Healing rarely happens in a straight line, and you don't have to figure it out alone. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York State, and I provide telehealth therapy for adults coping with trauma, anxiety, depression, and other serious mental health conditions. Meeting online means you can do this work from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
My path to this work began in healthcare settings, where I helped patients and families through major transitions. Since then I've worked in outpatient substance use and mental health clinics and in a county mental health clinic, supporting people with a wide range of needs. That experience shapes how I show up for clients: with clinical skill, and with patience for the ups and downs of change.
If you're ready to start, or just curious whether we might be a good fit, I'd welcome the chance to talk.

It is my belief that each of us has the ability to find our best self. With guidance, insight and a desire to move forward we can obtain optimal emotional, spiritual and mental health. My practice encompasses supportive exploration and accomplishment of one's identified goal(s) with compassion, intuition and an eclectic blend of therapy methods. Much of my work is with individuals who are experiencing issues related to depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma and substance abuse. With couples and families the work is focused upon exploring, identifying and addressing issues surrounding poor communication, trust and boundaries.

I have been a social worker practicing psychotherapy for 25 years. I have enjoyed working with a variety of people with many different experiences, both in clinic settings and in private practice. For the past 10 years I have been the director of an outpatient substance abuse treatment clinic. I enjoy helping people work through past trauma and find a way forward. I believe that therapy can benefit anyone who is curious about themselves and wants to improve their lives.

I have been practicing therapy for the past ten plus years, but let's be honest, I was born a therapist. I have had the opportunity to learn that we all grow together and are blessed to take this mysterious journey in our own unique way. I have lived and learned experience, as well as extensive education and training. I began my adult career as a police officer and then returned to college as an adult learner. I graduated from Keuka College with my BSW and Syracuse University with my MSW and an advanced certification in trauma. I have worked with all ages and population but primarily with addiction, trauma processing, and self-esteem issues.
At the end of the day, I am here to listen, guide, and help you learn the value of your own experiences. I specialize in trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety and mood disorders but I am also familiar with self-harm, self-image, and self-esteem issues. My goal is to help you recognize your worth, set goals, learn coping skills and strategize positive daily living. If you are ready to make moves for a better tomorrow, I am ready to help. I am trained in CBT, mindfulness, DBT, motivational interviewing, with advanced specialties in trauma informed care. Let's change the narrative on tomorrow. I look forward to connecting and working with you!

I am a licensed mental health counselor, with a focus on addiction and substance use. In 2018, I graduated from Pace University with my Masters of Science in Mental Health Counseling. Within the last several years, I have worked in a hospital setting, helping treat psychiatric decompensation along with drug or alcohol relapse. Having both the experience of inpatient and outpatient settings, I have gained a thorough understanding for the spectrum which mental health illnesses are demonstrated.
I work with adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges who are tired of feeling stuck in the same patterns. Many are high-functioning on the outside but overwhelmed internally, questioning why change feels so difficult despite their best efforts. They aren't looking for quick fixes—they want to better understand themselves, build healthier relationships, and create lasting change.
