Great to meet you!

I have over 23 years of experience working in healthcare, community organizations, and in mental health. I hold a MSW from the University of Albany School of Social Welfare. I specialize in supporting older adults, caregivers, and individuals navigating major life transitions. My work focuses on grief and loss, drawing from mindfulness, strengths-based modalities, and EMDR.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. I meet clients where they are, creating a safe and supportive space to explore their experiences, build on their strengths, and move toward healing and growth at their own pace.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to be supported and cared for as I invite them to share their story, needs, and specific goals. I create a warm, safe, and supportive environment to build trust, respect, and understanding.
