I’m glad you’re here. I’m a warm, down-to-earth, and non-judgmental therapist who truly wants to know you—not just what’s going wrong, but who you are as a whole person. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, grief, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. Clients often tell me I’m easy to talk to, compassionate, and genuinely invested in their growth. If you’ve been looking for a space where you can feel understood and supported, you’re in the right place.
I specialize in mood disorders, dual diagnosis, and personality disorders, and I bring deep personal motivation to this work — mental illness has touched my own family, and that experience shapes how I show up for every client. I know how prevalent it is, and I believe with my whole heart that there is no shame in struggling or in seeking help. My greatest strengths are patience and a genuine drive to help people transform how they feel and rediscover that life can be better. Outside of sessions, I enjoy thrifting, exploring new foods, and spending time outdoors with my family.
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.
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.
Life can be challenging, and at times it may feel difficult to navigate the stress, uncertainty, and emotional pain that come with it. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to explore life's challenges from a new perspective.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Schenectady
Finding the right therapist in Schenectady starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, or a life transition, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Schenectady-area providers include licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they feel like a good match.
Practical details matter, too. Think about whether you prefer in-person sessions in Schenectady or virtual visits from home, what days and times work with your schedule, and whether a provider's specialty aligns with your goals. Many providers offer a free phone consultation, which gives you a chance to ask questions and get a sense of their style before committing to a full session.
Therapy in Schenectady can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can verify your insurance and see estimated session costs before you book. Many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
