I served as the chief psychologist at universities including Cornell and the Rochester Institute of Technology. During that time, I had the privilege of working with young adults and professionals as they navigated challenging and transformative periods. Since then, I have been working in private practice, helping clients manage challenges related to anxiety, OCD, depression, life transitions, and relationship issues.
In our work together, I will ask thoughtful questions to better understand you, your story, and the experiences that have shaped your life. We will explore different parts of your history, important life moments, and the connections between them. Often, the stress we feel and the obstacles we encounter are closely connected to these experiences, and understanding those relationships can be an important step toward meaningful change.
I tend to bring humor and a bit of lightness into the process when it fits, because meaningful change does not have to happen in a heavy or intimidating way. My goal is to make the work of growth feel understandable and manageable.
What I enjoy most about this work is that therapy is not just about addressing a list of symptoms. Together, we will look at the barriers that may be standing in your way and work to remove them. In doing so, the goal is not only to reduce distress, but also to help you build a life that feels more satisfying and meaningful.
