Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


Some people experience fear that holds them back. Others are so weighed down by the complexities of life that it feels like there is not enough energy to do anything. Over time, they shift further and further away from the person that they know they can be, but they feel like they’ve already tried everything and feel stuck. If you can resonate, the bravest thing you can do is reach out. We all have core beliefs that define how we see ourselves and the world. These beliefs have huge implications for our emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns. Some are positive and helpful, and others are fear-based and limiting.


I help people gain awareness of their limiting core beliefs so they can actively reframe them, if necessary, into more beneficial and realistic beliefs. Together, we can explore the internal and external factors that impact not only your beliefs, but the feelings, behaviors, and relationships associated with those beliefs.


I collaborate with individuals, couples, and families, and together, we work to accomplish the changes they desperately want to make. If you are ready for a change, know I will be right by your side as you reclaim joy, face your fears, and begin to feel at peace with yourself again (or maybe even for the first time).

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Pittsburgh

Finding the right therapist in Pittsburgh starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want help with a specific concern — like anxiety, depression, ADHD, or relationship challenges — or broader support during a life transition. Look for a licensed provider (such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist) who has experience with your particular needs. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they might be a good match.

Pittsburgh has a large and varied mental health provider community, with therapists practicing across neighborhoods from Oakland and Shadyside to the North Shore and South Side. Some providers offer in-person sessions, while others see patients virtually — or both. Practical factors like scheduling, location, and whether a provider offers a free introductory phone consultation can make a real difference in finding someone you feel comfortable with.

Therapy in Pittsburgh can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Many patients pay as low as $0 per session. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
