When I started my social work career in 2005, I dedicated my skills to provide support/relief to "those people" meaning people who experienced trauma, addiction, or other taboo topics that society didn't want to acknowledge with dignity. I have a full tool box to draw from and am ready to share these tools with anyone who is willing to learn and practice these techniques. Relief doesn't mean you won't have struggles, however the struggles will not cause your whole world to shut down.

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and struggling to find a sense of peace? You’re not alone—and I’m here to help. Anxiety can affect every part of your life, making it challenging to reach your personal and professional goals. Whether you're dealing with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic attacks, social anxiety, phobias like agoraphobia, emetophobia, or specific fears such as flying, heights, or crowded spaces, or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety can show up in many forms—but it doesn’t have to control your life.

Dealing with trauma, depression, and anxiety can be incredibly challenging. The consequences of trauma often include struggling with long-term depression & anxiety. Moreover, one can just feel overwhelmed from everyday societal pressures like interpersonal issues, financial stress and the climate crisis. Everyone deserves a safe space to explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment and I am here to help you do that.

Why is it so gosh darn difficult to "figure out" sex sometimes? I get it. It can be uncomfortable to talk about sex and the internet is full of non-specific, misinformed advice. That's where I can help. My practice is focused on individuals and couples who are trying to navigate specific challenges regarding sex and sexuality, as well as subsequent relationship concerns. This includes sexual dysfunction, anxiety and shame around sex, intimacy after life transition or trauma, sex and intimacy in dating, fear about sharing kinks and fetishes, and so much more. I am proud to provide LGBTQIA+, kink, and non-monogamy affirming services.

I am a Jungian-oriented psychoanalyst in Western NY. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy can help get to the root of your problems instead of creating temporary fixes. We will use dreams, archetypes and synchronicities in your life to help create your own unique path toward healing. If you have made your life decisions based on what others want for you, that may have lead you astray from your own innate purpose in the world. When we become awakened to this insight, change becomes possible and your symptoms begin to subside.

You are whole, you are not broken, and you do not need to be fixed. The challenges you've endured and the symptoms you experience are real, but they do not define who you are. As humans, we possess remarkable resilience and the ability to heal ourselves, if we choose to do so. Through my work with trauma survivors, I've found that many of their symptoms, habits, and reactions are simply adaptations - ways their nervous systems learned to cope with unsafe, chaotic, and unpredictable environments.

Do you feel overwhelming pain? Do you have grief that is hard to express? Have you noticed yourself reacting to situations instead of responding to them? Are you navigating challenging relationships? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, I’m here to help. With my support, you can learn how to process pain, express grief, find meaning and joy, understand how your past affects your present, and nourish your relationships with healthy boundaries. After working with me, you'll see the hard and painful parts of your life as chapters rather than the defining theme of your story.

Currently accepting new clients in person and online!.
As a queer and nonbinary individual, I am passionate about working with and advocating for the queer and neurodiverse communities. I strive to provide my clients a safe, sensory-friendly, and creative space to work through life’s challenges with a provider with whom they know has shared experiences and extensive experience in providing affirming care. I also have advanced training in systemic oppression and multicultural therapy, and provide gender-affirming services, like letters of recommendation for HRT and gender affirming surgeries.

Research has consistently shown that the best predictor of positive outcomes in psychotherapy is the relationship between client and therapist. My philosophy is that psychotherapy should be a collaborative process between client and therapist that is guided by the client's self-defined goals. My style is direct, yet compassionate, and my ultimate goal is to help clients build self-awareness and self-understanding.

“Am I capable of overcoming this?” is a question those struggling with anxiety or grief may ask. You feel exhausted from carrying the weight of the world and cannot pull yourself out of the gravitational pull of habits, coping skills, or relationships that add more weight. If struggling with anxiety, this may be a familiar dance you wish to stop, or if dealing with grief related to the loss of a loved one, this may be a new dance you wish never started. Whichever is you, no wonder it seems impossible to overcome these obstacles continually thrown your way, yet there is a possibility – and I am here to support you in that discovery.

Psychotherapy is at its best when a client and therapist work as a collaborative team. Together with my clients, I work to create an environment that facilitates an understanding not only of their struggles, but also of their strengths as they move toward their goals. My approach is both direct and open, and compassionate and flexible. I have an appreciation of the whole person in the context of their relationships, and bring these ideas to my work. Each client is unique and I strive to provide a therapy experience that is designed for the unique qualities and situation that each person brings.

When things are difficult, it can isolate us, drain our emotional reserves, and limit our ability to look at things in new ways. I work to help clients appreciate the depth of their experience, and support them toward personal strength and healthier relationships. My style is open, collaborative, direct, and supportive. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years in private practice. I also served as adjunct faculty at the University of Rochester's Counseling Center for many years.
