My motto is: "Helping People Help Themselves to a Better Life. I support people with a smile and a reassuring description of my skills and abilities. I reinforce my respect for their choices as we engage in therapy together. I work to create a safe space for clients to address their issues.
As the chief psychologist at Cornell and R.I.T. I had the privilege of working with young adults and professionals as they navigated challenging and transformative periods. Since then, I have been working in private practice, helping clients manage challenges related to anxiety, OCD, depression, life transitions, and relationship issues.
I have dedicated my career to helping children and young adults reach their fullest potential. With over 20 years of hands-on experience across clinical, educational, and neuropsychological settings, I provide compassionate, dignified care grounded in deep expertise. My training was shaped by leading scholars in neuropsychology, educational psychology, and behavior analysis. I trained in a neuropsychology lab at Stony Brook University, became a licensed, board-certified behavior analyst, completed doctoral training at Southern Illinois University under Dr. Barbara Cordoni, and later completed postdoctoral re-specialization in clinical neuropsychology under Dr. Elkhonon Goldberg, specializing in pediatric and complex behavioral cases.

A big reason why I became a therapist is reflected in the quote: "Your vocation is where your deep gladness meets the world's deep need" (Frederick Buechner). I find tremendous joy in helping clients move toward healthier and more meaningful lives.

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 Therapist in Webster
Searching for therapists in Webster starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may focus on concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, ADHD, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. A bio can show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another style that fits what you are looking for.
In a smaller city like Webster, local in-person appointments may be more limited, so virtual therapy can expand your options across New York. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule fit, commute time, or access to a therapist with a specific background. Beyond specialty, compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Webster can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, review insurance information, and find virtual or in-person appointments. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, read therapist bios, and book directly when you are ready.
