Hello! I am a licensed therapist (LPC) based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with life experiences across cultures and around the world. My main hope is for my clients to feel safe and comfortable so they can sort through the important issues of their lives and make meaningful change they define themselves, with a little help and encouragement. I look forward to working together!
In our first session, people can expect to be asked more questions than usual. My hope is to jump right in and get to know a client organically along the way.
My greatest strengths are my integrity and my authenticity. I will absolutely make mistakes from time to time, and I will also be accountable for them. I encourage people to be less hard on themselves with reminders and by demonstrating my own willingness to be comfortable making mistakes. If being hard on yourself was going to work, it would've worked already!
The radical belief that all people are doing the best we can with what we have at any moment. As we are able to do better, we do.
I believe real change happens in the present moment. As we build awareness of ourselves, others, and the environment around us, we become more empowered to create changes in our lives.
What we go through in life forms and changes our perspective in massively significant ways. Growing our awareness of this influence is a powerful tool.
