Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


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.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive experience supporting adolescents, adults, and older adults through life’s most challenging transitions. My background spans mental health therapy, crisis intervention, trauma recovery, child welfare, and geriatric care, which allows me to work with clients from a holistic, compassionate, and well-rounded perspective.

I use a strength-based, trauma-informed, and person-centered approach, meeting each client where they are and honoring their unique experiences. My clinical work integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed skills, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to set meaningful goals, build coping skills, and create sustainable change.

I have experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also bring a strong background in crisis support and safety planning, ensuring clients feel supported, grounded, and safe throughout the therapeutic process.

Above all, I strive to provide a warm, non-judgmental, and culturally responsive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to your needs, with a focus on helping you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Find the right therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Pittsburgh, PA

Searching for therapists in Pittsburgh starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want to address. Pittsburgh therapists may support concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare options, look for therapists who list specialties, populations, or therapy approaches that fit your needs. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what sessions may be like.

Pittsburgh has therapy options across neighborhoods and nearby communities, with both in-person and virtual appointments available. An office near your home, workplace, or transit route may matter if you prefer in-person care. Virtual sessions may fit better if your schedule changes or you want more choice across Pennsylvania. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s style, focus areas, and approach to care.

Therapy in Pittsburgh can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready. You can filter by location, appointment type, specialty, and insurance plan, making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is accepting new patients.

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