Making sure you have a personalized, meaningful experience in therapy is very important to me. Let's find your voice and let's help you into a better spot so you can feel good about life. I have been in practice since 2003 working across many different settings. Through our initial discussions we will explore what may be underlying your current concerns and customize therapy so that your experience is meaningful. If you've ever felt like your previous therapists "just sat there and nodded", you won't have that experience here. I ask lots of questions and will keep you engaged throughout our time together.
My path into mental health has been shaped by a genuine commitment to helping others navigate life's challenges. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I have experience working with diverse populations across various settings, supporting individuals through periods of emotional distress, major life transitions, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, trauma, interpersonal challenges, etc.
With over 8 years of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complexities of anxiety, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. My background spans a variety of clinical and educational settings, which has given me a deep understanding of how social and behavioral patterns impact our daily lives. I believe that while life’s challenges are inevitable, staying "stuck" doesn't have to be. I'm here to help you tap into your innate resilience and build the practical tools needed to reclaim your sense of balance and emotional well-being.
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.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for therapists in New Hartford starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Some therapists focus on anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship challenges, while others specialize in trauma, life transitions, stress, or family concerns. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and training match your needs. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller market like New Hartford, local office options may be more limited than in nearby Utica or other parts of Oneida County. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in New York. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in New Hartford can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
