Therapists in Pittsburgh, PA

Are you having trouble managing your thoughts? Feeling sad or uncertain about your future? Let's chat a little more. Therapy provides an opportunity for self-care, time to work through things that may be preventing you from living a meaningful life, and offer ways to overcome barriers, difficult times, or uncomfortable situations. My goal in therapy is to guide individuals to gain a better understanding of themselves through increased self-awareness. I plan to help individuals understand how they relate to others and navigate their interpersonal relationships within their lives and environments.

I have over two decades of experience working within various community mental health settings helping children, adolescents, adults, and families navigate emotional, behavioral, social, and mental health needs. I create a goal-oriented treatment for those experiencing, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, intrapersonal conflict, relationship and communication issues, childhood trauma, stressful events, life transitions, and parenting needs.

Ideally, I am committed to helping others who are committed to themselves, and to those who are willing to courageously embark on a journey to become the best version of themselves they can possibly be.

It is my strong belief that concerns don't define people; identity is a verb.

A patient presents with concerns regarding impulsive decision-making and wanting to change relationship patterns. She was recently diagnosed with postpartum after giving birth 30 days prior. She is currently in a relationship with the child's father and reports being unhappy with his parenting skills. She wants to go out on her own but is afraid he will separate her from the child. In therapy, she has clarified that she does not want to share with him at the child's young age.

I've been through my own trauma and done my own therapy work (and continue to do so), so I know what it's like to take these big steps and make some difficult changes. I've reached a point at which I'm able to help others to grow and improve their lives by identifying core thoughts and beliefs that are holding them back, and specific skills they can work on to take more control over their lives.

Are you someone that has a history of struggling to make relationships work, whether it be with friends, family, or intimate partners?
