This is my first career; it has always been my dream to help people. I never envisioned doing anything else in life. I’ve worked in a myriad of settings, ranging from satellite clinics based on early educational settings to social adult daycares (and everything else in between, including hospitals and intensive day treatment). I have completed training to be able to work in these settings, including courses on TF-CBT, motivational interviewing, and mental health first aid.

Therapist

I came to therapy from teaching, and that background shapes how I show up: I'm used to adapting to who's in front of me, reading what's unsaid, and finding an approach that actually fits the person — not just the presenting concern.

I work with adolescents and adults on trauma, PTSD, anxiety, OCD, panic, maternal mental health, grief, and family stress. EMDR is a core part of my practice — particularly for clients whose past experiences still affect how they feel and function today, even when they'd rather they didn't.

I keep a small, intentional caseload. If you'd like to see if we're a good fit, I offer a free phone consultation before we commit to anything.

I've been practicing clinical social work for 46 years — and teaching it for much of that time. That depth of experience shapes everything about how I work: I'm confident, direct, and genuinely excited by the process of helping people change.

My specialty is short-term, goal-oriented therapy. I believe that focused, intentional work — done well — can produce lasting results without requiring a years-long commitment. Sessions are active. There's homework. We practice things in the room and then use real life to reinforce them.

I work with children (age 6+), adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, grief, maternal mental health, and relationship stress. If you're ready to do real work and see real movement, I'd be glad to hear from you.

I am a clinical social worker with specialties working with pregnant and parenting folks as well as young children and their families, with a special interest in trauma-informed, neurodiverse-affirming practice.

I understand welcoming a new baby to the family comes with a host of challenges and changes: from hormonal shifts and changes in our brains and bodies to changes in employment, lifestyle, relationships, and reflecting on our own experiences of being parented. I am highly experienced in working with pregnant, birthing, postpartum, and parenting folks with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders—or just struggling with the changes in demands, identity, and daily structure

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Syracuse, NY

Finding postpartum therapists in Syracuse starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, or postpartum support. A perinatal mental health certification, often listed as PMH-C, can also signal specialized training in care during pregnancy and after birth.

In a smaller city like Syracuse, the number of local in-person options may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual appointments can expand your search while making it easier to fit care around infant care, physical recovery, and changing schedules. Beyond specialty, review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that match your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you understand how each therapist describes their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum concerns.

Therapy in Syracuse can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who match your needs, lets you check insurance coverage for your specific plan and location, and offers upfront cost estimates before you book. You can compare profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
