I have practiced psychotherapy, with a special interest in treating couple, marital and family relationship problems, for over 30 years. Clients usually seek help to relieve painful symptoms such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, stress related physical illnesses, family conflicts, etc. In my experience, human problems are best understood within their larger social context. I believe that disturbances in relationships are a major source of chronic stress and suffering in modern life.

My ideal clients are children, adolescents, and young adults who may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating identity development, or struggling with relationships, school, or life transitions.

With 10 years of experience specializing in OCD and anxiety disorders, I bring expertise in clinical practice and education. I began at the UPMC Pediatric OCD Intensive Program, treating moderate to severe OCD, refining my skills in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and working as a family therapist to address systemic dynamics. Later, I served as Director of Education and Development at an OCD-specialized practice, developing a comprehensive training curriculum to onboard new employees and enhance their competency in treating OCD before moving on and founding my own practice, The OCD Treatment and Training Institute (OTTI).

My clinical experience and education/training has allowed me the ability to work with children, youth, and adults.
At times, people need a safe and supportive environment to express their thoughts and feelings. Counseling is an opportunity for people to gain: awareness, acceptance, insight, and identify tools for relaxation and problem-solving. Counseling is a therapeutic relationship wherein your voice is heard.
