Therapists for college students near Pittsburgh, PA
[ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS FOR WEDNESDAYS, SATURDAYS, AND SUNDAYS] [NOTE: I cannot accent clients who attend the University of Pittsburgh due to a conflict of interest] My mission is to join with others in pursuit of healing, empowerment, and liberation. Those who work with me are often exploring issues of gender, sexuality, and race; privilege, marginalization, and systemic oppression; complex trauma; and relationships. We often focus on alleviating the anxiety, depression, and disconnection from self and others that can come with these experiences. Together, we work towards building self-understanding so you can make decisions about your life and relationships with awareness and intention. I am a queer, agender, social justice-focused and relationally-oriented therapist. Central to my approach is curiosity about the cultural systems and personal relationships that shape your experience. I also have experience integrating tarot, ritual, and dream work as therapeutic tools. I am happy to incorporate your personal healing practices into our work. The relationship we build is our greatest tool for healing. I approach therapy as a collaborator, and work with clients to create a relationship characterized by trust, safety, authenticity, vulnerability, and warmth, humility, and genuine care. We can dream up what healing looks like and strive towards it together.
Do you ever feel “stuck” in life? Do you feel discouraged or struggle to make changes to promote healing and growth? Are you ready to take the first step? Let me help guide you to make these changes consciously. My job is to help you find the answers you are looking for to live the life you want and deserve. Together we can work to identify goals and establish a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs. My focus of counseling is rooted in cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness while also creating a safe and therapeutic environment. Through therapy and helping you understand the root of your beliefs and thoughts, you can change and let go of any unwanted thoughts and behaviors so you can live a life worth living. I have extensive experience treating individuals with substance use disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, grief and loss, trauma, and relationship issues. It is important to me to foster an environment where you can safely and freely explore, expand and grow into your most authentic self. I’m here to help you in this journey.
I strive to encourage a self-driven sense of wellness with all individuals I work with. Since 2015 I have worked with individuals coming from an array of backgrounds, challenges, circumstances, and stories. Having worked with professionals from diverse specialties (psychological, psychiatric, medical, occupational, nursing) I like to take a collaborative and eclectic approach to mental health and therapy. Regardless of a person's background it is possible to achieve relief from depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, and relational challenges.

At Pittsburgh Therapy Group, we specialize in EMDR therapy to treat childhood trauma, insecure attachment, and anxiety issues. Guided by our mindfulness and strengths based approaches, we help clients recognize their existing strengths while also teaching new skills to live happier, healthier, and more present lives.
People seek therapy when they are in pain. This pain may show up as anxiety, depression, loneliness, compulsive behaviors, addiction or a combination of these. My job as your therapist is to meet you where you are and to understand your experience, your pain, and to help you move forward. The goal is to create a collaboration in which you have the support and safety to begin to challenge thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that may be holding you back and causing suffering. I will guide you in this work with warmth, humor, respect, and acceptance. I work with a variety of modalities, including psychodynamic, person-centered therapy and more symptom-focused modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. However, as with all therapies, it is the relationship we create that is most vital. I have limited evening and Sunday availability, but I primarily see clients during the day on weekdays. In your initial visit we will talk about your goals and challenges and you can get a sense of how I work. I look forward to meeting you.

Currently see adolescents and adults for diagnostic evaluations, medication therapy and psychotherapy.

As a therapist, I strive to provide my patients with a balance of validation and challenge. When we feel stuck, it can seem impossible to take action and make change. Together, we can explore your strengths and how those can guide you through your fears and anxieties. I utilize a strength-based, trauma-focused approach that is designed to treat you as an individual, with all the unique experiences and perspectives you bring to the therapy setting.
Sometimes life is difficult to navigate and it is hard to understand why.

If you are experiencing hardship or you just need a place to process life in a supportive environment, we are here to help.

Hi! I'm from Pittsburgh and proud to be practicing in my home town. Therapy ranges from directive to less structured approaches. Directive approaches involve identifying a specific problem and starting interventions including skill building for the client. Less directive therapy involves self exploration and understanding our symptoms in an interpersonal context. These two approaches can be combined, tailored to the client. The client's responsibility is committing to therapy, and showing up weekly at the designated time, and engaging in the process. While the therapist is an expert in psychology, the client is an expect in themselves and is ultimately the source of change and improvement. I see myself as a guide, helping the client see things they may have missed or avoided, and making connections that wouldn't otherwise be obvious. The process is collaborative and frequently rewarding.
