Bisexual Therapists in Pittsburgh, PA

Therapy is about creating the life we want to live – a process of becoming who we know we already are. It is about being in relationship – with ourselves and with others. I provide a non-judgemental and empathetic environment for you to explore your experiences and to create meaningful, long-term change.

If you are hoping to grow in some way, I would be honored to work with you to improve your mood, your patterns of thinking, your relationships, or your understanding of self. What I bring to the table is a warm, empathic, nonjudgmental approach, grounded in narrative and existential theories. I will create a trusting, safe space for you to share your deepest thoughts and feelings. You deserve a therapist who will meet you where you are, so that we can start on the same page. If you want to create meaning in your life, navigate the complexities of being human, and feel more fulfilled, I am here to help you figure out how.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck? Reliving the past and dreading the future? Struggling to find peace? Life can be uncertain and unjust. Yet we are tasked with creating our own meaning around painful experiences. I want to help you regain your personal power, find peace with your past, and envision a life with joy and warmth.

Let’s talk about sex, relationships, and life! Whatever you are facing, let’s face it together. My clinical style is free of judgement, I ask what has happened to you as opposed to what is wrong with you & will help you recapture a life worth living. I contend the most important piece of your journey, regardless of what your facing, will be the therapeutic bond we develop. I hope you will find me to be a support that uplifts, empowers, & validates. I’m confident that together we can create a positive and safe place for you to not only face your challenges, but also move forward and thrive.

I view therapy not just as a way to address concerns or issues that one might have but as an opportunity to better understand yourself as a whole. When we take the time to explore how we act, think, and feel we are able to access new parts of ourselves and how we interact with others in our life. The process of therapy can be powerful. I can offer this opportunity for you to explore yourself and the things you want to change in your life in a setting that is safe, supportive, non-judgmental, & welcoming.

Relationships can be as challenging as they are rewarding. Professional support in working through those challenges can help you build more satisfying personal and professional relationships. I focus on assisting you with increasing your self awareness, emotional regulation and your ability to communicate effectively with others. I believe that a nonjudgemental, caring environment facilitates personal growth. My goal is to engage in a collaborative process that feels safe, enables healing and empowers you to reach your goals.

My clinical focus is helping clients increase confidence, feel more fulfilled, and create satisfying relationships. I believe people have the inner power to heal and to grow; I can provide emotional support and guidance for those who are struggling with this process. My approach to psychotherapy is an integration of cognitive-behavioral therapy & expressive techniques (i.e., art, writing, yoga) within a trauma-informed model. More simply said, I assist clients in understanding how their experiences and perceptions impact their emotions and their stories of their lives, & how to change how they think and feel about themselves and others.
