I hold a doctoral degree in counseling psychology from the University at Albany, with specialized training in psychodynamic therapy. Over the past 14 years, I have developed an eclectic practice, working across diverse settings that have deepened my understanding of the human condition. Through this experience, I have come to appreciate both the resilience individuals possess and the challenges they face when striving toward their goals while carrying the weight of past experiences and ingrained patterns. I recognize how daily life can sometimes feel burdensome, leading to a sense of being “stuck.” I believe the therapeutic relationship provides a supportive space to gain clarity and renewed energy, helping clients move forward and foster meaningful growth.

“Therapy for kids who don’t think it’s for them, parents in the thick of it, and women who are doing everything for everyone—except themselves.” Sound like you or someone you love? Well…I’ve got you covered! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in preteens and teenagers navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and the complicated space between parents and kids. Much of my experience was built inside a school-based health clinic at the middle school level. Working with students in the middle of their actual world, not just an office. That perspective shapes everything about how I work. As an elder millennial and a parent, myself, I understand the impossible math of work-life balance. The guilt of feeling stretched too thin and the fear that you’re somehow getting it wrong. You’re not failing your kid. You’re here, and that’s what matters. My approach is warm but direct, grounded in evidence-based practice and genuine connection. I meet kids where they are… not where we think they should be. I work alongside parents as partners, not critics. Because you know your child better than anyone. My job is to help you find each other again. I also have a passion of working with women of all ages who are navigating careers, life, the world we live in and all of the complexities in between. I provide a judgement free, open space to live your truth and get answers to those questions that keep you up at night. If any of this resonates, I’d love to connect.

I began my career working in family crisis services, including child protection and foster care. I’ve also supported individuals with disabilities and provided career guidance through my work with the state. While these experiences have shaped my approach, individual and group counseling are truly where I feel most passionate and effective. I am a Christian and draw strength from my faith. For clients who would like to incorporate spirituality into our work, I am happy to do so. At the same time, I fully respect and support clients who prefer a non-spiritual approach—your comfort and goals guide the process.

I provide neurodivergent-informed evaluations and therapy that are trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and gender-affirming focused on autism, ADHD, and co-occurring diagnoses. Evaluations are deeply collaborative and tailored to client goals, which may include diagnostic clarification, support for accommodations (as determined during the consultation call), accessing appropriate prescribers, improving resource accessibility, and making sense of past experiences through a neurodiversity-affirming lens. Each evaluation centers the individual’s voice and story—offering a meaningful, strengths-based understanding of their lived experience. As a provider who is neurodivergent and has significant personal and professional experience in therapy and evaluation for individuals with autism and ADHD, my commitment is to deliver compassionate and thorough care. I aim to empower you with the knowledge, skills, and support necessary to navigate your diagnosis and achieve a fulfilling life.

Therapy can feel broad and overwhelming. To simplify our approach, we'll seek acceptance and control of adversities that seem to dictate your life. Whatever stressors weigh on you, we'll troubleshoot what hasn't been working and process new tools to put in place. It is my responsibility to adapt to your preferences and ways of learning. I'll provide a space for you that can range from open discussion and exploration, to structured activities and weekly goals. Additionally, these steps are flexible and can be done in a matter of time that fits what you hope to achieve. All possible with individual, couples, and/or family therapy. Life is complex, causing us to feel overwhelmed, uncertain, and disoriented. Let therapy be your compass. I'm trained in individual psychotherapy as well as couples & family dynamics. Thus, we'll think systemically about your presenting concerns as needed, helping to reduce individual burdens that come with depression, anxiety, and other presenting problems. Having grown up in the helping field and being exposed to a variety of challenges, it is my pleasure to lend insight and support throughout your own adversities. I have helped a wide variety of clientele, including end of life care, couples on the verge of divorce, and addiction, to name a few. I look forward to the potential of working with you.

I am a driven and creative individual. I am a psychotherapist and a professional cellist. Having two careers side by side gives me a unique perspective and ability to connect with people in the therapy setting. I am a problem solver and I enjoy doing so in a collaborative manner. I try to foster a space where constant learning and growth is happening. I especially love being a safe person and providing a safe environment for people to practice new skills with. I believe that if I'm going to teach something new to someone that it's best if I am practiced at it as well. I enjoy trying things together and am not afraid to think on my feet and be spontaneous in sessions. To me therapy should be like taking vitamins; a regular part of your health routine. Even therapists go to therapy (at least they should!).

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 New York. 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 Cigna?

Yes! If you use Cigna you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Cigna 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 a specific issue?

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.

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 happens during the first therapy 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.
