Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) who enjoys working with people who have made a commitment to their health and personal growth.

I serve youth and adults on issues including, but not limited to: abuse, life transitions, relationship issues, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment issues, and gender identity issues.

I conduct a private practice in Potsdam, NY, with the goal of providing culturally-competent, trauma-informed, empathic and spiritually aware mental health care.

My approach to therapy

My approach is tailored to fit the needs of the client, so clients can feel comfortable and understood, which frees them to focus on solving their problems and improving their well-being.

What you can expect from me

I want you to feel listened to, accepted, free to express yourself, and engaged in your personal healing and growth.
