Domestic Abuse Therapists in Pittsburgh, PA
I use a holistic approach to treatment emphasizing on rapport building. "There is a reason for all behavior and when it comes to people seeking true wellness, I don't want people to depend on medication." I enjoy helping people change and explore themselves. "The scarecrow, in the movie The Wiz, thought that he did not have a brain. He believed that he was just a sack of old newspapers; but, it took the experience of a "journey" to help him realize that he was not just a sack of newspapers but a wealth of information. "Lets find your wealth!"

I work with clients who struggle with issues such as anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors or thoughts, feelings of inadequacy or patterns of self sabotage and want to understand their thoughts and behaviors to find more effective ways to manage them. Many of those I work with are healthcare professionals or others in caring roles who give so much to others that they neglect their own needs. Together, we focus on restoring balance, building coping skills, and regaining a sense of control.

On the OUTSIDE, you are working on the degree, or have the ideal job or the "perfect" life. On the INSIDE, you’re exhausted. Second-guessing yourself. Or carrying experiences that feel too heavy to name. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, or the specific pressures placed on helping professionals and students, this disconnect can lead to cycles of overwork, overthinking, and never quite feeling "enough." Often, these patterns are fueled by imposter syndrome or the echoes of childhood or vicarious trauma. You deserve a space where you can finally put the mask down and address the roots of your struggle.
