Are you tired of carrying things that are just too heavy for you to carry alone anymore? As a licensed professional counselor, I can help you carry that load. In my 12 years as a counselor, I've worked with families, children, adolescents, and adults of all ages in homes, outpatient offices, and online. I have a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision, and have taught in graduate counseling programs, but my first love is working directly with individuals who are dealing with the effects of trauma, grief, burnout, or anxiety. I am a Christian and would be happy to incorporate your spiritual beliefs, whether Christian or not, into our work together, if desired.

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I built my practice around a conviction I've held since I started in this field: you are capable of more than the patterns that have been holding you back. My job is to help you see that clearly and give you the tools to act on it.

As a Black male therapist with a supervisor-level license (LPCC-S) and a certification in Trauma-Focused CBT, I bring both clinical depth and lived perspective to my work — particularly for men, for clients navigating trauma and its ripple effects, and for couples trying to understand each other across that pain.

I'm licensed in Ohio and Pennsylvania, trained at Youngstown State University, and serve clients via telehealth across both states with flexible morning, evening, and weekend availability.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Pittsburgh

Searching for couples therapists in Pittsburgh starts with knowing what you want to work on together. Couples therapy can support communication breakdowns, conflict patterns, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, parenting disagreements, and relationship stress. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so look for details in their profiles about Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credentials, the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, or other couples counseling experience.

In a mid-sized city like Pittsburgh, you may find strong options across neighborhoods while still needing to compare schedules, session format, and fit for both partners. Some couples prefer meeting in person, while others use virtual appointments to make scheduling easier across work, caregiving, or commute needs. As you compare Pittsburgh couples counseling options, review each therapist’s bio for how they structure sessions, whether they offer a brief consultation, and how they describe working with both partners.

Marriage counseling in Pittsburgh can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready to choose someone who matches your needs and schedule.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
