Child Therapists in Pittsburgh, PA
I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults and families.
I believe that the foundation of effective treatment is the ability for a client and a counselor to connect. I bring authenticity into each session, making sure I not only understand what brings you in, but also, who you are. Whether a small child, an opinionated teen, or a struggling parent, I will lead with your strengths, and respect your individuality.

There is a special place in my heart for a traumatized child.
I'm a child development specialist with extensive training in play therapy. I use Play Therapy in conjunction with EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help children process their loss and trauma, reduce disruptive behaviors and impulsivity, use play to build communication skills and enhance a child's self image.

I utilize strength-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with elements of a psychodynamic approach (touching on attachment, relationship, and behavior patterns through the lens of object relations theory).

Since 2006, I have worked with children, teens, adults, and families, in a variety of settings.
Hello, and Congrats on taking your first step towards self-improvement! My main approaches are cognitive and trauma therapies. Our thoughts, our beliefs, and even our inner voice strongly shape our emotions. When unfortunate events happen in our lives, we try our best to make sense of these events and what our lives have now become. As we adjust our thoughts and beliefs, our emotions have to follow. I combine CBT, trauma therapy, brief/solution focused, and EMDR. I work with traumas, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, toxic work places, toxic relationships, adjusting to changes in life, and low self confidence.
