My Approach
I believe that our psyches are brilliantly adaptive. Psychotherapy provides a unique, interpersonal space where you can address your situation in new ways in the supportive, skilled company of another. As that designated other, I offer a warm and steady presence, a gentle sense of humor, and a genuine curiosity toward the unfolding of your story. We can start where you are, navigate what's brought you in, and help you illuminate your way forward together.
My approach draws from Existential and Feminist Theory, as well as from Narrative Therapy. I value working with the whole person, and will incorporate your strengths, values, and interests into sessions, along with your presenting concerns. I also offer walk and talk sessions to bring nature and physical movement into the process of self-exploration.
Experience and Training
I graduated from The University of Vermont in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, and then completed Chatham University's Master of Science in Counseling Psychology program in 2014.
I completed my EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) training with the Trauma Institute and Child Trauma Institute (TICTI), and was trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy through the Internal Family Systems Counselling Association of Canada.
​
I have worked in abortion care, domestic violence, sexual assault, and community mental health settings, crisis services, and in the public school system.
In 2018, I started a private practice in Athens, Georgia that I transitioned to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the summer of 2021. I currently offer in-person care at my Regent Square office, and telehealth services to Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Georgia residents.
I am an LGBTQIA+ Affirming provider, and welcome working with people of all backgrounds and identities.
​
I am eternally grateful to the clients, mentors, and fellow therapists who continue to teach me, even after our time together. Thank you.

Contact Me
If my approach and areas of focus speak to you, or if you have any questions about my work, please feel free to contact me.
Before scheduling an appointment, I offer a free, 20-minute phone consultation to determine if my approach and your needs align. Finding a good match is so important to getting the most out of therapy. If we decide not to work together, I will offer three referrals for others in the field who have upcoming availability, and who may be a better fit for you.
