Recognizing that sometimes life's stressors are too much for an individual to deal with on your own can be difficult, however it displays a foundation of strength and determination. I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor, and I strive for my practice to be a safe, nonjudgmental space for all who seek support and are endeavoring to improve on their self compassion. You are the expert in your own experience, however if we work together I hope to provide a stable, secure energy to our sessions.
Almost everyone experiences some level of depression or anxiety during their lifetime. Sometimes these conditions prompt us to get care. They inspire us to work collaboratively with someone so that we can
navigate difficult times. Psychotherapy can help us make decisions, process relationships, endure
emotional pain and make real growth. I specialize in working collaboratively with adults who
experience depression and anxiety or are looking to work through stuck points in their lives.
I am invested in you finding a life worth living. My goal as a therapist is to help clients grow and reach their goals. To allow challenges to help them grow and understand their resilience. My areas of speciality include eating disorders, body image, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My goal is to facilitate clients to live a life that is consistent with each clients’ values, needs and priorities.
I received my B.A. in Psychology at Macaulay Honors College, CUNY, and my M.Ed. and M.A. in Mental Health Counseling at Teachers College, Columbia University.
After graduating, I have been working as a therapist since 2021 with a specialty in the LGBTQ+ community. I have worked with depressive, anxiety (generalized, OCD), ADHD, mood, personality disorders and disordered eating. Experience includes working with issues of self esteem, stress, relationships, parenting, gender, identity, race/ethnicity, immigration, grief, trauma, substances, habits, motivation, focus and attention.
My interests and clinical focuses include self-care, minority body image, Latinx mental health, psychosis in youth, and am passionate about self-acceptance/love. I created and use the motto "Write your own narrative" in my annual bootcamp as a reminder that we each have our own story and control over it.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Elmira
Finding the right therapist in Elmira, NY starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Many providers in the area specialize in common concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and relationship challenges. Consider whether you'd prefer individual, couples, or family sessions — and whether you want to meet in person or connect virtually. Virtual sessions can also expand your options beyond Elmira to include licensed providers across New York State.
Choosing a licensed provider is an important step. Look for credentials like LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, or psychologist (PhD or PsyD), which indicate that a provider has completed supervised clinical training and meets New York State licensing requirements. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach, areas of focus, and whether they may be a good match before you commit to a first session.
Therapy in Elmira can be more affordable than you might expect when you use your insurance benefits. Seeing an in-network provider is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their plan. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
