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.
I arrive to each session with authenticity and curiosity—psychological growth is a deep passion of mine that is integrated into all areas of my life. I integrate elements from various therapy frameworks, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to tailor treatment to each individual's needs. My work spans diverse communities, including the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities and individuals from various economic backgrounds.
In my practice, I utilize a strengths-based approach. I foster a therapeutic environment enriched with humor and empathy, nurturing trust and collaboration with my clients. I specialize in working within the whole human lifecycle, from age six to end of life. In working with individuals and families, we will focus on addressing the "stuck points" in your life that interfere with your connection with others; these can include big "T" and little "t" traumas, parenting, life adjustments, mood disorders, anxiety/panic, and relational stressors.
Embarking on a journey of self-improvement can feel daunting and overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. With over 8 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals overcome trauma and life's challenges by providing a safe, non-judgmental space for exploration and growth. My therapy approach is Strength-Based, focused on building resilience and empowering you to face difficulties head-on.
I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in working with individuals, couples, and families facing a wide range of challenges, from depression and anxiety to trauma and relationship issues.
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 am naturally a good listener and find it incredibly rewarding to help others navigate life's challenges. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, ensuring that clients feel heard and supported as they work toward meaningful change. Together, we will explore patterns, develop coping strategies, and build on strengths to create a more balanced and fulfilling life.
My passion for mental health stems from a deep desire to provide others with the support they need during difficult times. So many individuals face life’s challenges without the necessary skills or resources, and I am committed to helping them find hope and healing. My clients inspire me every day, and witnessing their progress, no matter how small, fuels my dedication to this work.
I am endlessly inspired by the individuals I get to work with, and I believe in the power of resiliency to create lasting change. My approach is strengths-based, focusing on each person’s unique journey and helping them harness their inner strengths to overcome life’s challenges. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard and supported as we work together toward healing and growth.
I’m inspired by the opportunity to support clients in navigating necessary life changes to heal and grow into the best versions of themselves. My work is driven by a passion for adaptability in mental health care, and I’m dedicated to creating a space where clients feel empowered to take steps toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. Providing remote mental health services allows me to meet clients where they are and extend support to those who might otherwise face barriers to care.
I am passionate about helping families and children find hope and healing through therapy. My focus on Marriage & Family Therapy and Play Therapy stems from a belief that small, achievable, and consistent interventions can create profound change. I strive to provide a supportive and nurturing environment where individuals and families can work together to build stronger connections and improve their lives.

Life is complicated enough. Finding help shouldn't be.
