Great to meet you!

I am a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 9 years of experience in providing counseling services.

I completed my Undergrad at SUNY Brockport with a Bachelor of Science: Social Work, and obtained my Masters at Nazareth College in the field of Social Work - Interdisciplinary Health.

I began my career as a substance abuse counselor and after 3 years the company I worked for allowed an integrated license, which allowed me to assist with mental health needs.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is client-centered, focusing on creating a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and challenges.

I utilize a blend of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness. My goal is to empower you to develop coping skills, gain insight into your thoughts & emotions, and make positive changes.

What you can expect from me

Emotional support, self-insight and awareness, practical coping skills, empowerment and confidence, personal growth.
