For 18 years I have worked alongside adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and the transitions that turn life upside down.

I’m a therapist with over ten years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, and the everyday stressors and transitions that can feel overwhelming.
I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities and integrate tools that best fit each person’s needs. Whether you’re dealing with persistent worry, low mood, major life changes, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore, grow, and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.
I have always been interested in what makes each of us who we are and how we relate to others. Throughout my training to become a clinical psychologist, I trained in many different settings including university counseling centers, hospitals, community mental health centers and private practices. I ultimately chose to open my own practice so that I could have the freedom to meet each client's specific needs. I am so grateful for the ability to walk alongside each of my clients as they navigate the challenges and joys of life.
Hi there! I use therapy to help adults reconnect themselves to their own innate drive to heal
I have a wide range of experience that encompasses counseling to running a counseling program. I've completed advance training in numerous counseling theories and am a CBT trainer at a behavioral health clinic. This experience allows me to adapt evidence based interventions to fit your personality and treatment goals. But that is not why you will get better in therapy; that is due to your own innate drive to heal.

Sometimes words don’t fully capture our experiences or do them justice. My journey into this work began with the discovery that art, music, movement, and other forms of creative expression can communicate the parts of ourselves that language alone cannot reach. These expressions are deeply human and can become powerful pathways to insight, healing, and connection.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Canandaigua, NY
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.
