Psychosis Therapists in Pittsburgh, PA

I am a licensed clinical psychologist whose practice is rooted in structured, time-limited therapy (often called evidence-based practice, or EBP) - delivering care that supports your goals, enhances your life, and builds skills to address symptom flare ups after therapy ends.

In the course of my work within both inpatient and outpatient settings, I've had the privilege of engaging with a diverse array of clients, each grappling with unique mental health challenges. This hands-on experience has been invaluable in augmenting my journey towards obtaining a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling. Working with individuals spanning a spectrum of diagnoses, including personality disorders, schizophrenia, mood disorders, and more, has provided me with rich opportunities for learning and growth.

I am passionate about helping individuals on their path to self-discovery and leading a genuine and authentic life. Drawing upon my background in counseling and neuroscience, I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and existentialism into my approach. I aim to help individuals cultivate openness, awareness, and engagement with themselves, their loved ones, and the world around them. By incorporating meditation, relevant literature, art, and nature, I aim to create a holistic therapeutic experience. These elements enrich the exploration of subjective experiences, self-perception, and the profound aspects of existence.

In my practice I offer a space for you to say what cannot be said anywhere else. It is an unconditional welcome to speak what is most real for you; and to speak freely, fully, and without censorship. Dreams, fantasies, memories. Ruptures and traumas. Experiences of love and sexuality as lived in your body and relational bonds. Crises, complaints, and all of the repetitions that happen again and again. These formations (and more) we raise to the dignity of what is most unknown and alive within you. Read deeply into yourself and articulate the 'other scenes' between the lines of lived experience.

Life can be troublesome especially with adding a global pandemic into the mix. I aim to guide you through obstacles with a person-centered approach as I believe every individual is different and will tailor treatment to your specific needs.

Pain, uncertainty, feelings of being lost and a failure emerge as we seek to find our individual path in life. These feelings often indicate it is time to be found, not that you are "mentally ill." They can indicate the need to connect with your inner Self rather than to substitute unfulfilling forms of social adjustment. My approach focuses on you as a unique individual. It recognizes that you have a Self in the sense that there is a unique inner guidance available to you. I will work as a guide in your journey toward conflict resolution and wholeness.

I utilize eclectic approaches to customize a healing experience for you based on your strengths and growing edges. My practice is founded in a holistic mind-body-soul philosophy of healing and I believe all these components as well as our connections with others, our environment, self, and our Divine are all inextricable linked – in order for deep and lasting healing, all components must be considered and approached with love and grace. I am trauma-competent and I use approaches like EMDR, mindfulness, CBT / DBT skills, somatics, creative expression, movement, and music, to help you find a container of healing that works for you.

I help clients learn to listen to and hear themselves; my interest is in helping you to develop the confidence to recognize and honor your own wisdom and thereby make more effective choices in your life. My clinical experiences have afforded me the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients, including but not limited to those with major depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, bi-polar disorder, and grief. If you are interested in gaining insight into your problems and concerns in order to make changes in your life, then our work together will be rewarding for you.
