About My Clients

I am an individual actively doing the work in my personal life and in how I support all communities. I provide respectful, affirming, and culturally-informed care for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC individuals, couples, plus anyone navigating identity, trauma, anxiety, and life transitions across New York State. Who you are isn't just welcomed here, I view it as central to our work together.

My Background and Approach

I employ a variety of professional modalities, along with humor and a touch of sharp wit, when working with clients, centering them as they move forward with their lives. Grief is not a problem to solve, regardless of the type of loss you're experiencing, what others say, or what hustle culture expects from you. My modalities include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Somatic Work · EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) · Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) · Psychodynamic Therapy. I have experience supporting clients with: Adjustment and life transitions · Anxiety and depression · Grief and bereavement · Occupational stress and trauma in veterinary and caregiving professions · Pet loss and companion animal grief · Self-esteem and emotional regulation · Trauma and PTSD.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

For many years, I have been drawn to working with people who carry more than they can say out loud. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a Licensed Veterinary Technician, where I sat with families as they navigated some of their toughest moments. Those experiences, as well as my own, inspired me to become a therapist and have informed and shaped how I understand deep pain.
