Currently accepting new clients in my virtual-only practice!

I thrive when I'm able to help someone figure out who they are and how their lives can be better. I've been in the field for 20 years, and have a lot of experience. I've been in private practice for four years, and previously worked at colleges and universities. 

I'm a generalist by training, meaning I know something about most psychological and mental health issues that people want therapy for. It also means I'm good at working with a lot of different people including (but definitely not limited to!) college students, other therapists, and the queer community. I've also supervised masters and doctoral-level clinicians. No matter who I'm working with, one of my favorite parts of my job is to see how people grow, even when they think they can't.

My approach is warm and conversational. I'm going to help you build confidence while challenging things that get in the way of thriving. I integrate CBT, DBT, ACT and narrative strategies into conversation that can include gentle directness and challenges to unhelpful patterns. I find humor necessary in life. I also think it's very therapeutic and incorporate it whenever possible. 

I live in upstate New York with my family, including a great partner and three active kids. My cat Eleanor 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.
