I believe the therapeutic process is about relationship and connection. I love supporting people through the difficulties of life. In doing so, I love to laugh, joke, connect, be real, and down to earth. I have a thought-provoking approach to treatment. My approach allows me to directly connect with clients in a manner that is comfortable and authentic. Through treatment I provide my clients with healthy challenges, and autonomy in guiding their own treatment.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. I am a therapist who will listen to what you need and assist you with achieving your personal goals. During the therapeutic process you will be able to understand more about yourself, as well as what role your environment plays in your life. I work from a trauma informed perspective and will be supportive in exploring how past challenges are currently affecting your life. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) within my therapeutic approach, specifically Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which will allow you to learn more about using mindfulness in your life, and in your personal journey through therapy. I have experience working with adults who have Anxiety, Depression, and Bipolar Disorder with a variety of stressors. I look forward to connecting and being able to support you.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Syracuse

Finding family therapists in Syracuse starts with understanding what your family wants help navigating. Family therapy may support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match the people who may attend sessions.

In a smaller city like Syracuse, the number of local family therapists may be more limited than in larger New York markets. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still giving you access to therapists licensed in New York. Family therapy sessions may include the full family, smaller groups, or individual members, depending on your goals and the therapist’s approach. Before booking, read each therapist’s bio for details on session structure, availability, communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Syracuse can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find family therapists, review availability, and see whether they’re accepting new patients and what insurance information is listed on their profiles. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking, then review bios and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
