As a counselor, my goal is to deeply understand my clients and collaborate with them to foster awareness, confidence, and resilience.

Depression, anxiety, and relationship issues can profoundly impact your life, fostering feelings of isolation and confusion.

I believe that therapy should be a journey of healing and self-discovery.

My passion for mental health comes from a deep desire to support individuals in their most vulnerable moments. Witnessing the transformative power of treatment—how it provides hope, insight, and relief—motivated me to dedicate my career to this field. Every day, I am inspired by the strength of my clients as they work toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.

Depression, anxiety, or struggles with substance use can affect how you see yourself and how you move through daily life. You may feel caught in patterns that are difficult to change, worn down by what you have been carrying, or unsure how to begin feeling more in control. I believe emotional well-being is an important part of healing, especially when you have experienced pain, loss, or other difficult circumstances. Therapy can help you better understand what is behind your struggles, develop healthier ways of coping, and work toward changes that feel meaningful in your life.

As a Board-Certified psychiatrist, I have experience treating diverse populations of patients in from various backgrounds. 

I became a therapist because I am passionate about helping people gain independence and take control of their lives. My goal is to create a supportive and non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their challenges and move toward meaningful change. I approach therapy with warmth and collaboration, aiming to guide clients through difficult emotions and experiences.

I'm here to fill that gap in a world where self-love is rarely taught or understood. Self-love is the key to healing, and I'm dedicated to helping you rediscover it, whether you've never experienced it or lost it. I believe healing doesn't always require discussing trauma; instead, I aim to empower you to heal at your own pace. Those who commit to their healing journey tend to see success sooner, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. 

I offer a diverse range of therapeutic approaches, with a distinctive focus on practicing Trauma-Informed Care.

I've dedicated my career to providing therapeutic interventions across the lifespan. My journey began with a Master's degree from Syracuse University, followed by a decade in community mental health in Northern NY.

My mission is to guide individuals through the complexities of trauma, depression, and anxiety, fostering awareness, creativity, and multicultural appreciation in a safe environment.

I take a supportive approach in my practice, emphasizing respect and collaboration.
