Individuals often decide to begin counseling when problems arise in their life; I believe that counseling can be effective at any point in a person’s life. Counseling is an opportunity to focus on your emotional and mental health while also discovering your authentic self. I bring a wide variety of experiences which have greatly influenced my style and approach, including holding a NYS School Counseling Certification and working as a mental health counselor on a college campus. I often utilize a holistic, client-centered, strengths-based approach and view the process of therapy as a collaboration between client and therapist.

I believe that each of us has the ability to take the necessary steps to bring about positive changes in our lives. As a trained professional Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I will help guide you on that journey. We will work together as I help you learn how to overcome your difficulties by changing your thinking, behavior, and emotional responses. Using CBT, I will focus on teaching you specific techniques and tools that have been shown to be effective in the treatment of many issues, including depression, anxiety, and anger management, just to name a few.

Therapy can feel overwhelming; maybe you've asked- where do I start? That is super common! Therapy is more than talking; it’s a safe, healing space filled with both laughter and tears.

Life can be difficult. There’s no denying this. And, at times, life can seem even more difficult. Have you been feeling sad, stressed, worried, confused, frustrated, angry, or at a bit of a loss?

Or maybe you're feeling a certain way and don't know why.

Mental health is an integral part of our overall wellbeing that too often goes overlooked until we find that it cannot be ignored anymore. Our bodies and minds have special ways to clue us in to the need for change. This can include negative relationship patterns, constant states of low mood, physical complaints, feelings of anxiety and depression, feeling stuck or blocked from pursuing goals or even just a general sense of feeling off. Together we will determine what is standing in the way of you reaching your desired goals or from living out your perception of a full life.

Anxiety, depression, guilt, childhood trauma, unresolved experiences of loss, abandonment, or betrayal, are only a few possible explanations for what may stand in your way of achieving a sense of self-fulfillment, satisfying relationships, and a sense of security. Through psychotherapy, you can gain a better understanding of the underlying issues which compromise your ability to get what you need and optimally use your potential. These issues can be effectively worked through to ease their grip over your emotional well being and enable you to gain better control over your life by making better choices.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health over one quarter of our population suffer from anxiety , and mood disorders. Patients affected by these disorders represent the major portion of my practice. I employ cognitive techniques to help clients acquire the tools to control their emotions. I believe patients are the paramount reason for my practice, and that I should use all my skills and knowledge to help them get the relief they seek.
