Even if you've done this before, it's not always an easy decision to find a therapist. I appreciate that you're taking this step toward finding someone you feel might be a good fit. Therapy is most successful when a person feels some connection with their therapist. I take a down-to-earth, supportive, conversational approach that, especially at first, helps sessions feel comfortable and allows some time for us to get to know each other. I believe how we see ourselves is rooted in our history and that it can be powerful to identify ways we learned to think about ourselves and others.

As your therapist, I will provide a warm and supportive counseling environment where we will begin to work through any current or past challenges or stressors that have led you here. Therapy is most effective when you feel safe and validated as you open up about your life experiences. Through my candor, use of humor, and interactive feedback during sessions, I aim to do just that. My scope of practice includes working with individuals who may experience various forms of anxiety, low self-esteem and those in the neurodiverse and Autism communities.

We feel emotions in our bodies. Sometimes, our emotions cause physical discomfort. Other times, we feel so strongly we become numb and disconnected. Becoming overwhelmed can leave us feeling lonely and misunderstood. We want to connect with others and enjoy life, but we also want to protect ourselves. In therapy with me, you will learn how to understand, appreciate, and work with your emotions to cultivate your relationships, fulfillment, and vitality. Therapy will not remove your feelings or creativity. It will help you understand and work with your emotions, rather than succumb to them.

Mental health can be a taboo topic that can be difficult to explore. You may be new to therapy or be skeptical of the process of beginning therapy. I work from a collaborative background, encouraging clients to be involved in the therapeutic process as well as steer their own journey. In sessions, I work to demystify mental health and answer any questions you may have. As a queer identifying person, I offer gender affirming and celebratory care to multiple marginalized populations as they navigate life transitions, sexuality, depression, anxiety, and other presenting concerns.

Several of our therapists are accepting new clients, and are in network with Aetna, Cigna, United and Highmark.
My approach to therapy is focused on providing the tools and coping skills needed to manage struggles, build self awareness and enhance insight into the root cause of your internal discomfort. Building insight may involve discussing core beliefs that developed during childhood or within relational experiences and exploring how these impact your current thought patterns and behaviors. I specialize in treating women with perinatal disorders, infertility and relationship issues. I often work with individuals to enhance assertiveness, empowerment, and confidence.
