As someone who has undergone her own adversities, I can sincerely say that I know how elusive achieving change and growth can be, but I also know that change is possible. Navigating through the difficulties and stressors that life inevitably brings us can be challenging and difficult to do alone, which is why I am a firm believer that healing begins the moment we feel heard. I have worked in mental health clinics, inpatient psychiatric settings and group practice settings, but have found that I excel in private practice where I have the ability to offer one on one, individualized psychotherapy.

Great to meet you!

Welcome! Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and I'm glad you're here. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a PhD in Consciousness Studies from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, and families, helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

Anxiety and depression can make everyday life feel exhausting — and finding the right support shouldn't add to that. I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner practicing via telehealth across New York State, and I genuinely love what I do. My style is collaborative: I'm not here to hand you a prescription and send you on your way. I want to understand your full picture — your history, your goals, what you've tried before — and build a plan that actually fits your life. Care works best when it feels like a partnership, and that's exactly what I aim for. There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to mental health, and I'll never treat it that way. If you're ready to take the next step — or even just curious about what that might look like — I'd love to connect.

Life can be complicated at times, and change can feel overwhelming—leaving you feeling stuck, frustrated, or discouraged. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to support and guide you as we work toward creating a more balanced, fulfilling life. Together, we will explore negative thoughts and behaviors to identify what may be holding you back. I believe the answers are already within you—together, we’ll work to uncover them and develop practical ways to help you move forward with greater clarity, purpose and confidence.

In addition to my clinical practice, I am an author and whole-body wellness advocate. My book, BePurBold: A Woman's Journey to Whole Body Wellness, reflects my belief that lasting mental health is rooted in lifestyle, resilience, and whole-person well-being. My goal is to offer a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard, valued, and active partners in their own care.

I believe seeking therapy requires courage and is a strength in itself. As a licensed mental health counselor, I strive to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported in exploring life's challenges.

As an ER nurse for 15 years in the Psychiatric emergency department and spending the first half of my Nurse practitioner career on an inpatient psychiatric unit before going to outpatient, I have been there with people and helped them through their roughest days. Through medication managed crisis intervention work in these areas, I have learned to support your journey through medication stabilization, a lot of humor about the triggers and stressors life gives us and foundational guidance.
