I have been practicing therapy for the past ten plus years, but let's be honest, I was born a therapist. I have had the opportunity to learn that we all grow together and are blessed to take this mysterious journey in our own unique way. I have lived and learned experience, as well as extensive education and training. I began my adult career as a police officer and then returned to college as an adult learner. I graduated from Keuka College with my BSW and Syracuse University with my MSW and an advanced certification in trauma. I have worked with all ages and population but primarily with addiction, trauma processing, and self-esteem issues.
At the end of the day, I am here to listen, guide, and help you learn the value of your own experiences. I specialize in trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety and mood disorders but I am also familiar with self-harm, self-image, and self-esteem issues. My goal is to help you recognize your worth, set goals, learn coping skills and strategize positive daily living. If you are ready to make moves for a better tomorrow, I am ready to help. I am trained in CBT, mindfulness, DBT, motivational interviewing, with advanced specialties in trauma informed care. Let's change the narrative on tomorrow. I look forward to connecting and working with you!

Hi! Thanks for viewing my profile, I am an LCSW in NYS and have been in the human services field for nearly 10 years and a licensed provider (LMSW) since 2019 earning my LCSW in 2023.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Syracuse
Searching for therapists in Syracuse starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to address. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look at their listed specialties, therapy style, and experience with concerns like yours. A bio can also show how a therapist describes their approach, whether that includes cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another method.
In a smaller city like Syracuse, local in-person therapy options may vary by neighborhood, office location, and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your options across New York while still keeping care connected to your preferences. Consider practical details like appointment availability, whether a therapist offers evening sessions, and whether they are accepting new patients. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand what sessions may look like and decide who fits your needs, schedule, and communication style.
Therapy in Syracuse can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and make care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you schedule directly when you are ready. You can browse therapists, review bios, and choose someone who matches your needs and accepts your plan.
