I believe understanding who we are and why we do things is a fundamental part of self-growth and exploration. My goal is to work together to help you gain self-awareness and balance by using evidence-based practice in therapy. I take into account your unique personality traits and culture to help tailor my approach to working with you. My style is client centered and collaborative in nature. I draw from cognitive-behavioral, existential, and mindfulness-based approaches in therapy. Using this integrative approach helps me to form a strong therapeutic bond with you. Book with me now by clicking on my website!
I utilize a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/Patient-Centered approach. This means I listen to you to help you challenge irrational beliefs so you can develop the tools to become your own healer. I understand that change is a process that does not magically occur overnight. My role is to act as your guide through this process and support you through it.
I have been practicing counseling since 2001, have a Bachelor's degree in Human Development, a Masters degree in Mental Health and am a certified CASAC (substance abuse counselor) in NY. I specialize in bereavement, trauma, anxiety/depression and addiction counseling. I also work with couples to resolve conflict.

As a therapist who has struggled with grief, loss, trauma and bereavement I understand, first hand, the process of healing. And, as a person who has worked through the process of recovering from addiction, I know that there is not only hope, but strength to be found in learning and growing.

I often use an evidenced based therapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with a person-centered approach, and then we can decide together the most appropriate way to move forward. We can explore the reasons that brought you to therapy and develop some treatment goals together.
