Mental Health Counselor

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

My ideal clients often face substance use concerns alongside anxiety, depression, bipolar, PTSD, or ADHD. Many feel torn—wanting change but also fearing it. They seek stability, practical coping tools, and space to explore ambivalence without judgment. Their goals may include rebuilding trust in themselves, finding meaning after loss, and re-authoring their story. At the core, they want to believe change is possible and to move toward a life aligned with their values.

I use a person-centered, collaborative approach rooted in motivational interviewing, CBT, and DBT. I also integrate narrative therapy and IFS, helping clients honor different “parts” of themselves and shift from problem-saturated stories to ones that highlight resilience. My focus is to build trust and tailor strategies to fit each client’s needs.

I believe clients are the experts on their lives, and my role is to walk alongside them with curiosity, empathy, and respect. Therapy is not about fixing but about supporting growth and self-discovery. I value authenticity and believe vulnerability is key—something I practice by seeking my own therapy as well.
