About
I consider it a privilege and honor to be a part of the change process for others.
I believe in the intrinsic value of all human beings. Each one of us has within our being unique qualities and potential. As a DBT oriented clinician it’s my mission to help others acquire the cognitive and behavioral skill sets needed to build resilience, gain recovery from mood disorder and anxiety, and achieve their unique potential.
I believe the most productive therapy relationship is one of mutual trust, respect, and collaboration. My approach is down to earth and direct, yet compassionate and caring. I have a particular affection for adolescents and transition-age young adults who are trying to find self-worth, establish an authentic identity, and are on a journey to find purpose and meaning in our ever-changing tumultuous world.
I have specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Family Focused Therapy, and Interpersonal Social Rhythm Therapy
I work with children, teens, and young adults who have experienced depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, suicidal ideation and self-harming behaviors.
A team that’s been doing this work — and doing it well — for decades.
"I became a therapist because I know what it feels like to be lost and not know where to turn. I started WPA because everyone deserves a therapist who actually fits — not just whoever has an opening.
Our team of licensed clinicians has spent decades helping people across southwestern Pennsylvania find their footing again — through anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and everything in between.
We've walked alongside thousands of people who came to us feeling stuck and left with something they didn't have before: a way forward.
That's what we're here for. And we're ready when you are."
