Everyone has a story. Mine starts here in Upstate New York, where I was born and raised. It was here that I became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). My work on the frontlines of mental health care has given me insight into the challenges individuals face and the systemic changes needed to improve outcomes — both of which inform my practice!

​

​Beyond my professional life, I’m also a proud dog mom to my seven-year-old Morkie, Jax. When I'm not working, you might find me with a warm cup of chai, and a book in hand.​ Also, I love learning. I recently completed my second master's degree: my MBA through SUNY Oswego, with a focus in healthcare administration.

​

Most importantly, I thoroughly enjoy the work I do with my clients- supporting others on their unique journeys.

As I mentioned before, everyone has a story.

I look forward to hearing yours.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, I know reaching out for support can be incredibly challenging, especially when you’re exhausted from constantly criticizing yourself, overthinking every decision, or carrying experiences from the past that still affect how you see yourself today.

Prioritizing your own healing can be difficult when so much feels outside of your control. My goal is to create a warm, open-minded, and occasionally humorous space where you feel supported every step of the way.

Wherever your healing journey begins, we’ll move at your pace and figure it out together.

You may be the person everyone turns to, the one who holds it together, cares for others, and keeps moving even when exhausted. But lately, you may be wondering, “What about me?” I work with adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, stress, relationships, and life transitions. I have a special passion for supporting women through perimenopause, menopause, and midlife, including changes in identity, relationships, intimacy, and sexual wellness. Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you, identify patterns that no longer serve you, and make space to reconnect with yourself and embrace what comes next.

As a therapist, with over 7 years of experience in social work, the rapport I build with my clients instills a comfortability and confidence that my approach and systems work. I meet clients where they are and allow them to reach their own resolve, with guidance. I help clients transition less from extreme perspectives towards more positive mindsets when internalizing experiences. At Behavioral Health Counseling our therapists provide evidenced-based, goal-oriented treatment to individuals, couples, families, and groups. Treatment and Behavior Plans are individualized to meet each patient’s need.
