​

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, in practice since 2017. I provide individual psychotherapy for adults and family based therapy for pre-teens and adolescents. I integrate evidence-based, best practice interventions from; contemporary psychodynamic, behavioral and systemic family therapy. 

 

My method of treatment for individual adults involves the containment and alleviation of psychological symptoms through joining, verbalization and interpretation. I utilize a collaborative approach to treatment planning, goal setting and skill development to ensure immediate life concerns are addressed. My long term goal is to facilitate a corrective therapeutic experience that leads to durable symptom relief and conscious living. 

​

I treat adolescents (ages 12+) using a family therapy model in which parental involvement is vital. An adolescent's treatment can involve a combination of full family, parent-child, parent only and individual sessions. The treatment is usually short term, lasting 8 - 12 sessions, but can extend beyond that timeframe if it is indicated.

​

I have worked in mental health for 11 years. I started as a clinician at the Russell-Sage College wellness center, before completing my clinical licensure hours at a community mental health clinic in the Mohawk Valley. I then opened my private practice in 2018 under the guidance of a mentor. My office is located inside of Forest Clinical Services, a 2 office suite in Malta, New York.
