Psychoanalytic Therapists in Mount Lebanon, PA

As a Psychotherapist and Physician Assistant with nearly a decade of mental health experience in inpatient, outpatient, and addiction treatment settings, I’m particularly grounded in the diversity of people’s suffering and what helps provide relief. Whether you struggle with the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, intense inner criticism, or ongoing shame, my first priority is always to create a space where meaningful therapeutic work can take hold. Holding space for caring, honest self-examination while I remain actively and supportively involved are essential ingredients for personal growth and progress.

I offer an interpersonal/psychodynamic approach to working with individuals with anxiety, depression, personality, life and relationship issues.Treatment is personalized to meet each patient's needs. I have been practicing for over 25 years and offer individual, couple, family, psychoanalysis ,and psychodynamic therapy. i also supervise psychiatric residents at Western Psychiatric Institute, teach at the Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Center,worked in the Family Division of the Courts, and spent 15 years as a professional member of the State Board of Psychology. I will be glad to speak with you regarding your personal issues and answer questions.

In my practice I offer a space for you to say what cannot be said anywhere else. It is an unconditional welcome to speak what is most real for you; and to speak freely, fully, and without censorship. Dreams, fantasies, memories. Ruptures and traumas. Experiences of love and sexuality as lived in your body and relational bonds. Crises, complaints, and all of the repetitions that happen again and again. These formations (and more) we raise to the dignity of what is most unknown and alive within you. Read deeply into yourself and articulate the 'other scenes' between the lines of lived experience.

Hello, I am interested in meeting with Veterans. I am here to listen and understand your experience. I provide a welcoming, protective, and stable environment for you to discuss your experiences and difficulties in order for you to heal.

I AM currently accepting new clients. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I work from a psychotherapeutic perspective grounded in humanistic and modern psychoanalytic practice. I work with individuals to explore their current suffering, symptoms, problems, and relationships and how these themes are related to earlier patterns of experience. My focus is on gaining a deep understanding of the individuals I work with that pays great respect to the person’s unique personality style, cultural differences, differences in sexual orientation and gender experience, and unique relationship patterns.

As your therapist, I will help you cultivate self-compassion, curiosity, and courage to confront your life challenges. My work with each client is individualized and collaborative depending on a multitude of client factors. My approach is warm, well-rounded, and authentic. I will ensure that your therapeutic outcomes are meaningful and sustainable. You will feel seen, heard, and supported in every step of our work. I use an integrated trauma-informed, feminist, humanistic, psychoanalytic, relational, and existential approach to therapy that fosters openness and curiosity.

I am a doctoral level clinical psychologist. I see individuals from early adulthood through old age and have specialized training in: depression, anxiety, development across the lifespan, gender/sexuality, grief & loss, stress management & mindfulness practices, university counselling (including working with international populations), geriatrics, and issues related to intimacy/relationships. I offer both in person and telehealth (virtual) sessions.

As a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, I am uniquely suited to provide holistic care. A psychoanalytic therapy approach offers a highly effective form of treatment through a comprehensive and nuanced framework for working with and addressing trauma, anxiety, depression, identity struggles, low self-esteem, a lostness around a sense of self, struggles in your connections to other people, and feelings of meaninglessness. If advisable, I can also provide careful expert medication management. Together, we will embark on a collaborative exploration, delving into your unique background and personal influences as we work towards healing.

I offer a form of psychotherapy for individuals who are seeking not only to find solutions to life’s struggles but also to make deeper changes through self-understanding, shifting ongoing patterns, and gaining new perspectives. My approach is suited for individuals seeking to develop more satisfying relationships and careers, face life’s challenges and transitions, and develop the psychological freedom to become the person they want to be.

When we are in the middle of finding out about ourselves, solving the problems that we sometimes have no solutions, or mourning what life has brought us, we are growing- Mentally, Emotionally, and Spiritually. Therapy is a place where you can embrace all those things through holding space for wellness and healing. As a clinician who specializes in the healing of Black and Brown people, I ensure that I use therapy modalities and the lived experience to assist in the healing process.
