As a Resident Counselor with Thriveworks, I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complexities of anxiety and emotional well-being. My approach to therapy focuses on helping you understand and work through the root causes of your struggles, not just the symptoms. We start by looking at real-life situations where you feel stuck or distressed, and gently explore the feelings you may be avoiding because they’re uncomfortable or anxiety-provoking. Together, we’ll also notice the habits or “defenses” you use to cope, some of which may actually be making things harder.

I’ll support you in understanding and gradually changing these patterns, so you can face difficult feelings in a safe and manageable way. As you become more comfortable experiencing your emotions, many symptoms—like anxiety or feeling stuck—can begin to ease, and you can develop healthier, more effective ways of relating to yourself and others.

I understand that seeking support can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard and supported. I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you as you explore new pathways toward healing, balance, and a more fulfilling life.

"As someone who has personal experience with challenging life situations and loss, I am able to meld my clinical and experiential knowledge in a way that supports my client's through their own unique challenges. Together, we are able to set a course to the goals they aspire to."

My career began in 2013 working in the outpatient clinic program of the largest agency in NY serving children and families, then expanding to include adults. After receiving my license in Mental Health Counseling, I became supervisor of the clinic while still maintaining a caseload. This experience exposed me to all socio-economic statuses, relationship issues, substance abuse, and the foster care system. Other populations included college-age clients and the challenges associated with that phase of life. Something common among them all was dissatisfaction in one or more domains of life they were seeking assistance in improving.

I take a strengths-based approach, incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to create a therapeutic partnership characterized by creativity, flexibility, and empathy.

I look forward to establishing a warm, motivational partnership to help build on your strengths, work towards your goals, and create your most meaningful life! Schedule your first appointment today.
