In my role as a Dialectical Behavior Therapist, I support you in identifying and processing thoughts, feelings, sensations, and then learning to respond effectively - all while keeping your goals in mind.

As a seasoned psychotherapist for over 18 years, and as a director of several mental health agencies, my goal is to provide a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship to meet the unique needs of each client. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate, space for my clients. Supporting and assisting my clients on their journey to lead a more productive and positive lifestyle.

I am committed to helping clients achieve a richer sense of self and to develop more fulfilling relationships through a supportive and nurturing environment. Ultimately, providing a path to independence, resilience and a more meaningful life.

My role is to help my clients gain clarity by utilizing effective coping strategies and building the tools necessary to cope with and navigate life’s challenges.

I offer a wide range of services to help individuals overcome anxiety, addiction, anger management issues, attachment issues, depression, stress management , phobias and unresolved trauma.

I have been practicing therapy for the past ten plus years, but let's be honest, I was born a therapist. I have had the opportunity to learn that we all grow together and are blessed to take this mysterious journey in our own unique way. I have lived and learned experience, as well as extensive education and training. I began my adult career as a police officer and then returned to college as an adult learner. I graduated from Keuka College with my BSW and Syracuse University with my MSW and an advanced certification in trauma. I have worked with all ages and population but primarily with addiction, trauma processing, and self-esteem issues.

At the end of the day, I am here to listen, guide, and help you learn the value of your own experiences. I specialize in trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety and mood disorders but I am also familiar with self-harm, self-image, and self-esteem issues. My goal is to help you recognize your worth, set goals, learn coping skills and strategize positive daily living. If you are ready to make moves for a better tomorrow, I am ready to help. I am trained in CBT, mindfulness, DBT, motivational interviewing, with advanced specialties in trauma informed care. Let's change the narrative on tomorrow. I look forward to connecting and working with you!

I have experience working with adolescents (with their parents) adults and families have experienced significant levels of trauma and are challenged with emotional regulation and managing everyday relationships. I use cognitive behavior therapy and mindfulness techniques as my specialty in sessions.

I take a warm, empathetic, and direct approach to working my clients. I believe that people can be incredibly resilient when they put their minds to it. Together, we can tap into your potential to strengthen your competence and tackle your goals. I will fight for you to rid yourself of unhelpful patterns and narrow the gap to the life you desire.

Hello, and welcome. I’m truly glad you’re here and taking this meaningful step toward healing and growth. Life is a journey—while there are moments we can walk alone, there are also times when we benefit from having someone beside us to provide support, perspective, and encouragement. As your culturally competent therapist, I’m here to walk alongside you and help you move toward a more joyful, fulfilling, and empowered life.

I bring over 15 years of experience working with children, families, and schools to help people understand their emotions, strengthen relationships, and build the tools they need to thrive. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that we all do the best we can with the tools we have—and that with the right support, we can grow and heal.

Healing from trauma is a unique journey, one that you do not have to walk alone. I will be alongside you in this journey and together we will learn new things about ourselves and ways to approach the good, the bad and messiness of life. It is possible to work toward your brave new ending in this journey of healing and I would be honored to be in this work with you. I am experienced in working with trauma, depression, anxiety and many other mental health issues.
