Bethel Park Office
“One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.”–André Gide
My goal as a therapist is to build strong relationships with my clients and, through the safety of the therapeutic relationship, to empower them to explore new ways of thinking and behaving in order to achieve their goals in life.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 10 years of clinical experience, and I am also the Clinical Supervisor of the Bethel Park (Drake Road) office at South Hills Counseling. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting many individuals in outpatient therapy as they have navigated a variety of challenges – from serious mental illnesses to more transient stressors. I have assisted clients from a wide range of backgrounds, and I have worked extensively with teenagers and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, phobias, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, mania, aggression, interpersonal difficulties, suicidal/homicidal ideation, non-suicidal self-injury, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and psychosis.
My primary treatment modalities include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and client-centered therapy, but I will always seek to tailor the therapeutic process to meet each of my clients’ individual needs. Regardless of the specific modality, I strive to instill hope in all of my clients that change is possible and that, by walking together in the counseling process, we can implement any necessary changes to help them lead happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives.
