Our therapists provide marriage counseling in Pittsburgh, PA

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 10 years of experience supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and relationship systems. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, identity exploration, communication challenges, and complex relationship dynamics. Many of the people I work with are seeking deeper self-understanding, stronger connections, and practical tools to manage emotions and build relationships that feel authentic and secure.

I earned my master’s degree in professional counseling from Carlow University. My approach is warm, collaborative, and affirming. I draw from evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and relational therapy, to help clients better understand patterns, regulate emotions, and communicate more effectively.

Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and you deserve a space where you can show up fully as yourself without judgment. Whether you’re exploring identity or navigating relationships, I would be honored to walk alongside you and support meaningful, sustainable change.
