My path to becoming a therapist has been anything but traditional. I earned my bachelor's degree in Fashion Design from Kent State University before discovering my passion for helping others, which led me to earn a master's degree in School Counseling from Long Island University in Brooklyn, New York.
For nearly 10 years, I have worked as an in-school counselor at a public high school, supporting adolescents through life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, helping clients build practical coping skills, increase self-confidence, and navigate difficult moments with resilience.
My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Pittsburgh, PA
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Pittsburgh starts with looking for identity-affirming care that matches your needs. An affirming therapist may support people exploring sexual orientation, gender identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress. As you compare options, look for therapists who list experience with affirmative therapy, WPATH-informed training, gender-diverse clients, or LGBTQIA+ communities in their profiles. The right fit goes beyond clinical training — it also includes feeling respected in how a therapist describes their approach, communication style, and areas of focus.
Pittsburgh has a range of therapists across neighborhoods and nearby communities, but affirming options can vary by location, schedule, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your choices if an office near you has limited availability or if video sessions fit your calendar better than travel to an in-person appointment. When narrowing your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that work for you, provides a free phone consultation, and has background or lived experience that matters to your care. Reading therapist bios can help you see who explicitly mentions LGBTQIA+ care, pride mental health, gender identity, or relationship support before you book.
Therapy in Pittsburgh can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you compare LGBTQIA+ therapists in Pittsburgh who are accepting new clients, review their bios, check appointment availability, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details. From there, you can browse therapists, review fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
