When you can't always control circumstances, you can learn to regain control of the way you respond to them. Being kind to your mind is to begin to accept and manage emotions. You deserve a safe space to flourish and prioritize your well-being. I can provide that for you!
My scope of practice includes holding Diagnostic Privilege for NYS; this privilege includes providing diagnosis, psychotherapy, assessment- based treatment planning, consultation, and evaluation.
I have spent a large part of my life caring and advocating for my brother with Autism. With a wide variety of creative experience with individuals of all ages and abilities, I am confident we can create a beautiful therapeutic experience!

I work with clients who want to feel understood and are motivated and open to treatment. Therapy is a process of unraveling what may be months, or even years of trauma in order to stop looking at the past and bring those issues to the present so you can move forward with your personal goals. It's not about forgetting, it's about balance. My clients often feel relief within the first few weeks.
