Therapists in Corn Hill, Rochester, NY

It is a privilege to be able to help people work through the challenges we all face. It's a privilege that I don't take lightly. For my clients, I am here to be more than just a listening ear. I want to ask the tough questions and help clients create meaningful, long lasting changes in their lives, to truly unlock their potential. I am seeking adult and adolescent clients who want a thorough and challenging therapy experience. Our relationships, our thinking, our behaviors (and how they all work together) are the focus of my work.

Therapy is an opportunity to share with an unbiased person the sorting through of life-issues that a person is experiencing. Together, the therapist and the client create manageable and realistic solutions, whether in an individual, couple or family setting, honoring confidentiality and building trust.

I am a Doctor of Clinical Social Work with a degree from the University of Pennsylvania; a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree from Syracuse University; a member of the National Association of Social Workers; an EMDR certified trauma treatment specialist; a professional actress, playwright, director, vocalist and member of Actor’s Equity Association and Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists; and a Christian, so I do my best to live a life of integrity, goodness, and service, without judgement. I integrate my skills, knowledge, and experiences to help you reach your full potential!

Having an honest and caring therapist in your life is the best self care, when things are going well and when life gets difficult. As your therapist, I get to know you, your strengths, and ways in which you want to grow and learn to thrive. I am experienced helping people through a crisis, a loss, or simply the need to get unbiased feedback about life changes. And as you work through difficult times, I’m a "back pocket" therapist, only a phone or video call away whenever you need support. You’ve got the inner strength, I’ve got your back...especially when you need to be reminded that you’ll make it through to better times.

I am a psychotherapist with a holistic and spiritual approach to counseling and coaching; I offer teletherapy services for the treatment of anxiety, depression, women's issues, self esteem, life transitions, with an emphasis on the role of spirituality in healing. My style is warm, supportive, and focuses in on your strengths to empower you to live your best life.

Do you feel like everything on the outside is "perfect" but you are struggling on the inside? Does life seem great "on paper" but you aren't happy? Do you feel like all your friends are happy and you're a mess? These feelings are more common than you think and can come from all kinds of sources - family problems, transition/change, and just an overall uncertainty of who you are and what you want -including questions about sexuality and gender. Life doesn't come with a handbook. But the good news is that I don't think we need one!
