I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience
working in the field of mental health. I am also a Registered Nurse. I have a passion for
assisting people who seek relief from any type of trauma or PTSD, and desire to help those
with any chronic emotional or physical pain, anxiety, depression, difficulties at work or with relationship
stress. I obtained my Master’s degree in Counseling/Community Psychology from Marist College.
My counseling approach is holistic and genuine. In using the Human Givens framework, I will
assist you in identifying resources and coping skills to better meet your physical and emotional
needs. I will provide a non-judgmental relationship of trust and confidentiality serving others of any
culture, religious belief, sexual orientation or life transition. In therapy, I will listen to your
concerns through the use of motivational interviewing and therapy approaches that will meet your unique needs.
I am committed to providing options, support, and a plan of care toward your emotional well-being. Sessions may include receiving new coping skills, suggestions on identifying and changing unhealthy patterns and encouragement in understanding your emotional needs and how to use innate resources to meet your physical and emotional needs in balance. I will also assist you in resolving past trauma and the impact it has had on your life.
