Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Pittsburgh, PA
My counseling approach incorporates modalities like Attachment theory, DBT ( Dialectical Behavior Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and IFS (Internal Family Systems) to create an environment that honors your lived experience and allows for non-judgemental self-exploration.
I specialize in working with queer folks, individuals and couples exploring alternative lifestyles, and adolescent women looking to develop healthy relationship skills and receive supplemental, trauma-informed, sex education. I am a firm believer that healing begins with getting to know yourself. That can mean identifying attachment wounds, exploring the impacts of the systems that inform you, and disassembling worn-out patterns that no longer serve you. My goal is to help you build a foundation of intimacy with the self that unlocks your ability to be more present in your relationships and more connected with your values.

I am experienced with Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy, and appreciate the mixture of things needed to support ADHD.
You’re motivated, emotionally intelligent, and highly self-aware, but OCD, ADHD, Trauma and big emotions stop you from thriving. And you’re sick of it. You want to go through your day without intrusive thoughts getting in the way. You want to break cycles and heal from you and your family’s pasts. You want to create new systems that work for you. You want to find connection, and grow, and flourish. Treating OCD and Trauma requires supportive guidance. The difficulties of ADHD don't get enough respect. And let's be honest, rarely are we taught how to tolerate or regulate our emotions.

Being an adult is hard, especially for women. Having to make difficult decisions about your career, relationships, future, process things about your past, or set boundaries with those around you -- can feel seemingly impossible. Balancing a career, household, and/or a relationship can be taxing, anxiety provoking, draining, and leave you feeling completely depleted. But these aren't impossible things to tackle, and there is hope for a better, more peaceful, balanced you. You are only one step away from beginning a journey to better take care of yourself. And it starts here.

Our lives tend to be multi-faceted works of art, made up of many roles, relationships, and responsibilities. Oftentimes, we adapt to changes in these roles and responsibilities with little or no difficulty; however there are times in our lives when change can cause distraction, negative feelings, and overall dissatisfaction with our lives. These times are when we discover our true authentic lives, within ourselves and our relationships, by engaging in therapy. During sessions, we will explore ineffective behavior patterns and perceptions to move forward into a better state of mind and lead a more fulfilling life.

NOTE: I have no current availability, but you can reach out to join my waitlist. Are you feeling anxious or burnt out? Are you stuck or unfulfilled in your career or in your life? Do you lay awake at night and fantasize about a life that's complete different from what yours looks like now - but you're not sure how to get there? When you're struggling with your mental health or with your career, it can feel like you're living to just get through the day. This does NOT have to be your reality. With support, clarity, and the right skills, you can go from merely surviving to thriving in your personal and professional life.

I help those feeling overwhelmed and lost in life. This can be a frustrating, disheartening and lonely period in our lives. Sometimes we present to others one way but really feel uncertainty and disconnection with little to no understanding of why it is happening or what to do about it. Together we can work to navigate the stressors of life, find a sense of direction and build self confidence. Through our work together we will set and obtain the goals you have for yourself.

You don't feel like yourself anymore. You feel shame. You feel anxious, on edge, constantly unsure. Your anxiety is starting to impact your work and whatever friendships you have left. You have such a hard time trusting people. Your attempts to control and try and prevent everything in an effort to control the outcome just isn't working anymore. You feel like everything is so scrambled in your head that you wouldn't even know where to start. You're scared to make that first call because you need to remain in the driver's seat and you're worried that will be taken away from you. (It won't be.)

I enjoy working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, and process addictions and clients struggling with a relationship. I offer clients a safe environment to explore their thoughts, feelings, and past to learn about their present life. My ideal client would be aware that they need help. They are also prepared and open to doing the necessary work to address their issue. They understand that therapy is a process they cannot complete overnight. They know that their previous methods have failed and are willing to try again with me.

You feel overwhelmed and uncertain and it feels like you cannot get a break. In this new world of staying at home and physical distancing, finding creative ways to maintain meaningful connection is critical.
