(she/they)
Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I received my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from California University of Pennsylvania. I have been practicing for 7 years and have worked in addiction treatment, perinatal mental health, crisis intervention, and with clients with severe mental health diagnoses. Not only have I provided therapeutic services but I have also been an assessment specialist for diagnosis and case management!
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I have experience in many different types of treatment and many different types of populations. Due to my time spent in crisis intervention services, I have been able to build resilience and passion to help others get to a happy and stable place within their lives.
I love working with all types of clients! However, I do enjoy working with those struggling with addiction, perinatal and adoption struggles, and severe mental health the most. My goal is to provide the tools for my clients so they can live fulfilling lives!
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I frequently use this practice to help clients find coping skills to increase overall life satisfaction. This is my favorite treatment method! I have been trained in ACT and have used it in all types of treatment in my practice (addiction, perinatal mental health, depression, and anxiety).
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have used CBT in conjunction with ACT over the course of my career. This method has been very beneficial for my clients with depression and anxiety.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I have worked through the CPT manual with multiple clients throughout my career while working on processing their PTSD.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT has been a great help to my clients struggling with all types of mental health struggles. This has provided great coping skills that my clients can utilize day-to-day.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing is the base of what I build all my other techniques off of.
