About
When the burdens of life leave us feeling like it’s a struggle to breathe as we’re slowly sinking in quicksand, it can feel impossible to recognize any other way to live. I believe that listening is paramount to learning and better understanding an individual so that trust and genuine care remain cornerstones of the therapy process. Whether it’s intrusive thoughts, external stressors, or anything that causes you to feel unsettled, I want us to collaborate so that you will be empowered to discover your own innate strengths.
I have experience working with families and individuals who have experienced trauma, loss, depression, and anxiety. My approach is strength-based, person-centered, and I primarily employ general Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. Seeking out and engaging in therapy can be a difficult journey. If my approach seems like it may be a good fit for you please contact me.
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."
