Accepting clients Last Updated 30+ days ago

Currently accepting new clients in my virtual-only practice!

I'm a psychologist licensed in the state of New York. I really like helping people figure out who they are and how their life can be better. I've been in the field for a while, and worked in college counseling for many years, which instilled a love of working with college-aged people. In my private practice, I work with older teenagers (16+) and adults of all ages. I also have a lot of experience working with the queer community.

My approach is warm and conversational. My work with clients is empowering while also challenging unhelpful patterns that get in the way of thriving. I'm highly trained in having awareness and respect for many diverse aspects of clients' lives. My theoretical orientation focuses on how different roles in life and diversity factors impact mental health. Some strategies I often use are from CBT, DBT and ACT therapies. 

I live in upstate New York with my family, including a great partner and three active kids. I also have a cat that will likely join us for some sessions. When I'm not working, I like making art, being a handywoman and reading anything in the romance genre.
