Marriage Counseling Therapists in Allegheny County, PA

My practice revolves around a person-centered approach, meeting individuals at their current point to facilitate effective goal attainment.

Outside of work, I enjoy planning day trips and partaking in family activities, along with dining out with friends. Baking and exploring new recipes to share with loved ones are cherished hobbies of mine.

Many come to therapy to change patterns of relating to others and themselves that they feel no longer serve them. I believe that these patterns, hard as they may be now, likely played some important role for you in the past.

I see myself as your partner in a process of deep listening, a process which facilitates growth, healing, and new possibilities for relating to your self and others. Specialties and modalities include: Clinical Hypnosis, gender therapy, trauma, addictions. Also see my group therapy option.

Become the best version of you. When we become complacent and just “settle”, we have cut off our opportunity for happiness. We understand that each client that we work with is a unique individual who has been and continues to be influenced by their culture, family, friends, values, beliefs, and personal traits. Treatment first begins with clearly understanding you, as a unique individual, and then identifying the goals in which you wish to achieve, followed by developing a treatment plan based on those individualized goals.
