Hi! I strive to build strong therapeutic rapport with each of my clients in order to help clients feel validated, empowered, as well as gain insight and skills to manage their mental health conditions and express emotions freely. I earned my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY. I have supported clients of all ages experiencing chronic depression and suicidal ideation, anxiety, trauma, developmental and intellectual disabilities, and severe and persistent diagnoses. I also have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in residential treatment.

I use a trauma informed, solution focused, and person centered approach. I believe unconditional positive regard and empathy are the center of the therapeutic relationship. I utilize a variety of approaches, most notably Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), solution focused therapy, and Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT). I have extensive experience supporting clients recovering from significant trauma.

I create a warm and welcoming environment to openly discuss feelings and emotions. We start small by building rapport and trust, and set short and long term goals to drive treatment. I believe you are in the driver seat of your treatment, with me in the passenger seat supporting you every step of the way.
