EMDR Therapists in Pittsburgh, PA

As a part of therapy, I work with clients to understand themselves and their awareness of their internal world, which can strengthen their relationships with others. We are told a lot of things growing up about who we are. I like to challenge these expectations to explore what values authentically fit for you. What have you outgrown for the person you want to become? Often, we take for granted aspects about our experience, which can be resources of strength in overcoming hardships. I use an integrative approach that takes into account your values, cultural practices, and beliefs in how you view the world and sources of distresses.

I have practiced as a psychotherapist for 21 years and am passionate about serving others through the gift God has given me. Through my private practice, I lead by example, sharing my own journey from struggle to healing in hopes of inspiring and motivating others to rediscover a life full of joy and purpose. Beyond my work as a professional therapist, I am also a published and best-selling author, a professional speaker, and founder/CEO of iRise — a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that aims to eradicate suicide in various trainings and services surrounding suicide prevention and awareness.

I am not currently accepting new clients. I am a health psychologist and work with people who are interested in the health of the mind, body, and spirit. Stress, Anxiety, and Depression are often related to both physical and mental conditions; the whole person responds to treatment. Mood is a function of the mental, physical and spiritual state. Treatments involving all parts of the self are most effective. Also, clients with trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, and short term issues are the typical client in the practice.

Would you like to feel less overwhelmed, anxious, sad, fearful, depressed or unsure of yourself? Are you going through a life transition, dealing with chronic illness, or are unproductive behaviors holding you back? Perhaps you’re unhappy at work/school, experiencing grief/loss, uncertain about your professional goals, or dissatisfied with your relationships. Life issues may seem insurmountable. Once you begin therapy with me, we'll work collaboratively to increase your self-understanding & insight. I'll help you identify & effectuate necessary life changes (step by step), embrace self acceptance, or move toward a little of both.

Welcome!

My aim is to give you realistic tools to cope and form a healthy relationship with yourself & people in your life.

The concept of therapy can be intimidating... My goal is to make it comfortable for you to discuss your situations by providing an honest, non-judgmental atmosphere, while offering support and validation. Throughout my career, I have helped individuals cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, as well as grief and loss, problems within family systems and relationships, and trauma-related issues. I have helped individuals dealing with addictions and substance abuse, and have also helped young adults in higher education transition to new environments and social settings.

Disappointment, stress, and trauma can make us forget who we really are: inherently good beings, capable of giving and receiving love in a balanced, healthy way. I can help you to remember, by providing a safe, warm, and welcoming space where you can share your experiences. We'll explore your story together and, along the way, take a look at your strengths, your potential, and what stands between you and strong, healthy connections with yourself and others. I have a deep understanding of how essential - and fragile - trust can be.
