Hello! I am passionate about utilizing movement based interventions to help clients improve their mental health. As a Certified RunWalkTalk(R) Therapist (runwalktalk.com), I encourage the use of movement, such as walking, running, or hiking in therapy sessions instead of the traditional in-office sit down sessions. I work with my clients on bike paths, trail systems, and in park settings. I also offer Telehealth as an option for clients in NY and FL who prefer the flexibility of video or phone sessions.

In my practice, counseling can include humor; both laughter and tears are important parts of healing and growing. While I certainly respect that serious matters are discussed in therapy, we can usually find ways to enjoy our progress.
