She was quickly able to assess what points I could work on and gave me multiple ways to do it. I do feel like she understands what I am going through and is reassuring without it being fake.

Hi there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the Pittsburgh, PA, USA area. I'm always honored when people let me be a part of their life and journey. I use a collaborative approach to help figure out what matters most to you and how we can build that reality. I focus a lot on strategies that help you build a more compassionate view of yourself, find some peace in daily life, and communicate what you need.
This can include things like working to understand more about how your own mind, body, and experiences shape your day-to-day life, as well as finding practices to re-shape your relationship with yourself and others. We also look at finding a balance with your commitments in a way that fits with your values, and work through difficult decisions in life, health, and family.
I might be a good fit for you if:
-You find yourself "overthinking" things and worrying a lot
-You feel down and have trouble enjoying the things you used to
-Your family or partner is stressing you out
-You have a hard time telling someone when they have hurt you emotionally
-You are helping take care of someone who is aging or sick
-You feel stuck in life and aren't sure what to do next
The approaches I draw on most are cognitive behavioral therapy (how we think and act), mindfulness-based therapy (finding acceptance and calm), and DBT (handling emotions and communication). I love to help people understand how their minds and emotions work, so that you have the tools to get and stay healthy!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
