Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Rochester, NY Monday-Thursday and Livonia, NY every other Friday and Saturday morning. I specialize working with individuals who struggle with anxiety; depressive symptoms; substance use; impulse control; adjusting to both positive and/or negative changes in their life; and the LGBTQ+ Community.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is starting where the client is at and following their lead in identifying goals and objectives for their treatment. I also believe validating the client's issues/concerns not only helps in developing a positive therapeutic relationship but helps the client manage the change and/or transition effectively.

What you can expect from our first session

I aim to cultivate a trusting and empathetic relationship with my clients, allowing them to feel understood and accepted.

Clients can anticipate gaining insights into their patterns of thinking and behavior, as well as developing coping strategies and skills to navigate life's challenges more effectively.

Ultimately, clients can expect to feel empowered, validated, and equipped with tools to make positive changes in their lives, fostering greater self-awareness, resilience, and overall well-being.
