I believe that therapy begins with feeling truly seen and understood. I am a Licensed Psychoanalyst in New York State with a background in clinical psychology, counseling, and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University and completed my psychoanalytic training at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis in New York City.

Over the past several years, I have provided therapy to adults, couples, families, and young adults. I have experience supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, identity concerns, and deeper emotional patterns that may feel difficult to understand on their own.

My approach is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable bringing their full selves into the room, while working together to develop greater insight, self-understanding, and meaningful change.

When anxiety, grief, or big life changes start to feel overwhelming, it can be hard to know where to turn. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what you’re going through, and identify small, doable steps toward relief. I work especially with adults and seniors facing depression, panic, trauma, chronic conditions, relationship stress, or end-of-life concerns, and I provide a calm, affirming space where all of your feelings are welcome.

I have always been interested in what makes each of us who we are and how we relate to others. Throughout my training to become a clinical psychologist, I trained in many different settings including university counseling centers, hospitals, community mental health centers and private practices. I ultimately chose to open my own practice so that I could have the freedom to meet each client's specific needs. I am so grateful for the ability to walk alongside each of my clients as they navigate the challenges and joys of life.

Hi there! I use therapy to help adults reconnect themselves to their own innate drive to heal

I have a wide range of experience that encompasses counseling to running a counseling program. I've completed advance training in numerous counseling theories and am a CBT trainer at a behavioral health clinic. This experience allows me to adapt evidence based interventions to fit your personality and treatment goals. But that is not why you will get better in therapy; that is due to your own innate drive to heal.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Utica, NY

Searching for therapists in Utica starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to work on. People often look for counseling in Utica, NY for concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, marriage counselors, counselors, and psychologists in Utica, NY, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling.

In a smaller city like Utica, local appointment options may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New York. You may also want to compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, focus areas, and what a first session may be like.

Mental health care in Utica can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between in-person and virtual sessions. You can browse therapists, review bios, 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.
