About
Looking for a therapist who gets it—and keeps it real? I’m a trauma-certified counselor from western Pennsylvania, bringing a grounded, “blue-collar” perspective to therapy. My top priority is building a strong therapeutic relationship so you feel safe discussing life’s uncomfortable topics. I work with clients facing trauma, substance use, co-occurring disorders, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and more. Together, we’ll explore beyond diagnoses to core beliefs, perceptions, and patterns, using an open, collaborative, and growth-focused approach. Therapy can feel intimidating—it’s a place where people confront uncomfortable topics in an unfamiliar setting. That’s why I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship. Establishing rapport is the cornerstone of successful therapy, as feeling comfortable with your therapist makes it easier to navigate those challenging conversations.
