Welcome! I approach my work with clients from a relational, evidence-based perspective; while I want to use research-based interventions to help you in your therapy journey, I also recognize the importance of the therapeutic relationship itself. The space I try to build with clients is warm, supportive, humorous, and actively engaging. I see clients for both short and long term therapeutic interventions depending on need.

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

Hello I have been a practicing therapist for 20 years. I received my Masters degree from Buffalo University in 2005. I continue to receive and seek education to further my skill set.
My passion is to help others achieve wellness. I am a board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience. I currently work both inpatient and outpatient facilities within New York City. I specialize in the diagnoses and treatment of adults with a range of mental health issues.
I offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, individual psychotherapy and medication management for adults. My goal is to explore each of my patient's situations and issues judiciously before arriving at appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan.
My patients often say that I am approachable, personable, and respond quickly to emails/phone calls. I am accepting new patients.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Syracuse
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Syracuse starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. You may want help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, gender identity, or experiences related to coming out — or something that has nothing to do with your identity at all. An affirming provider creates a space where your identity is respected and understood, so you can focus on whatever brought you to therapy.
When evaluating providers, look for licensed professionals — such as an LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, or psychologist — who have specific experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach, background, and whether they've completed affirming care training. A free phone consultation is another way to gauge fit before booking a full session.
Therapy in Syracuse can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options are available when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to 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 an affirming provider who fits your needs and your budget.
