I have been in the field of social work for over 20 years and have experience in mental health, working with youth, adults, and families in various settings. I have a passion for helping others and am here to create a safe space as I support you through your journey. This journey is about you. Therefore, you will set the goals you want to achieve, and I can empower you with the tools to conquer them. In my free time, you will find me focusing on my own self-care while hiking, biking, running, or golfing.

If you find yourself here, take the next step for yourself and allow me to help you achieve the peace and growth you deserve to move past a difficult time. Whether you’re navigating loss, anxiety, stress, or other challenges, I am here to provide support tailored to your unique needs. I utilize a variety of evidence-based tools and methods, working collaboratively with you to identify and build on your strengths as you overcome obstacles. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, ensuring that you feel heard, valued, and respected throughout your journey. I am deeply committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental, and validating space where you can explore your emotions and experiences freely. My passion for mental health advocacy drives me to stay informed on the latest research and therapeutic practices, ensuring I can offer the highest quality care.

Pursuing therapy is a powerful step toward achieving personal growth and insight, allowing you to address any social and emotional issues you struggle with. As your therapist, I want to accompany you on your journey and collaborate to find the root cause of any obstacles you face while also empowering you to become the healthiest version of yourself. I believe it is my role as your therapist to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore personal stressors. Operating from a Gestalt perspective, I do this by fostering self-awareness, authenticity, and accountability. Everyone is unique, so I tailor each session to your thoughts, experiences, and mental health goals. Reach out today to schedule a personal consultation to see if I am a good fit to help you achieve mental wellness.

You are the author of your own life. Sometimes, the story gets confusing. I'm here to partner with you in better understanding yourself, where you are, and where you want to be. For me, the therapeutic relationship is foundational for success, and ours will be built on safety, trust, and compassion. I take an integrative and client-centered approach to counseling, tailoring my methods to suit your unique needs and preferences. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions openly. While proficient in several modalities, I specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma. I help my clients build resilience through self-compassion, develop coping skills, and ultimately foster healthier relationships with themselves and those around them. I hold a Master's of Science in Education (MSEd) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Bonaventure University and have worked with clients from all walks of life, ages, and diverse reasons for seeking counseling.

If you’re seeking change—whether it's breaking old patterns, managing overwhelming emotions, or creating a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling—you’re in the right place. I work with individuals motivated to grow and ready to move forward, even if they’re unsure where to start. My practice is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients understand and shift the patterns of thinking and behavior that may be keeping them stuck. In addition to CBT, I use an integrative approach that draws from various evidence-based practices tailored to each person’s unique needs. This allows us to address challenges not just cognitively, but also emotionally and holistically—supporting healing and growth on multiple levels. I meet each client where they are, offering a supportive and nonjudgmental space to explore what’s holding them back and what’s possible. Together, we’ll clarify your goals, develop tools for coping and healing, and uncover the direction and sense of purpose you’ve been searching for. My goal is to help you maximize your potential, gain insight, and move toward the wellness and wholeness you deserve.
