Hello!

I believe helping people address the symptoms (anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship issues, psychosocial stressors) in a person-centered approach can help to develop the tools and coping skills needed to live a better life.

I start with building rapport to get to know you to figure out what is best and most meaningful for you in addressing inter/intrapersonal conflicts. I help you by identifying what is important and how we can get there together. I offer a safe, inclusive, and evidence-based (motivation interviewing, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic) style; so you can move forward.

I graduated from Syracuse University with my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health in 2010 and have worked in a variety of employers that have provided me with experience working with individuals with different mental health and substance abuse diagnoses. I also have spent a large portion of my career providing treatment in the community and believe that knowing your support and your community is important to well-being.

I come for a person-centered holistic approach meeting each person where they are at in their individual journey. Your choices are your choices and there are no good or bad decisions. Just decisions accepting the results of that decision and moving forward in the best way possible.

I hope that you are able to take away new insights about how to help you reach your goals. Ultimately the time that we spend together is your time and wanting to make the most of it.
