As a seasoned therapist I have found that the patient/therapist relationship is the cornerstone in building the therapeutic alliance. Life presents us with many challenges and I will help you face and deal with them. Our life’s journey is often marked by unexpected circumstances that are out of our control, childhood traumas, and so much else life has to present us with. I am experienced , compassionate and empathetic and we can explore together what your goals are and how to achieve them. My hope is that you will feel the safety to express and share anything and expect a non-judgmental and supportive response. I will be your therapeutic partner in working towards your goals to help you live a more positive life

I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first session. Building trust is important to me, and I understand that starting therapy can feel like a big step.

I bring over eight years of experience working in diverse settings, including crisis intervention, child welfare, and substance use treatment. This has allowed me to support individuals and families through a wide range of challenges with compassion and flexibility.

My approach is collaborative—I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all method. We will work together to identify your goals and find strategies that feel right for you. I also value cultural sensitivity and take the time to understand your background, identity, and lived experiences as part of the healing process.

I offer services in French and Wolof and welcome clients from all backgrounds. My goal is to support you in building insight, developing practical tools, and creating lasting, meaningful change in your life.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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.
