I have been helping people finding solutions to complex problems for more than 20 years. I have a wealth of experience with individuals across the life span and the many challenges we face at various stages of life.

I’m a therapist with over ten years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, and the everyday stressors and transitions that can feel overwhelming.

I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities and integrate tools that best fit each person’s needs. Whether you’re dealing with persistent worry, low mood, major life changes, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore, grow, and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience. I focus on helping clients understand their thoughts, emotions, and patterns so they can develop healthier ways of coping. Together we will work on building practical skills to manage anxiety, improve communication, strengthen relationships, and increase confidence in everyday life.

I am a double board-certified family and psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner. As a Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I believe that healing begins with understanding. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can share your story without judgment and work toward meaningful, lasting change. I provide individualized, evidence-based care for adults facing depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorders, ADHD/ADD, and sleep disorders.

I believe that each person is the expert of their own life. At times, however, navigating challenges, life transitions, relationships, or emotional struggles can feel overwhelming, and having a supportive, objective person to talk to can make a meaningful difference.

My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, I am committed to helping you build insight, resilience, and confidence while working toward your personal goals.

I earned my License in Clinical Social Work from Nazareth College and my MBA from University of Rochester. My background is in therapy, coaching, applied behavior analysis and working with organizations, teams and leaders to foster workplace cultures built on trust, engagement and well-being.

There was a time when I felt trapped by anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. I spent years feeling like I was constantly reacting to the world around me—easily overwhelmed, shutting down, and unsure how to move forward. I was living in a hypervigiliant state - always on edge, feeling unsafe in relationships and in my aloneness. This was also followed with depressive states followed by shame and guilt. Working with a Practitioner in Somatic Experiencing has transformed my emotional well being by helping my brain and body recognize safety and reducing my sensitivity to unpleasant sensations and arousal. I now feel more in control, I welcome unpleasant bodily sensations when they show up, and feel more safe in my body.

I’m a trauma-informed therapist, leader, and advocate with over a decade of experience supporting children, families, and adults navigating life after hard things.

My work is rooted in helping people heal from trauma, manage anxiety and stress, and rebuild a sense of identity and stability during major life transitions. I specialize in working with individuals who carry a lot caregivers, professionals, survivors of interpersonal trauma, and people from historically marginalized communities who are often used to being strong for everyone else. I also specialize in addressing and healing generational trauma for black communities.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to be heard and seen. I believe that mental health is often overlooked and a lower priority when it comes to health and I believe it is important to challenge that belief and bring attention to what is affecting us mentally and emotionally. Throughout my experience I have worked with a range of clients, from children to older adults, working with clients struggling with depression and anxiety to OCD and Bipolar Disorder. Everyone should have the opportunity to get the help they need and I hope that working together we will be able to identify and work towards building a life that is best for you!
