As a doctoral level licensed clinical psychologist I will support you through your journey of self-discovery, helping you develop coping strategies, improve relationships, and find internal balance. I also offer a wide range of assessments along with comprehensive diagnostic evaluations. I specialize in treating individuals with trauma history and eating disorders.
I believe in the ability of each individual to seek and achieve change in their life. Our life experiences often shape our patterns of thinking, the things we do, and how we see the world. My goal as a therapist is to offer support in moving past your current barriers and facilitating insights that will lead you to sustainable change.
---“Beginnings can be scary, endings can be sad, but it’s the middle that counts. We just need to remember that when we find ourselves at the beginning, just give hope a chance to float up” (Sandra Bullock, Hope Floats)
Does it feel like you’ve been going through life in “survival mode?” Are you asking yourself “what is my purpose in life?” Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed by fear when considering a change in your life? Are you trying to navigate a transition in your life--job, relocation, relationships, chronic illness/disability etc? Let’s face it, life doesn’t always work out the way we plan and can make us feel all kinds of different emotions. It’s ok to not feel ok all the time. We all go through challenging times in our lives. We don’t have to have a mental health disorder to seek a professional. We may need to seek out someone who can provide a guiding hand, and an objective ear to listen, to help you discover your own underlying strengths, and to provide you with answers to your questions and help you along your journey. I can help you learn to listen to your body, quiet your mind, and follow your heart to find peace within your soul.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Canandaigua
Searching for therapists in Canandaigua starts with matching your needs to the right clinical experience. You may want support for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for specialties, approaches, and populations listed in their profiles. Some therapists use cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. Others may note experience with specific communities, ages, or concerns.
In a smaller city like Canandaigua, local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger parts of New York. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New York. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Canandaigua can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from available in-person or virtual appointments. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
