Override Hero Title

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience providing counseling to individuals, couples, and families in New York State. I have a unique background in the medical field, home education, nutrition, and addictions through my work in hospitals, nursing homes, hospice, home-based care, education, addiction treatment programs, medical offices, and private practice. I am a dedicated professional and proud alumna of the University at Albany.

I have a deep commitment to seeing people flourish in relationship to themselves, and to others. For many of us, we have some sense of what makes relationships great and what makes them terrible. Knowing and experiencing what makes great relationships stronger, and what turns terrible relationships around, is where I can work alongside you. As someone who has been stepped in Attachment science, I love allowing for people to make more coherent sense of their internal world, to build or restore bonds with others.

I have been practicing therapy for the past ten plus years, but let's be honest, I was born a therapist. I have had the opportunity to learn that we all grow together and are blessed to take this mysterious journey in our own unique way. I have lived and learned experience, as well as extensive education and training. I began my adult career as a police officer and then returned to college as an adult learner. I graduated from Keuka College with my BSW and Syracuse University with my MSW and an advanced certification in trauma. I have worked with all ages and population but primarily with addiction, trauma processing, and self-esteem issues.

At the end of the day, I am here to listen, guide, and help you learn the value of your own experiences. I specialize in trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety and mood disorders but I am also familiar with self-harm, self-image, and self-esteem issues. My goal is to help you recognize your worth, set goals, learn coping skills and strategize positive daily living. If you are ready to make moves for a better tomorrow, I am ready to help. I am trained in CBT, mindfulness, DBT, motivational interviewing, with advanced specialties in trauma informed care. Let's change the narrative on tomorrow. I look forward to connecting and working with you!

I have a love for collaborating with clients and learning their stories. I truly enjoy learning about all people and how they perceive the world, and I feel fortunate to help support the growth of each individual every time a therapeutic relationship is established. While I focus much of my practice through a CBT framework, I include elements of DBT and mindfulness as well.

Mental Health Counselor experienced at helping clients steer through feelings of anxiety, depression, hopelessness, low self-esteem, social skills, and other life-limiting issues. My knowledge and training may help you acquire the strength and skills necessary to overcome emotional and behavioral issues, and help set you on the path to a happier, healthier life. Together we will create a therapeutic alliance in our safe, judgement- free environment, and work towards problem-solving and goal-setting, for personal growth and development. I also speak Russian.

I am an LCSW with 30 years experience in a health care setting. I'm looking forward to helping you achieve your goals through therapy to be the best version of yourself.

I have been a social worker practicing psychotherapy for 25 years. I have enjoyed working with a variety of people with many different experiences, both in clinic settings and in private practice. For the past 10 years I have been the director of an outpatient substance abuse treatment clinic. I enjoy helping people work through past trauma and find a way forward. I believe that therapy can benefit anyone who is curious about themselves and wants to improve their lives.

I am dedicated to my work with adolescents, adults, & families. My gift is in seeing the big picture. Having obtained my Clinical License (LCSW) & now in private practice, I am accepting clients ages 12 and above. My experience has primarily focused on supporting those with a history of trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief.

I am passionate about helping individuals on journeys of self-discovery who seek a better quality of life. Working with couples and families is a strength of mine, as I support clients in uncovering their strengths to thrive within relationships. Family Therapy provides a safe, supportive space for people to share their stories and feel truly heard.

With 20+ years of experience in Social Work, including time in London, I bring a global view to my practice. A New Jersey native, I studied acting at NYU and later earned my Juris Doctor. Returning to my true passion, I completed my MSW at California State university at Long Beach, which was life-changing. My 19 years as a pediatric trauma social worker taught me the value of calm in crisis.

Hi there, I am a Mom of an 8 year old who received my Masters in Social Work in 1999 and became certified in Health & Life Coaching. I have worked in hospitals for 20+ yrs as well as working privately.

I'm easy to talk to and like to kindly challenge my clients to step out of their comfort zone.

I enjoy working with all kinds of people so if you are able- bodied, disabled, dealing with loss, struggling with a chronic condition, new to therapy or comfortable with therapy - I believe in my clients!
