About My Clients

I have a special interest in working with first responders, parents, individuals with anxiety, sleep disorders, chronic pain, and/or chronic illness, and those going through life changes. Additionally, I am a sex-positive, kink-allied professional. Whatever stressors you may be experiencing, I am here to support you through your journey.

My Background and Approach

I have had the opportunity to work, intern, and volunteer in a variety of behavioral health settings to include outpatient, critical incident debrief, residential, and vocational rehabilitation, which have led me to the opportunity to start my own practice. I use an eclectic and person-centered approach to therapy. I have formal training in a variety of therapy modalities that I use at various times throughout the therapeutic relationship, with you as the guiding factor. I believe that each person’s experience is unique, and therapy should be a reflection of that.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have special interests in working with first responders, parents, and those with chronic illnesses, as well as being a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist. I am a member of the Emergency Responder Support System in Livingston County NY where I volunteer to provide critical incident debrief services to our local first responders. I am also passionate about animal assisted therapy, and hope to someday include therapeutic horsemanship in my practice. Beyond my clinical work, I enjoy volunteering as an EMT-B and firefighter, scuba diving, camping, attending concerts, and traveling.
