that lingers. Not feeling like yourself. Chronic pain or thoughts that won’t quiet. Together, we slow down and safely make contact with what’s here. Our partnership is rooted in creating safety, expanding self-compassion, and supporting your unique neurobiology and experiences. With a specialization in Art Therapy, we may engage in art-making as a grounding tool and also as an embodied process that can create a visceral shift in how we see and process experience.

I have extensive training in CBT for Anxiety, ERP, I-CBT, ACT and IFS.
Understanding our life experiences and how they shape our views can be difficult to do alone. Traumatic events or troubling times, no matter how long ago, can bring up harmful thoughts and complicated feelings. Anxiety and self-doubt may be holding us back. Fortunately, it doesn’t always have to be this way. We will work to understand what you need for your own therapy journey. Building a trusting relationship is important to me, and I will be your support as you process what you have been through. Together, we can find balance in your life and bring hope and healing.

IFS, ACT, and CBT are a few of the modalities that I use frequently.
I am a real human being in session—relatable, personable, and transparent. Rapport is probably my greatest skill, and rapport helps my clients feel they can trust me. I use evidence-based practices inside the therapeutic relationship, and the profundity of the relationship helps these practices stick.

I use evidence-based modalities like DBT and ACT and a person-centered, empowering philosophy.
Maybe you feel trapped in patterns that aren't serving you, stuck at a life transition, or are treading water and can't see the shore. In our work together, you'll have a non-judgmental space to unpack whatever is holding you back, while also taking steps toward change.

Currently accepting new clients with daytime availability. It's okay to not be okay. You might feel paralyzed because it seems like everyone else has it more together than you do.

Oh, and also get some sleep. Or maybe you're a parent of a child struggling with anxiety and you find yourself feeling more stressed out because you don't know how to make it better.
