I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, with a MA in Counseling from Medaille College. I work with adults and youth to provide positive support and encourage growth and healing. I work with individuals to identify and build coping skills to effectively work with troubling concerns such as anxiety, depression, problems adjusting to life as well identifying underlying issues.
My approach is to encourage clients to self-identify goals, focusing on strengths, and solutions to build resilience and grow. I believe in unconditional positive regard and personal accountability. Each person has their own experiences, strengths, and goals. The approach to therapy for each individual will be based on the goals set and what they seek from therapy. My job as a therapist is to walk beside and be a guide on your journey.
Clients can take away a sense of focus, direction, and support. Sessions are guided by the goals identified by the client and are flexible based on the needs of the client. Clients be supported and encouraged to build coping skills and positive supports, as well as be encouraged to challenge distorted thoughts and beliefs therapeutically.
