We sometimes find ourselves struggling with major life changes, day-to-day stressors, and physical health issues. These can lead to depression, anxiety, panic, and/or other negative feelings that can be overwhelming and cause disruption in day-to-day functioning and in relationships. Sometimes, these situations and feelings can even trigger traumas from the past, which can lead to further dysfunction. It can be a tough decision to take the step to call a therapist, but it can also be the first step towards taking back your life.

Challenges differ, but each matter, my goal is to help each client face and overcome their individual challenges, to the best of their ability. I specialize in teenagers and their families; and the struggles and difficulties that are faced during this age.

To be seen and known by others is an incredible feeling of connection but it means being authentic and vulnerable. Sadly, we live in a time with the illusion of connection while being more disconnected than ever. You may feel disconnected from others and even from yourself. Though you are a gift to this world, it is often blocked and unexpressed. This may leave you feeling alone and invisible. The truth is, you may be starving for deeper connection and that starvation looks like depression, anxiety, stress, and more. When you are living disconnected, you are abandoning yourself.

If you find yourself facing the aftermath of trauma, or navigating the intricate landscape of grief and loss, I am here to offer support and understanding.

From kids to seniors, my practice spans across generations. Each age group receives personalized support designed to address their specific life stages and challenges.

Life can often be challenging. You may feel you've gotten "off track" and need some direction. You may be overwhelmed with things and don't know what to do or how to make it better. It may be starting to affect your relationships, and you don't know how to stop it. You may be wondering what's wrong with you and why this keeps happening, or whether you're depressed. Perhaps you're having panic attacks that come out of nowhere. Or maybe you seem to have developed social anxiety. Perhaps you just don't feel like yourself or aren't content with your life. You want things to be different, you just don't know how to make that happen. You might be wondering whether you're always going to feel this way. You've got a lot going for you, you've accomplished quite a bit, but it still feels like there's something missing. You're not sure what else to do. Most of us feel this way at some point in our lives. Especially when trying to handle the stress of life, relationships and the impact of certain events all at once.

Hello Beautiful! Yes you! I believe every part of you is important & that you CAN find what you seek & achieve a balance. Sometimes we just need someone to listen. My ears are all yours! I strive to create a safe space for us to work together one step at a time, building a trusting relationship where we can explore your world, what you are experiencing & what you need. Together we will create a plan of treatment to help you achieve your goals! I have a varied & unique background of life experiences that I apply to my practice; & enjoy working with individuals from all walks of life.

I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 16 years experience working with individuals on a variety of needs. I have worked at an outpatient mental health clinic, in a therapeutic preschool, and, most recently, ran and directed a college counseling center. My past experiences include working with adults, families, students of all ages, and children as young as 3. I am currently working with adults and children as young as 12 but will consider younger children on a case by case basis.

Throughout my career I have worked with DV, at risk youth, mentally ill, substance abuse, forensic mental health, court mandated clients in residential settings, OPMH clinics, treatment courts, NYS prisons & state operated psychiatric centers. I also have supervised the service delivery of several community based programs (SPOA, AOT, Hospital Diversion, Forensic Case Management, Crisis Services Coordination, Youth in Probation, Raise the Age & partnered w/ DSS to provide Behavioral Health/Recovery services to jointly served CPS clients). No matter the client, setting or issue I treat everyone with the the respect they deserve.

My therapeutic approach explores ways for individuals and families to navigate the presenting challenges and to pro-actively prepare for their future in a safe and supportive environment. I emphasize the use of a person-centered, trauma informed, and insight-based approach in collaboration with evidence based therapeutic interventions.

Finding a therapist we feel safe enough to be vulnerable with can be overwhelming. This alone can make the decision of whether or not to enter into therapy even more stressful than it needs to be. Emotions being complex in themselves can make it even more challenging to figure out where to begin to open up. If you are someone who finds yourself struggling with coping with intense emotions, making decisions you’ve later found yourself regretting, replaying back your past, worried about the future and having difficulties building meaningful relationships, I may be a good fit for you!

Currently accepting new clients for weekday and weeknight telehealth sessions. My goal is to help you become a healthier, happier and more peaceful version of yourself. I work with adults struggling with life transitions, stress management, substance use, relationship issues, anxiety, and PTSD. If you are looking for an extra layer of support during challenging times, I can help you to navigate your feelings, address underlying issues, build healthier habits and change your mindset. Together, we can help you to learn more about yourself so that you can live a life of authenticity.

For over 20 years, I've had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families in a variety of settings. For the majority of those years, I have been providing mental health therapy to individuals suffering from depression, anxiety and mood disorders, to name a few. I feel that I have a unique way of using everyday language to help people better understand how to cope with life's challenges. I am diverse in my treatment approach, which I feel is necessary in treating the unique challenges in today's world.

Experiences and circumstances have a way of changing how we perceive and understand the world around us. They alter the way we act or behave, the way we think, and the way we respond to different events or challenges that may occur in life. When we take the time to explore how we act, think, and feel we can access new parts of ourselves and gain understanding of how we interact with others in our life. “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. Let go of who you think you’re supposed to be; and embrace who you are.”

Experiencing emotional pain and setbacks can lead our minds to limit us due to fear of failure, rejection, or abandonment. As your therapist my approach is supportive, compassionate, and practical. Together, we'll explore your past experiences, understand your symptoms, and develop a plan to help you live better. I utilize a holistic approach integrating various techniques, including EMDR, to personalize your treatment. I'll offer support and guidance as you build on your strengths and achieve personal growth.
