I have found that the most efficient avenue to life progress can be the connection between the psychotherapist and the client. Such connection promotes an evolving internal connection with one's most true passions,and offers the company of another in facing fears. I would help you to deal with conflicts that block your motivation and passion and help you open to new ways of engaging with your inner resources, and with the significant people in your life. In order to this I address any blocks & resistances that interfere with deep and authentic feeling contact.

I'm a SUNY Plattsburgh grad and have had the honor and privilege of serving traditional and non traditional college students for several years. I'm passionate about people, their healing and I believe that no experience is wasted. I take an existential approach to therapy and I work with clients to assist in meaning making, acceptance, resilience and mental fortitude skill development. This style is used to assist clients in all seasons of life. For those who may desire it, I offer a Biblical approach to therapy, where the written scriptures are applied to renew the mind and transform day to day life.

Welcome. I imagine you may be looking for a healing space where you can be met with a kind of presence that allows you to feel, while also holding what emerges—where you can reflect without judgment or intrusion, and where your experience is received with care and depth of attention, making it possible to think, to feel, and to be fully taken in. Perhaps you are used to being the one who understands, who holds things together, who thinks deeply about yourself and others—yet deep down may feel lost, anxious, or disconnected.

I have particular expertise in those who have experienced divorce, survivors of trauma, and family members who have lost loved ones to suicide.
I work from a psychodynamic perspective, I believe one's previous relationships have an influence on one's present problems. By talking about the past and present, clients are better able to develop relationships and make changes in their lives. I take a cognitive-behavioral approach when there are specific problems to be addressed briefly.
