About My Clients

I offer flexible scheduling with sessions available on nights and weekends. Sessions can be held virtually on in person at your home or in the community if you are local. I specialize in working with clients ages 11 and up, couples, and families. I have worked with clients with complex trauma, developmental disabilities, Autism, personality disorders, chronic health issues, mood symptoms, behavioral difficulties, and grief/loss. I am LGBTQ, kink, and ethical non-monogamy friendly.

My Background and Approach

I offer a variety of services tailored to your needs. I use art, movement, mindfulness, advocacy, hands on skill building, and traditional talk therapy strategies to help you heal and become the best version of yourself. My practice focuses on bringing balance and connection to the self, to the family, and to the community. I have been in the human services field for over a decade. I have worked in schools, at community mental health centers, for non-profits and for the State of New York. I have worked as a therapist, researcher, peer support partner, home health aide, direct care staff, care manager, and crisis worker.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that treatment should be tailored to the individual's needs, not insurance company's or agency's needs. We can work together to tailor treatment to you.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
