Therapist with 10yrs experience providing therapy to adults and teens using evidence-based techniques. Accepts Aetna and Highmark insurance.

I have been working as a clinical social worker and psychotherapist for over 25 years. I have a wide variety of experience in different diagnostic categories as well as expertise in common social and environmental challenges that many people face. In working with clients, I generally use a psychodynamic approach which is based on psychoanalytic principles. As such, I provide a warm and accepting atmosphere and help people start to better understand themselves, accept responsibility for what they can control and recognize what they can't. Through this ongoing self-awareness, clients are better able to bring certain unconscious motivations and behaviors to the surface and better understand their particular repetitions and patterns. Many clients experience great relief in this process and are often then better equipped to take on the difficulties that may come up in their lives.

Most therapists will smile, nod, and ask, “How does that make you feel?”—but if that actually fixed the problem, you wouldn’t still be looking for someone who gets it. I believe people come to therapy because they’re tired of feeling alone with their struggles, not because they want a scripted response. My specialty is addiction recovery, but I’ve learned over the years that addiction rarely travels solo. It brings along old wounds, shame, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and the feeling that you’re supposed to hold everything together on your own. My approach is steady, honest, and human, and I meet you where you are. I don’t offer cookie-cutter advice or quick fixes. Therapy with me is about uncovering the resilience you already have—even if you’ve stopped believing in it. Whatever you’re facing—addiction, relationship pain, or something you can’t yet name—I’ll meet you there with honesty, compassion, and zero judgment.
