I believe therapy is a joint effort where clients are viewed as the experts of their lives, and success stems from shared commitment and courage. I begin with a thorough assessment to understand each patient's background, needs, and goals, encourage open dialogue including between sessions, and ensure clients are actively involved in the treatment planning process. My individualized plans are inclusive, goal-driven, and informed by training in evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

As an Army Brat, combat veteran, and retired military spouse, I bring a global perspective and deep understanding of diverse life experiences.

I have over twenty years of experience working with individuals, families, and groups addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma. I started my career as a clinician in a Crime Victims' Assistance Program funded by New York State, through which I began to explore the effects of trauma on individuals, their families, and the community. I have been trained in both EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and SE (Somatic Experiencing), and I utilize these body-focused therapies to help my clients be released from years of painful energies locked in their systems. I have also taught parenting classes, Mental Health First Aid, and provide training on Trauma-Informed Care. In April of 2022, I became a trainer for LivingWorks' SafeTALK program.

I received my Bachelor's Degree from Marist College and my Master's from Fordham University. I hold the LCSW-R credential and have been trained to supervise Social Work Students in their field placements. Before joining Talkiatry, I worked as a Director of Clinical Services for a not-for-profit in the Hudson Valley Region of New York State. Prior to that, I worked for a local hospital in the psychiatric department providing treatment to the Inpatient and Outpatient units, and I have held several positions as a clinician and program director. I also appeared in the Vassar College student-developed training video, "He said, She said," which is used to train peer sexual assault counselors.

My passion is providing education on how childhood trauma impacts daily life, coping skills to maintain sobriety, confronting the past, and living a healthy life. My goal is to ensure clients feel heard, safe, and secure with their right to confidentiality.

My counseling approach is eclectic, utilizing various modalities including, but not limited to, Gestalt, Reality, Narrative, and Solution Focused therapy. I am devoted to empowering individuals to free themselves from the excessive burdens of life imposed by a remorseless society. I encourage you to become genuinely free and absolutely understand that you are the master of your own destiny. I use these modalities in a holistic approach, assessing clients within their culture, environment, community, and family system to gain a better insight into your distinctive reality. This holistic approach allows us to work together and tailor therapy to your needs, allowing our collaboration to address the root causes of your current state of wellbeing. My platform of therapy will fortify your weaknesses, enhance your strengths, and alleviate your fears where your voice is amplified and capable of surviving the vile discernment of others.

My treatment specialties and experience include working with adults, seniors, and adolescents from diverse populations and cultures, whose suffering included, but is not limited to, anger, depression, career dilemmas, anxiety, stress, marital problems, collegiate status, self-esteem, and family issues, as well as other unforeseen predicaments life unveils.

During the first session, I start with brief introductions and explore the challenges the client is facing.

I tailor my approach using techniques from multiple therapeutic models to best support each client's unique journey.

I have over a decade's worth of experience working within the mental health field and fifteen years working directly with children and adolescents in various capacities.

My primary goal is to truly listen to your experience and help you work through it, creating a plan of action together. It is your therapy, and your active involvement is crucial. I have been specializing in grief work since 2012, and many of my clients are living with the loss of loved ones or experiencing other types of non-death loss, such as divorce, job loss, and other significant life changes. When dealing with grief, you may still be in pain and need to talk about it long after others want you to stop talking. This is when therapy can be helpful. Your grief journey is at your pace. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, along with other approaches that help you address loss and trauma in unique ways to begin to write your healing story. I have also worked with domestic violence survivors and child abuse survivors.

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 27 years. I graduated from Our Lady of the Lake University in 1993.

I have experience working with people experiencing Anxiety, Depression, Mood disorders, and other mental health diagnoses interfering with daily living.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and rooted in evidence-based care. I bring humor, clarity, and a no-nonsense style to counseling, believing that treatment should make sense and feel useful. You won't get psychobabble or a 47-slide PowerPoint presentation, just honest conversations, thoughtful listening, and tools that work. My clinical toolbox includes CBT, Parent Management Training, Exposure & Response Prevention, and other proven approaches tailored to each person's needs.

Counseling with me starts with a thorough assessment to understand what's been getting in your way. From there, we'll work together to set goals that reflect your values and priorities. Counseling typically moves through three phases: 1) building a strong therapeutic relationship, 2) doing the deep work of change, and 3) maintaining progress and preparing for graduation, because counseling should be a launchpad, not a lifelong subscription.

I have been in the mental health field for over 30 years.

I use the three C's (catching, checking, and changing) approach with a foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy intertwined with Mindfulness. I also prefer the person-centered focus, as I work specifically with the individual and the struggles they may be facing. Treatment is tailored for the individual, as there is great effort put into choosing the treatment modality that fits the individual's personal struggles.

I collaborate with clients to reframe challenges and focus not on what is "wrong," but on building skills and achieving meaningful goals that enhance daily life and overall well-being. I begin by helping clients identify their goals and desired outcomes, then work together with them to create a clear path toward achieving those objectives. I honor each person's perspective as the true expert of their own life, ensuring that therapy is guided by their unique experiences, values, and needs.
