I am a provider at our South Hills clinic who provides psychiatry services in-person and via telehealth. I feel as though it is in my heart to help anyone that I can. I am very approachable and understanding and also believe that people will be the most vulnerable at times while in my care. I have worked in a variety of settings including family practice, specializing in mostly child and adolescent mental health as well well as adult physical and mental health issues. I have worked closely with school based systems as well in addition to tele-psychiatric services for clients across the state of Pennsylvania.

My ideal client is someone that is willing to be open and honest with me, as I will be with them. I am very open minded and prefer clients that will trust me to take care of them and be available to them to the best of my ability. I prefer motivated, open-minded, and open for the possibility of change and finding new beginnings. I would hope that my ideal client has the mindset for change and experiencing all different types of emotions throughout this process. I realize that this is not always easy, but I will try my best to make everyone feel equal.

I grew up in small town in West Virginia where mental health was, and is still, very much a stigma. I worked my hardest to educate my patients that this is something I am truly passionate about and want to continue to educate the public on the benefits of mental health treatment. Now, living in Pittsburgh, I feel as though I have a much broader goal to spread the word!
