Mental Health Counselor

I am a clinician at our Wexford – Stonewood Drive clinic who provides therapy services.

I am born and raised Pittsburgh and I have crossed all 3 rivers to live in varied communities in the Pittsburgh Metropolitan area. I utilize a Patient-centered approach with clients; believing that you are the expert on you. I am privileged to hear you tell your story and allow me insight into your life. My main approach to counseling is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to foster flexible thinking, accept uncomfortable thought and feelings, and help clients align their actions with their core values to improve overall well-being. Your story, thoughts, and values will provide the pathway for you and I to explore together.

In a comfortable and welcoming environment, we will practice grounding and mindfulness techniques for you to use in moments of dysregulated emotions. Together we will uncover strengths that you already possess and use to get you here in this moment. Despite your circumstances, we will find the moments of joy, accomplishment, and love to grasp and hold.

Your feelings are real and valid. They are responses to your experiences and perspectives. I look forward to exploring those feelings and helping you to use them as an outline for your story, establish what is important to you, and have control over what matters to you, and what to let go. I want to help you to control your emotions, not let them control you
