I want clients to know that I’m warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative in my approach. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all style of therapy, so I try to meet each person where they are and adjust based on what they need in the moment.

I use both talk therapy and art therapy, and you don’t need any experience with art for it to be helpful. Sometimes words are enough, and other times it can be easier to express things through creative work, either way is okay.

My style is supportive but also practical. I like helping clients understand what they’re feeling, build coping skills they can actually use day-to-day, and gently work through patterns that feel stuck or overwhelming.

Most importantly, I aim to create a space where you don’t feel judged, rushed, or pressured, just supported at your own pace.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes real change comes from feeling both supported and gently challenged. I'm warm and direct — I'll meet you where you are, but I won't let you stay stuck. I'm also passionate about working with first responders and law enforcement, and I bring a genuine understanding of the culture and pressures that come with those roles. Outside the office, you'll find me hiking or camping — I try to practice what I preach when it comes to finding balance.

Hi! I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I received my PsyD from Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I've been practicing for almost 30 years and I always have, and still do, love this work. I feel I can be most helpful with the following mental health challenges: healing from childhood trauma(s), LGBTQIA+ issues, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, sexual assault, identity issues, and grief.

As a therapist, with over 7 years of experience in social work, the rapport I build with my clients instills a comfortability and confidence that my approach and systems work. I meet clients where they are and allow them to reach their own resolve, with guidance. I help clients transition less from extreme perspectives towards more positive mindsets when internalizing experiences. At Behavioral Health Counseling our therapists provide evidenced-based, goal-oriented treatment to individuals, couples, families, and groups. Treatment and Behavior Plans are individualized to meet each patient’s need.
