Pittsburgh, PA 15216
I work with people facing career crossroads, relationship trouble, stress that's gone physical, or a sense that something needs to change.
I blend talk therapy with body-based and biofeedback methods. We make sense of the parts of you that pull in different directions. We settle the nervous system through breath and attention. We train the heart toward steadier rhythms. This simple triad—mind, body, heart—helps loosen old patterns of anxiety, pain, or self-criticism, and opens room for choice.

Maybe you’re consumed with anxious thoughts, the “what if” kind that never seem to leave your side. Maybe you’re stuck in a never-ending loop of overthinking, feeling like your brain just won’t shut off. Maybe you’re constantly trying to figure out why you just had that really uncomfortable thought again (yes, that one !)

My ideal clients are adults, professionals, and college students struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship conflict, burnout, depression, perfectionism, or feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns. People often come to therapy because they want more than short-term coping skills. Many want to understand not just what they feel, but why they feel it. Using a psychodynamic and attachment-based approach, we explore how past experiences and relationships shape present emotions and behaviors. I integrate CBT, DBT, and Existential Therapy to help clients build insight, emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and lasting change.
