I have been helping clients of all ages, races, and backgrounds live more fulfilling, rewarding, hopeful lives for as long as I can remember. It was natural for me to become a psychologist and make my mark on the world by doing exactly what I loved to do. Although my clients continually tell me how much they are helped by therapy, I can honestly say that I am the one who is truly changed by helping others. No matter what your difficulties are, I can assure you that you will be changed in some way by entering therapy. There is no difficulty too great or too small to work on in therapy. The only constant in life is change.

I offer an interpersonal/psychodynamic approach to working with individuals with anxiety, depression, personality, life and relationship issues.Treatment is personalized to meet each patient's needs. I have been practicing for over 25 years and offer individual, couple, family, psychoanalysis ,and psychodynamic therapy. i also supervise psychiatric residents at Western Psychiatric Institute, teach at the Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Center,worked in the Family Division of the Courts, and spent 15 years as a professional member of the State Board of Psychology. I will be glad to speak with you regarding your personal issues and answer questions.

Witnessing positive change in my clients has provided not only professional joy, but unflagging belief in the benefit of psychotherapy as a catalyst for personal growth. Investment in self can bring great personal and professional rewards. I am ready to work with clients who are seeking to identify key areas, issues or goals in their lives that will support recovery, relief and new insights into life's many confounding challenges. Optimizing my clients' potential is my primary focus.

Hi there! Struggling with feelings in general? Don’t quite know where to turn? I am glad you found my page. I have worked with a diverse group of clients with many different struggles but I specialize in adults, young adults and teens. I like to take a conversational approach to therapy. I don’t want our sessions to feel like an uncomfortable doctor's appointment but rather a comfortable place to explore ideas and ask questions. I want to partner with you in the way you work best whether that be crystals and meditation, memes and social media, or just starting with the basics.

I have over 25 years as an experienced counselor in a variety of settings. I have worked over the years in home, school, community, residential, hospital and outpatient settings. My therapy is based on an Adlerian approach as well as advanced trainings in DBT, anxiety issues including OCD, depressive issues including MDD, ADHD, mood disorders, strength-based therapy, family therapy, and relationship dynamics. I love to use visualization techniques as well as incorporate current research solutions, workbooks, and training materials into my current practice.

I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and feel very comfortable addressing any life-span issue or transitional concern. I also enjoy working with young adolescents as well as young adults addressing issues related to anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Working with a variety of age groups, including adults; allows me to maintain up to date clinical skills as well as having a better understanding to all life stages. Regardless of what difficulty you may be facing, the first step to change is the awareness that something doesn't feel right. This awareness is usually the first step to the possibility of change.

While every counseling experience is unique, the team at Pittsburgh Pastoral Institute (PPI) seeks to provide an empathetic relationship in which individuals and families can safely and freely discuss their challenges and concerns in a holistic context carefully considering the mind, body, and soul in therapy. This is also a "person-centered" process in which the client determines the areas of exploration and discovery.

We all experience difficult or painful events in our lives. We may feel anxious, depressed, or just not ourselves. You don't have to deal with things alone. Maybe you're having relationship issues, or you lost someone you love. Perhaps you went through a traumatic event, and are having a difficult time coping. I can teach you better ways to cope with difficult situations, recognize your feelings, and restructure your thoughts. You are the expert, and I will give you the tools to cope. I will work with you to heal and bring balance and happiness back into your life.

Are you in need of support? Do you have disturbing thoughts? Do you 'what if" constantly? Are you too angry? Are you confused? Are you struggling with getting out of bed? Are you not yourself? Are loved ones concerned about you? Do you have 'brain fog? Forgetfulness? problems sleeping? Do you have body image issues? Are you self medicating? Do you need someone to talk to without judgement? Life is challenging and sometimes unfair. There is a path out of suffering. Despite a sense of helplessness, anxiety, depression, trauma and fears; there is a way out and I can help you, help your SELF through your challenges.

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! (Please note I do not have evening or weekend availability and my office is located in the South Hills of Pittsburgh- I will ask you to complete a brief phone consult to ensure I am a good fit)

I focus on trauma, depression, anxiety, attachment difficulties, & relationship/family issues. My ideal client would be open to change and exploring more positive ways to see themselves. My ideal client would be someone that values our time together and is present for sessions. My ideal client would be someone who can reflect from within and be willing to do the work, with a sincere desire to change their lifestyle. This client would be flexible and willing to see the other side of the coin, exploring the past and delving into the present.

Are you struggling with life's challenges in some way? Perhaps, a personal loss, a life change, your mood or self-esteem, or maybe you're struggling with processing and coping with past relationships, experiences or traumas. I offer my clients a safe space to explore and process past events and relationships which are impacting their present, and in turn make positive changes to their current and future selves and relationships. We will work together to help you recognize and resolve your internal and relational conflicts, and create and accomplish your personal goals for therapy, counseling and overall wellness.

My ideal client is someone who is committed to wanting better for themselves . I provide an open and honest space so my clients feel safe especial clients who suffer from trauma , depression and anxiety .

Have you found it difficult to live your life authentically? Have you ever felt out of place or different? You are not alone. I value an integrative approach to therapy which allows me to tailor my treatment methods to work best with each individual as no two people are the same. Focusing on a holistic point of view, I encourage self-discovery through the mind, body, relationships, spirituality, thoughts, and emotions. A large part of my work includes mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy which aids in connecting thoughts and emotions to promote healthy behavior.
