Find a therapist in Liverpool, NY — covered by insurance

I'm a New York-based licensed mental health counselor who works with people going through some of the heaviest parts of life — grief, loss, trauma, chronic pain, and family relationships that feel stuck. I came to private practice after several years in community mental health, where I worked with a wide range of clients dealing with crisis, life transitions, and long-term emotional pain. That experience shaped how I work: I don't rush, I don't minimize, and I don't expect you to arrive with your thoughts organized. I work via telehealth throughout New York, which means wherever you are in the state, we can make this work.

I am a New York State licensed psychotherapist and board-certified creative arts therapist helping people with anxiety, OCD, depression, and stress at work or home. I am a big believer in the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client. I provide emotional support and a safe environment and aim to work with empathy and warmth to help generate new perspectives, aim at a sense of wholeness, and restore balance and hope. I also encourage my clients to think deeply about their lives and to take actions to create the change they want to see.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy to alleviate symptoms and a psychodynamic approach to explore attachments and relationships. I am also licensed to use non-verbal forms of exploration such as art therapy and have an interest in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I have been practicing for 10 years.

Have you found yourself growing more distant in relationships? Are you struggling to find ways to function in the world? I work with individuals seeking greater clarity, balance, and emotional well-being. I offer a grounded, compassionate approach that values collaboration and thoughtful reflection. I have experience in working with all ages I am committed to creating a therapeutic space that supports growth, understanding, and long-term resilience.

I have over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. This experience includes 12 years as the Commissioner of Mental Health in a county in New York. This work included responsibility for mental health, alcoholism, mental retatardation (as it was called at the time), forensic mental health and family court.

I specialize in short term treatment or CBT(Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with Adults.

I also believe I have the experience to work with women of color navigating the work field. I've written a couple books re this experience.

I'm active in my community as well as living a healthy lifestyle. I also love to travel.

I'm a Clinical Social Worker. My clinical objective includes empowering individuals and families to cultivate their"Inner Harmony Hub". The most important ingredient involves clients exercising self-compassion in a judgement free therapeutic space.

I utilize a multi-theoretical basis for all my clients. For my practice, trust, warmth and communication are the foundations of a good therapeutic relationship. I have a specialty in child/adolescent/family issues. However, I see many young adults who have issues feeling at ease and confident in their relationships and workplace. I endeavor to lift my clients out of the dark place that may be weighing them down to finding the solutions that will enable them to live freely.
