Find a therapist in New York — covered by insurance

I'm a licensed mental health counselor with formal training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and a background in crisis stabilization — which means I've worked with adults navigating some of the most intense emotional experiences imaginable, and I know that the hardest moments don't define where someone ends up. My style is direct and warm. I'm not the kind of therapist who nods a lot and says "how does that make you feel?" — I'll actually teach you skills, explain what's happening in your brain and body,

and work with you to figure out what gets in the way of the life you want. I also happen to believe that therapy doesn't have to be heavy all the time. Humor and humanity belong in the room too. I work with adults across New York via telehealth, and I accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon, and Highmark plans.

I know I was born to be a therapist. Helping others has always felt like a natural part of who I am, and my own life experiences have only deepened my desire to walk alongside others through theirs.

For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families. I genuinely love the work I do and value creating a space where people can show up as they are, feel understood, and work toward meaningful change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor committed to helping my clients heal, grow, and cultivate self compassion. I specialize in treating conditions including Anxiety, Depression, OCD, and Trauma. I also have extensive experience working with individuals impacted by grief, loss and life changes.

I have been working with children and adults for 30 yrs. Two years ago I opened my own practicecand I love what I do! I have many yrs working with adolescents in a school setting, however, I have found a passion in the last year working with couples. We are in a tough world. Economy, high divorce rate, social media and more. My goal is to work and keep couples and families together. The first step is reaching out. Depression, anxiety, we are all struggling and I would love to help make your days brighter!!

Therapy can seem daunting, and you may be hesitant to start, but you've already taken the first step! As a therapist, my goal is to help you reach your own goals and to provide guidance and support to get there. I aim to create a safe and inclusive space, where my clients can express themselves and explore their own worlds without judgments. I encourage open communication and humor within our sessions, as I want my clients to feel comfortable and welcomed!

I have a doctorate in Counseling, Counselor Education, and Human Development, as well as a Master's in Community Mental Health Counseling and a Master's in School Counseling from the University of Rochester. I have been counseling for 20 years and incorporate a psychodynamic approach to therapy. I am an ethical therapist and approach therapy with care, expertise, and knowledge while building trusting relationships with clients.

I received my Masters from Antioch University of New England, Bachelors from SUNY Empire State University, and Associates from Cortland Community College. I own a private practice and offer both in person and telehealth sessions in Oswego NY. I teach at SUNY Empire State as well. I have experience working with both behavioral and cognitive mental health and specialize in grief and loss, anxiety, and life changes. I am a mom to 5, have two dogs, and love designing and renovating.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in individual and couples therapy. I have over twenty years of experience working with a wide variety of clinical problems. I am most interested in working with individuals who are curious about themselves and who believe that they may find some relief from their struggles by examining their thoughts and feelings in the context of their relational history.

I’m a licensed therapist with a background in both social work and public health, and I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, and life transitions. My experience spans private practice, nonprofit work, and community-based settings, where I’ve supported individuals from diverse backgrounds. I’m especially passionate about helping clients process difficult experiences and build meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

My approach is rooted in compassion, cultural awareness, and understanding each person’s unique story. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow at your own pace.
