Quest Behavioral Health Therapists in Pittsburgh, PA
I enjoy working with people of all kinds, but I work best with people that are ready to engage in therapy with active participation. I work best with people that are able to be vulnerable, trusting, and not necessarily looking for easy answers to complicated issues. I value mutual respect, openness, and a desire to be a positive part of our world.

You don’t have to hold it all together.
If you’re feeling anxious, burned out, or untethered in a world that’s constantly shifting, you’re not alone. Many of my clients are Gen Z, Millennials, or Xennials who are trying to make meaning in chaotic times—queer, creative, neurodivergent, or otherwise nonconforming folks who are exhausted by trying to fit into systems that don’t fit them.
You might be longing for clarity in who you are, steadiness in your relationships, or relief from that low hum of existential dread. You move through your day with the ache of being awake to a world in collapse and still wanting to live fully.

My ideal client may come to therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship or work issues. For example, they may have social anxiety and want to learn coping skills. They might want to broaden their social support, and improve their self-esteem. Their goals might be to learn relaxation techniques to reduce stress. A long-term goal might be to better understand where their anxiety came from in the first place. They would be interactive and willing to take action toward their goals, viewing me as a helper rather than a fixer.

Are you queer, trans/GNC, or neurospicy? Maybe you're struggling with identity, chronic health issues, self-esteem, or trying to break cycles of generational trauma. You want therapy that feels real - where you can swear, laugh, talk about the uncomfortable, and exist without judgment. To challenge the systems causing you harm, reconnect with yourself, and maybe even feel a little hopeful again. It can feel comforting knowing your therapist has walked a similar path, that your own identities are reflected in them, and that they can see the truth of your experiences because they've been through it, too. Let me walk with you.

I came to this profession later than many others after having my own transformative experiences in psychotherapy. I am now a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and believe strongly in the changes and possibilities that therapy can help to foster in my clients' lives. I feel comfortable treating a range of concerns, but have a particular interest in the experiences of those who struggle with depression, isolation, and self-esteem.
I believe very strongly that when provided the appropriate environment a person will feel free to think and speak in new, unguarded ways about themselves and their experiences.
