I became a mental health provider because I’ve seen firsthand how inadequate treatment can affect those struggling with mental health challenges. Witnessing this motivated me to pursue a career where I could ensure patients receive compassionate, effective care. My patients inspire me every day, and my goal is always to provide treatment that helps them feel happier and more in control of their lives.

Having witnessed the impact of mental health conditions within my own family, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals grappling with Anxiety and Depression.

With over 20 years of experience as a therapist, I will provide you with a non-judgmental, supportive space where you feel witnessed, heard and safe in sharing your unique story. Whether you are navigating life transitions, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression or struggles with motivation and self-esteem, I am here to walk alongside you. I am committed to helping you find healing, empowerment, growth and strength.

I became a mental health clinician because of my deep passion for understanding people and helping them navigate life's complexities with compassion and care. Witnessing the resilience of individuals inspires me daily, and I am honored to provide a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to explore and embrace their authentic selves. My goal is to help individuals overcome challenges and build a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Having grown up with a therapist for a mother, I’ve always been inspired by the role that mental health plays in shaping our lives. This upbringing instilled in me a deep respect for the profession and a desire to create a safe space where individuals and couples can find healing and growth. Each day, I feel honored to witness the courage my clients show as they take steps toward improving their well-being, and it’s this bravery that keeps me passionate about my work.

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

When focus slips, energy fades, or your mood becomes hard to manage, even the simplest tasks can feel like uphill battles. Maybe you’re trying your best to keep it together, but persistent anxiety, depression, or ADHD keeps pulling you off course. It’s easy to start questioning your capacity—and to wonder if things will ever feel steady again. You’re not broken or failing. These struggles are real, and you don’t have to navigate them alone.

Grief, trauma, and anxiety can make the world feel unsteady—like you’re constantly trying to find your footing while carrying an invisible weight. You might feel isolated in your pain, unsure how to move forward, or overwhelmed by emotions that don’t seem to make sense. These experiences can feel disorienting, but they don’t have to define you. I specialize in supporting individuals through the emotional impact of trauma, loss, and anxiety, helping them reconnect with their strength and sense of clarity.

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.

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.
