Great to meet you!

Trauma, anxiety, depression, & life transitions therapist serving Irondequoit, Greece, Rochester & beyond - in person & via telehealth across NY. You didn't think it would feel like this. Maybe you're exhausted from anxiety that won't quiet down, still carrying the weight of something that happened, or just feeling stuck; going through the motions but not really living. You've been strong for so long. You deserve a space to finally put that down. I work with adults, teens, children, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I have also spent a decade supporting individuals with autism and intellectual & developmental disabilities — an underserved area I'm passionate about.

My approach to therapy

UB- trained LCSW, 3+ years clinical experience, trauma-focused certification. I work with adults, teens, children, and families. The main issues I assist with are trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, family therapy, individual therapy, coping skills, and intellectual/ developmental disabilities/ autism. I offer In-person in Brighton NY or telehealth anywhere in NY. I have weekday and evening availability, free 15-minute consults, and a sliding scale available. You don't have to keep feeling this way. Let's figure out what's next, together.

What you can expect from me

My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. I use CBT, TF-CBT, DBT, and strengths-based strategies — matching tools to what you need, not following a script. You're not a diagnosis. You're a person.
