Great to meet you!

A native of County Cork in Ireland, my journey has led me to establish my home here in New York. I'm a licensed mental health counselor and have been practicing for the past 15 years. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I engage in counseling with a perspective to foster healing within oneself in order to develop and reach one's personal potential.

My approach to therapy

Everyone has a unique story and deserves an individualized approach to care. Once we decide to work together, we’ll act as partners in your therapeutic journey. It’s important to me that we communicate openly and you feel respected in our relationship. I’ll be there to listen to you, challenge you, and support you along the way.

What you can expect from me

I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We’ll work together to figure this out! I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you.
