I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 18 years of experience working with diverse groups of people in community mental health agencies as well as private practice. I specialize in supporting adults who are experiencing grief, pet bereavement, depression, anxiety, and life changes. My approach to therapy is person-centered, and I work collaboratively with clients to assist them in exploring thoughts and feelings and reaching personal goals. I am a holistic practitioner, taking into account mind, body, spirit, and support.
I hold a Master's degree in Counseling and Community Psychology from Russell Sage Graduate School. I tailor treatment to individual needs and use existential therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, feminist theory, psychoanalysis, and mindfulness-based methods.
If you are experiencing grief, depression, anxiety, or stress, I can guide you through your struggles, assist you with lessening your symptoms, and help you manage your stressors. You can learn how to break unhelpful patterns in a non-judgmental, warm, safe, and supportive environment. It is all about increasing your peace of mind, contentment, and quality o
