While every person's journey is unique, many clients report feeling more hopeful, confident, and emotionally grounded as they begin the therapeutic process. Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and never judged.

For more than a decade, I've worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and everyday stress. I believe that the foundation of successful therapy is a genuine, trusting relationship. I take the time to get to know you, meet you where you are, and tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals.

Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. They appreciate that I balance listening and validation with practical tools they can begin using in their daily lives. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is that you'll leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with strategies to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Pittsburgh

Finding family therapists in Pittsburgh starts with naming what your family wants support with. Family therapy may focus on parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication across generations, or relationship strain between partners and parents. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with family systems, parent-teen support, couples counseling for parents, or other concerns that match your situation.

In a mid-sized city like Pittsburgh, you may find family counselors in Pittsburgh, PA with offices near your neighborhood, along with therapists who offer virtual appointments across Pennsylvania. In-person sessions may fit families who prefer a shared office setting, while virtual care can make it easier for family members in different locations or with different schedules to attend. Session structure can also vary — some sessions may include the full family, while others may include parents, siblings, couples, or one family member. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand their approach, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Family counseling in Pittsburgh, PA can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who focus on family issues, review estimated costs before booking, and see who is accepting new patients. You can compare bios, filter by insurance and appointment type, and book directly when you’re ready.

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.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
