Licensed Professional Counselor

I am a clinician at our Fox Chapel clinic who provides therapy services!

Every single client entering this office is an inherently ideal human. When in the throes of struggle with mental health or difficult life circumstances, we sometimes see the world through squinted eyes, and it can be difficult for others, and even oneself to see that. From my perspective, the ideal client is simply one who shows up and is present as they are. If you’re considering therapy, whether for yourself or as a parent reading this, know that you are fundamentally incredible. This is a space to connect with and nurture what is already within.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” This philosophy shapes my approach as a Person-Centered Counselor, specializing in Child-Centered Play Therapy. Therapy is about full acceptance, meeting clients where they are, and using play for children to communicate authentically.

The path to counseling is often challenging, especially for parents who may fear judgment or feel shame about their child needing help. I want to affirm that in my office, there is no judgment. I see you as the expert in your child, and together we’ll work as partners to support your child’s growth in a safe, empathetic space.
