“I see success every day with my clients. I see a reduction in stress, the ability to manage emotions and gain insight into various behaviors. In addition to my private practice, I provide therapy and crisis services at The University of Rochester Medical Center and Rochester Rehabilitation Inc. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have worked with many different personalities. I can help you. There is not one type of therapeutic approach that is appropriate for all situations; there are many different types of therapies and styles of therapy that work to help people move closer to their goals. I specialize in Psychodynamic therapy,processing current and past experiences and gaining a deeper understanding as to how this affects your present behaviors and feelings. I use Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral therapy to give you education and deeper understanding about your behaviors and emotions. I have over 20 years of experience in therapy and Social Work. I have extensive training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy with a focus on Mindfulness,distress tolerence, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.

I am working using video therapy and phone therapy. I have over 25 years of successful experience supporting issues related to depression, relationships, anger, and anxiety, and relationships. You can openly express what is important to you. You will have my complete attention, focus and understanding. With a trusting relationship at the core, I use a combination of therapies including Motivational Interview, Internal Family Systems, compassion therapy, Prolonged exposure Therapy, Narrative, Mindful based, Cognitive Behavioral, DBT and EFT. I invite you to connect with me by phone, text or email to inquire, ask questions or simply make an appointment. We will start where you are and go forward.

I provide psychotherapy for a number of common problems that people struggle with. These include depression, loss and grieving, life-transition issues, problems in motivation, and beyond. I work with each client to determine what he or she needs from therapy. I start from the perspective that people seek meaning in life. Meaning can come from many sources, including relationships, work, service, religious faith and practice. Sometimes, however, we lose our way, and need help getting back on track. While many things can get in the way of a meaningful life, including daily worries and setbacks as well as major losses and transitions, we'll work together to help you find your way. Online, or in person? I believe that face-to-face, in person meetings are usually the best way for client and therapist to do their work together. This isn't always possible, however, and in fact more and more therapists and clients are making use of technological developments that allow them to meet online. Research has shown that online therapy can be effective in the treatment of things like depression and anxiety when conducted by a properly trained therapist. Many clients enjoy the flexibility and empowerment that the online experience can provide. For these reasons, I am happy to talk with you about whether online therapy might be appropriate for you. (Please note that certain restrictions apply, and that online therapy might not be available in all geographical regions, in keeping with local legislation.)
