I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I received my Master's from Syracuse University and my Bachelor's from Houghton University. In undergrad, my focus was on developmental and social psychology with a minor in family studies. My post-graduate experience and training include therapeutic treatment with individuals, parent-child relationships, adolescents, couples, marriage, and whole families. Beyond the therapy room, I have worked with addiction for over 17 years and severe persistent mental illnesses for 3 years. Today I focus on treating mental health issues - whether with couples and marriages, families, or individuals - from a relational lens.

As an adult with ADHD, chances are you deal with emotional overwhelm and chronic self criticism-maybe even more than disorganization and distraction. My focus in treatment typically includes practical strategies, emotion regulation, insight-oriented work, and skill-building tailored to real-life demands. Clients can expect improved focus, steadier emotions, stronger boundaries, and greater confidence in daily life.

As an adult ADHD therapist with over 35 years of experience, I specialize in helping neurodivergent adults tackle the daily challenges that feel overwhelming, such as: Starting tasks when you don’t know where to begin Keeping track of deadlines Following through on projects Handling intense emotions and rejection sensitivity Decision-making Routine building

ADHD isn’t just about getting things done—it also impacts how you see yourself and your place in the world. In our work together, we will address the deeper emotional and identity challenges that come with ADHD. Together, we’ll build personalized systems that actually work for your brain while also creating space for reflection and growth.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Elmira, NY

Searching for therapists in Elmira starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. A therapist can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists whose listed specialties, training, and therapy approaches match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling.

In a smaller city like Elmira, the number of nearby in-person therapists may be more limited than in larger New York markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed to provide care in New York. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, areas of focus, and what a first session may look like.

Therapy in Elmira can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care when available. You can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
