I am also a geriatric mental health specialist and welcome working with adults ages 18+ (and their families!).
Clients who work best with me tend to yearn awakening and change. I welcome the challenge to help clients connect with higher versions of themselves. Trauma, difficult emotions, relationships and the stress of life often lead to feeling stuck, feeling out of control of yourself, your emotions and reactions. My goal is to show you that there is a better way. A way to live with intention and purpose, guided by the best version of you! (I am the current owner of a group practice and if I am unable to serve you as a client, I will happily connect you with a member of my team. Clinician team bio's available for view on my website.)

My approach to psychotherapy is primarily psychodynamic and relational, drawing from elements of somatic practices. These approaches to therapy inform my belief that we can heal and grow when we are able to increase awareness of our experience, make meaning, and strengthen our relationships with ourselves and others.

Let’s be honest - life can get to be a lot! Between work stress, endless to-do lists, relationships, and trying to remember where you left your keys (again), it’s easy to feel like your brain’s running 47 tabs at once. If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place!
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Pittsburgh, PA, and I’ve spent nearly 20 years helping people understand and learn to manage the impacts of trauma, anxiety, ADHD, and major life transitions. My approach is down-to-earth, collaborative, and sometimes even a little funny, because therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff or serious all the time.

Whether you're navigating adolescence, adulthood, or the complex space in between, therapy offers a powerful opportunity to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. It’s not about having all the answers—it’s about creating space to explore your story, understand patterns, and move forward with honesty and compassion.
I view therapy as a collaborative process grounded in trust, respect, and curiosity. I see each person as the expert of their own experience, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you uncover insight, draw from your strengths, and build the tools to navigate life with greater clarity and confidence.

I take a holistic perspective with my clients to address the health of body, mind, and spirit. I believe that a solid therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is a crucial part of the healing process, and that techniques and therapy approaches must “fit” the client in order to be effective—there is no “one size fits all” therapy. My goal, as a counselor and therapist, is to deeply understand my client, and when this happens we are able to identify areas of life that need to be changed, and ways of going about doing that. Therapy is a collaborative process between a trained therapist and a client who wants to change.

Life can be full of surprises, not all of them happy. There may be times when, quite out of the blue, you feel anxious, depressed, or just plain stuck. Even in the midst of personal, financial and professional success, you might still find you are struggling emotionally, interiorly questioning, wondering whether all the energy and time you have put into your life is really paying off. Often, you may not know what exactly is troubling you and yet feel quite certain that something is not quite right inside. When it feels this way, therapy can help.
