Great to meet you!

I believe everyone deserves a space where they can feel supported, understood, and hopeful about what comes next. My goal is to provide a warm, welcoming space where you feel heard and accepted. I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) with 18 years of experience. I approach each person with compassion and without judgment. Together, we will build on your strengths, work through what may be holding you back, and develop healthier ways to help you move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and hope.

My approach to therapy

I use a person-centered approach when meeting with clients. My areas of specialty are substance use, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship and behavioral issues. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), and Solution-Focused Therapy. I also incorporate mindfulness and relaxation exercises to promote emotional regulation and build resilience.

What you can expect from me

I provide an empathetic, warm, creative, and non-judgmental approach to therapy. I am committed to helping clients heal and regain a sense of control and well-being in their lives. I offer skills to change thoughts/behaviors that aren't aiding in your progress within your healing journey.
