I’m a licensed psychotherapist who blends practical tools with a calm, trauma-informed approach. I help adults and couples reduce anxiety, improve communication, and feel steadier in their bodies and relationships. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. You’ll get clear goals, gentle structure, and skills you can use between sessions. My work draws from attachment theory, CBT/ACT, IFS-informed parts work, and somatic regulation so change is felt, not just understood. Clients describe me as grounding and thoughtful; they leave sessions with language for what they’re feeling and simple steps to move forward. I’m culturally responsive and sensitive to faith, family roles, and identity. You don’t have to explain your background to be understood here. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of patterns, and build flexible habits that support the life you want.

My path to becoming a therapist started as a teenager. I was always passionate about helping others and getting to the root of how to help with solving their problems. As a teen, I worked in the behavioral health unit of a local clinic. I aspired to be like one of the therapists or nurse practitioners there. Seeing clients come in for their appointments and being able to sit in on certain group sessions was all so exciting for me. I have always been attracted to the field of psychology, which I majored in for my undergraduate degree. It was my abnormal psych class in undergrad that changed my life forever. I will never forget being so drawn to and interested in the different mental health disorders in the DSM. I spoke with my professor after class and asked how I could work with individuals who experienced mental health concerns. She mentioned obtaining a degree in mental health counseling and then a license. So, I completed grad school and obtained my license.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by New York rather than a city like New York City?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across New York from Buffalo to Rochester! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in New York.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Grief?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Grief, is filtering therapists in New York that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
