Great to meet you!

Before I was a therapist I worked as a Behavior Technician and Care Manager for children, adolescents, adults and their families in the upstate New York region. I have extensive experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities, working with children, adolescents and adults treating anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, and ADHD.

My approach to therapy

I use evidence based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-focused Therapy, and incorporate mindfulness and other strategies to help clients achieve their goals.

What you can expect from me

Recognizing the need for change is not easy and is the first step in the therapeutic process. I have found that therapy is a way for individuals to gain an understanding and better perspective about themselves. This understanding leads to improving communication, making healthier life choices and ultimately living authentically!
