Mental Health Counselor in Rochester, NY

About My Clients

If you or your child are someone wondering ⁃ The “why” behind anxiety symptoms ⁃ The “how to do this” behind grief ⁃ The “what do I do” for emotional and behavioral de-escalation ⁃ The “what do I say” when communicating with your teen ⁃ Or need a space to process the day-to-day stresses of life... then I welcome you to an eclectic approach. Together we will use Psychoeducation, CBT, and DBT to assist in your processing and healing.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a bachelor's in psychology and master’s level education in mental health counseling. I have experience helping children, teens, and adults with a multitude of struggles. Previously I have worked in the school system providing therapy services to students, hosting educational seminars for teachers, facilitating group therapy for teens, and involvement with crisis services. With this experience, I can assist you in building a growth mindset and confidence to manage the stressors of life

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Together, we will build your understanding of body-based symptoms through Psychoeducation, reshape unhelpful thought patterns using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and practice mindfulness/coping techniques with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. And yes we will practice this TOGETHER! I strongly believe that working on new skills together builds confidence more effectively than simply recommending them.
