Great to meet you!

As a dedicated and experienced LCSW, I bring 22 years of expertise to mental health, working with individuals and couples facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. I received my undergraduate degree in psychology at Siena College and then continued on to get my master's in social work from SUNY Albany. My approach to therapy combines CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), mindfulness and solution focused therapy to help client's gain insight, develop coping skills and improve their overall well-being.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I specialize in working with people struggling with major life transitions and self-esteem issues. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process, where we work together to identify goals, uncover underlying patterns, and develop practical tools for lasting change. It is my passion to help client's move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

What you can expect from our first session

In our work together, clients can expect a supportive and nonjudgmental space where they feel truly heard and understood. My sessions are collaborative, empowering, and focused on helping client gain deeper self-awareness, develop practical coping strategies, and make meaningful changes in their lives. Whether we are exploring past experiences, working through present challenges, or building tools for the future, my goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident and in control of you mental and emotional well-being.
