Transgender Therapists in Pittsburgh, PA
Many find themselves at a point in their lives where external support is necessary to navigate life's challenges. My clients seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some may come to therapy to deal with a specific struggle, such as anxiety or depression, while others initiate therapy during a difficult life transition. Even positive transitions, such as getting a new job or starting a new relationship can be stressful. Together, we will merge our resources to address these challenges in a safe environment by exploring patterns, processing events from the past, and creating plans for change in the future.

You're tired of showing up for others in the hopes that you'll feel get that support back but instead, you're just left feeling drained. You desire community but the thought of "what if everyone actually hates me?" keeps you lonely and anxious. You might be noticing some shifting in your desires for relationships or sexuality and you're feeling confused and scared. You might even want to cry or hide when thinking about bringing up hard conversations with loved ones about what you truly need. Regardless, you know you want support from an experienced and warm professional who understands that change is hard but worth it.

As a queer woman who practices polyamory, I can understand how we are often unprepared for the difficulties that arise when living in a mononormative society. It makes sense that emotions like fear or depression are brought up when we go outside of those norms, even for the seasoned consensually nonmonogamous folks. Together we can navigate your polyamorous relationship structure if you or you and your partner(s) find yourselves with insecure attachment styles impacting your relationship(s), are having difficulty managing boundaries, or need help dismantling couple's privlege.

I view therapy as an opportunity to better understand yourself as a whole along with addressing concerns in your life. When we take time to explore how we act, think, and feel we are able to access new parts of ourselves and new perspectives on life. The process of therapy can be powerful. I can offer this opportunity for you to explore yourself & possible changes in a safe, supportive, non-judgmental, & welcoming environment. I take a collaborative approach to therapy, which means YOU are the expert and we work together to offer you healing. I am happy to provide letters for gender affirming surgeries for Trans/GNC folx.

The most important relationship we have is the one with ourselves. Therapy provides space to reflect on the ways we think, feel, and act, empowering us to know ourselves more deeply, heal more fully, and become the person that we want to be. I believe that healing and growth must welcome and incorporate all facets of ourselves–even the parts with which we have a complicated relationship–and that self-compassion and curiosity are some of the most powerful tools of self-discovery. I welcome people to show up authentically, offering an environment that is supportive, nonjudgemental, and safe.

My approach is psychoanalytic, grounded within a trauma and culturally informed framework that recognizes the impact and intersections of sociocultural and attachment-related experiences. My primary role is to respect, understand and support you as we explore the dynamic nature of your interior and relational life, working toward greater insight around where you struggle and where you are most resilient. Through therapy, clients usually find that they are better able to identify and work through complex emotions, communicate with others, and gain clarity and resolution regarding long standing relational difficulties.

My clinical focus is helping clients increase confidence, feel more fulfilled, and create satisfying relationships. I believe people have the inner power to heal and to grow; I can provide empathy and guidance for those who are struggling with this process. My approach to psychotherapy is an integration of CBT, DBT, mindfulness & expressive techniques (i.e., art, writing, yoga) within a trauma-focused model. More simply said, I assist clients in understanding how their relational experiences and perceptions impact their emotions and their stories of their lives, & how to change any aspect that is impeding satisfaction and connection

In serving clients who may be part of the Autistic, ADHD, LGBTQ+, and/or military communities, I've seen first hand that the diversity of human experience leads to ingenuity. I work to provide an accepting, supportive, and creative space for clients to communicate their story and discover their own path forward. Together, we can explore the narrative that defines the personal, professional, and social aspects of your life, navigating intersections between lived experiences and identities. I help you to see your patterns of success and both recognize and utilize the expertise you already hold within yourself.

My experience working with LGBTQ people and clients of various backgrounds in mental health settings has shown me that personal change occurs best through relationships based on trust, and a common purpose. Relationships where you are encouraged to say what’s on your mind, be challenged, take risks, and gain new insights. In our sessions, I will focus on honoring your autonomy as we work towards your goals for therapy. My intention is not to teach you a “correct way to live" but instead to learn what already works for you and help create a space to explore yourself further leading to new possibilities for your life.
