I chose to become a therapist because I am amazed at the healing process through human connection. As complex beings, I am left in awe at the strength and resilience each individual possesses. I believe that despite difficulties faced, we have the power to rewrite our own story and live to fullest most authentic selves.
Our work together will not only aid you in overcoming any difficulties you may be facing but help understand patterns to develop tools that can be used in everyday life.
I aim to provide a healing space through compassion, support and acceptance. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory, however, I often utilize tools from different modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and inner child healing.
I hope to have the opportunity to hear from you and help you achieve your greater self.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Ithaca
Searching for therapists in Ithaca starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want to address. People often look for therapy in Ithaca for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look at the specialties and approaches listed in their profiles, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling. A therapist’s bio can help you understand who they support, how they structure sessions, and what working together may be like.
Ithaca is a smaller city, so local in-person appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options across New York while still connecting you with a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, focus areas, and session format in one place.
Therapy in Ithaca can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, 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.
