Therapists for Children in Pittsburgh, PA
I have been a licensed therapist with 30 years of experience, helping people navigate their way through life challenges, using an integrative approach, blending evidence-based techniques with practical, holistic, and insight-oriented methods. My approach is to tailor therapy to your unique needs, strengths, and lived experiences. My goal is to help you understand yourself more fully, recognize your strengths, build resilience, and create meaningful, sustainable change. I believe therapy works best when it honors the complexity of who you are—your history, your emotions, your values, and your hopes for the future.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist I focus on the systems around and inside of you. My philosophy is, you must honestly know yourself in relationships to identify yourself as an individual. There are no individuals in the world, only fragments of families trying to express themselves. I work with those that are curious about the world around them. I support breaking generational curses and patterns, to help find your true self. I support disenfranchised groups through the time we all living in. I focus on Social Justice through an experiential lens, that challenges our way of existing.
