Some people experience fear that holds them back. Others are so weighed down by the complexities of life that it feels like there is not enough energy to do anything. Over time, they shift further and further away from the person that they know they can be, but they feel like they’ve already tried everything and feel stuck. If you can resonate, the bravest thing you can do is reach out. We all have core beliefs that define how we see ourselves and the world. These beliefs have huge implications for our emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns. Some are positive and helpful, and others are fear-based and limiting.
I help people gain awareness of their limiting core beliefs so they can actively reframe them, if necessary, into more beneficial and realistic beliefs. Together, we can explore the internal and external factors that impact not only your beliefs, but the feelings, behaviors, and relationships associated with those beliefs.
I collaborate with individuals, couples, and families, and together, we work to accomplish the changes they desperately want to make. If you are ready for a change, know I will be right by your side as you reclaim joy, face your fears, and begin to feel at peace with yourself again (or maybe even for the first time).

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Pittsburgh
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.
