My Approach
I provide therapy services to teens and adults who experience stressors relating to anxiety, OCD, life transitions, self-esteem, burnout and relationships with self and others. I strive to help my clients find their inner strength and make positive changes to better manage life's stressors. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space to discuss and process your experiences and emotions. You are the expert in your life and experiences, and I am honored to become a part of your journey of self-exploration and growth.
I am passionate about empowering and encouraging my clients through a collaborative approach. My approach is Person-Centered, and I highly value the relationship between client and therapist. I utilize an individualized, eclectic approach that is tailored to each clients’ unique needs and goals.
About Me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with nine years of experience in the mental health field. My passion lies in helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, and I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients. My areas of expertise include anxiety disorders, OCD, life transitions, relationship challenges, and grief.
My journey into clinical psychology began during my undergraduate studies at Penn State, where my work in research labs sparked a deep interest in understanding and supporting mental health. I continued my education at the University of Pittsburgh, earning a dual master’s degree in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling, while serving as Vice President of Pittsburgh’s Student Counseling Association.
After my studies, I honed my skills and found my niche working in a group private practice, which shaped much of my approach to therapy. Now, I am excited to bring my experience and passion for mental health to my own practice, offering compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual’s unique needs.
Outside of work, I enjoy expressing my creativity through pottery and spending quality time with my English Bulldog, Phoebe, who may sometimes make an appearance in our sessions :)
