Therapists » Marriage & Family Therapist
As a therapist I believe all people have the inherent strength to make positive life changes and often just need empowered through compassionate support. We all have times in our lives when we get stuck in our relationships and just need new effective ways of coping and communicating. I practice from a trauma focused and structural family perspective. I have been very successful in helping couples, families, individuals, and adolescents make positive changes that have lead to feelings of peace, healing, a sense of personal accomplishment, and problem resolution. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have 18 years of experience working with children, adolescents, couples, and adults. I am trained in EMDR and utilize this highly effective evidence based protocol for treating trauma based issues. I practice from a trauma-focused structural family perspective. My background is unique in that I have always held two positions working full time with children and adolescents and part time with couples and adults. I accept clients with the following insurances: Highmark, Beacon Value-Options, Cigna, UPMC and Private Pay.
