About Pia
Life can become overwhelming, even for the people who appear to have everything together. You may find yourself constantly worrying, feeling emotionally exhausted, struggling with anxiety or depression, grieving a loss, navigating a difficult relationship, or simply wondering why you don't feel like yourself anymore. Sometimes you've spent so much time taking care of everyone else that you've forgotten how to care for yourself. You don't have to go through it alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience helping adults navigate life's most difficult moments with compassion, honesty, and practical support. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. Together, we'll identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck, build healthier ways of coping, and help you move toward the life you want to create. I work with individuals experiencing: • Anxiety and chronic stress • Depression and low motivation • Trauma and childhood wounds • Grief and loss • Life transitions • Relationship challenges • Self-esteem and confidence issues • Burnout and work-related stress • Women's issues • LGBTQ+ concerns • Racial and cultural identity concerns • Family conflict • Emotional regulation • Personal growth and self-discovery My approach is collaborative, warm, and solution-focused while recognizing that lasting change takes time. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, Solution-Focused Therapy, strengths-based interventions, attachment-based work, and mindfulness to create a treatment plan that fits your unique needs and goals. I know that asking for help isn't always easy. Many people worry they'll be judged, won't know what to say, or think they should be able to handle everything on their own. The truth is that seeking therapy is a sign of strength, not weakness. Healing begins when you give yourself permission to be supported. Whether you're looking to better manage anxiety, heal from painful experiences, improve your relationships, build confidence, or simply rediscover who you are, I'm here to help you every step of the way. You deserve more than just getting through each day. You deserve to feel at peace, connected, and hopeful about your future. If you're ready to begin that journey, I would be honored to work with you. Read more Show less
