I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor with an abundance of training in anxiety, depression, stress management, marital/relationship issues, self esteem issues and adjustment disorders brought on by a major life change, such as divorce, relocation or a new baby.
As a therapist I am very curious and seek to understand the client’s worldview, thought process, history, behavioral patterns, stressors and how they all contribute to how the person feels. My clients can expect me to listen to their concerns with a nonjudgmental stance and recommending different strategies to help them with what they are going through.
In my therapy sessions I utilize mostly Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Humanistic Therapy and Mindfulness modalities. I have been trained in a variety of other helpful clinical interventions that I use to compliment our therapy sessions.
My goal as a therapist and a holistic life coach is to work collaboratively with you on your healing journey. Transformation happens on the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical levels, taking the whole person into consideration. I can support you in moving from coping to healing to thriving.

Accepting clients in NY
I am a licensed clinical psychologist. I have worked with clients presenting with a variety of therapy concerns. I work with clients on helping them identify the concerns they would like to work on. We come up with therapy goals to help address those concerns. We discuss how to address those goals and how to prioritize those goals so that we can work on things in a manageable manner.

Chittenango, NY - Accepting clients in NY
I have over 15 years of psychotherapy experience as an LCSW-R based in NY. I enjoy working with ages 12 and over focusing on life transitions, anxiety related concerns, sports performance, as well as many other areas of need. I want to help clients find the best version of themselves and be able to find success in their treatment goals.
