While every counseling experience is unique, the team at Pittsburgh Pastoral Institute (PPI) seeks to provide an empathetic relationship in which individuals and families can safely and freely discuss their challenges and concerns in a holistic context carefully considering the mind, body, and soul in therapy. This is also a "person-centered" process in which the client determines the areas of exploration and discovery.

Deciding to go to therapy can be uncomfortable, and I am so glad that you are here! To me, the most important part of therapy is creating a trusting relationship with your therapist. My goal is to create a safe space for you to share and be vulnerable, all while learning to grow and change. Therapy is so much more than just talking, and it is my hope that in working with me you will be able to become comfortable with being uncomfortable, build a skill set to cope with thoughts and feelings, and to learn to apply those skills to your everyday life.

Connection to ourselves and others makes us feel whole. Ask yourself now, "Where are my people", "where do I feel as though I am authentically me"? Because mental un-health (our depressions, our anxieties) comes when we are disconnected from those spaces and people. Many factors can disconnect us: death, loss, transition, trauma, heartbreak, stress, abuse, illness, etc. I work with clients across diverse contexts to find reconnection and wholeness despite these disconnectors.

My ideal client is ready to think big. They are ready to recognize their power by becoming more aware of unhealthy behavior patterns and belief systems in relationships and within themselves that are keeping them from aligning with who they truly are. They are willing to take small steps at a time and understand that forming better habits takes consistency, experiences and possibly saying "no." They want to be heard by someone that has the mental space to listen. They want to learn how to live in the present and learn how to love unconditionally.

Is your child or teen struggling with anxiety, depression, or behavioral challenges? As a parent, do you often struggle with self-doubt, guilt, or concern for your child's well-being? Is your family experiencing a loss of identity, grappling with the behaviors of a family member, or finding it hard to adjust to new circumstances? Navigating family and child issues can be daunting, especially in a society where seeking help can still carry stigma. But, avoiding these concerns can amplify feelings of guilt, shame, and unease. My passion lies in fostering personal and collective growth for individuals and families alike.
