My theoretical orientation is integrative, which means I use a combination of humanistic, solution-focused, person-centered, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness based /contemplative approaches, stress management, and insight oriented techniques-depending on the needs of the client. I understand how critical the relationship between client and therapist is to the success of the therapeutic experience. As such, my hope always is to provide a warm, empathetic, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment-one in which my clients will feel safe and encouraged to build trust and work towards self-empowerment. To that end, I employ a collaborative, strengths-oriented approach. My style is warm, compassionate, interactive, and I provide ongoing feedback. I believe in the power of therapy and in every individual's right to experience happiness, meaning, and fulfillment. Please contact me if you have more specific questions before making an appointment. I look forward to working with you!

Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Fulton, NY

We offer professional strength-based therapy and supportive services to clients and encourage personal growth and healing. Our services are designed to enhance the client's ability to make positive choices for themselves and help empower them to meet their goals. We specialize in providing mental health treatment and team collaboration to those 14+ with eating disorders. In addition, we supervise those becoming certified in the field of eating disorder counseling. Though treating people with eating disorders is our specialty, we are happy to treat other mental health challenges. Soon after we began our careers, we quickly realized the need for professionals that specialize in eating disorder treatment. We gained and maintained our Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and Supervisor (CEDS-S) qualifications through The International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals. We understand that life can be challenging but given the right psychoeducation, support and tools, people have the power to change their lives. If you are considering teletherapy, we encourage you to reach out and we can see if working together can help you meet your goals. We are now accepting new clients age 14+ for telehealth only.

Have you ever experienced a feeling of constant worry or intrusive thoughts that you just can't get out of your head? Perhaps you experience a constant stream of "what ifs" for all of the possibilities that may happen or worry about being in new social situations. These feelings are particularly prevalent for college students, since you are managing a rigorous course load, creating new relationships and figuring out how to be an adult. It can be totally overwhelming, defeating and exhausting, and can get in the way of you living your life and having the college experience you’ve always imagined. I specialize in working with young adults who experience anxiety, social phobias and OCD. Reach out to schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see if we can be good fit!

Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Poughkeepsie, NY

You are not broken — you are human. And being human means facing change, pressure, and uncertainty — things that can feel especially heavy during college. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, questioning who you are or what’s next, or trying to balance school, family, and your own expectations. You don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy can be a space to pause, reflect, and begin again — with support and intention. In our sessions, you’ll find a warm, understanding space where you can show up just as you are — no need to have it all together. My role isn’t to fix you, but to walk beside you. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, reconnect you with your strengths, and find new ways forward that feel true to who you are. Every student’s story is different. That’s why I don’t believe in one “right” way to do therapy. Our work will be shaped by your needs, your culture, and your goals. Whether you’re coping with stress, adjusting to college life, dealing with family or relationship challenges, or trying to rediscover your sense of purpose, we’ll move at your pace. A big part of our work will be exploring three things: WHY – Why are you seeking change? PURPOSE – What gives your life meaning? PRIORITIES – What matters most to you right now? When we understand your why, purpose, and priorities, therapy becomes more than just talking — it becomes growth. Wherever you are in your process, you don’t have to walk it alone. I’m here to meet you where you are and support you as you find your way forward.

Clifton Park, NY

You may look like you have it together on the outside, but actually feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. I help individuals better understand themselves, discover ways to cope and create meaningful, lasting change. I work with adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns like people-pleasing and overthinking. I also support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Many of my clients have trauma histories, caregiving roles, or chronic illness and are seeking deeper insight. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start. Many people come to therapy simply feeling stressed, on edge or misunderstood. Through therapy, you'll gain tools to manage overwhelming feelings, improve relationships and break patterns negatively impacting your life.

Substances have a way of putting us on a merry-go-round that will not stop. Substances help us regulate our mood, push out the uncomfortable, keep us walled off from our surroundings. Something happens in life, and we "want to stop", but do not know how to stop. And, we use again. If you are struggling with substances, unhappy with your life, tired of chasing the next high, ask for help. You can text or call me. Maybe it is time for you to rethink your relationship to substances.

I incorporate warmth, sincerity, and humor into my work, aiming to create a space where clients feel comfortable engaging in critical thinking and introspection. I believe in the importance of integrating past and present experiences to help compassionate, creative people get out of survival mode and into connected, meaningful lives. I enjoy helping clients feel empowered and more satisfied both individually and in relationships. I tailor my approach to your specific needs and unique circumstances.

Emotional pain can make you dread going to sleep, waking up, eating and even interacting with loved ones. It can disconnect you from your joy. If you’ve had a life event that shakes you to the core can feel incredibly isolating. But major losses in life also open doors to big transformations.
