About
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Upstate NY and work with clients statewide through telehealth. I enjoy working with both individuals and couples. My approach My approach varies on the specific needs of each client, but I feel that I am a guide who is learning alongside you. I will always be coming from a systems perspective, meaning I am thinking about outside influences (family, romantic partners, friends, job, etc.) and how they interplay/impact you. I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy, an evidenced-based therapy for the trauma that has been shown to help clients recover from post-traumatic stress with certified training in grief-informed care. My focus I've worked in many settings, including an inpatient psychiatric hospital, couple and family therapy center, and a community mental health clinic. I enjoy working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and I believe the diversity of individuals I've encountered helps me relate well to new clients. My communication style I enjoy bringing humor into my work and encouraging all my clients to be their authentic selves. My style is open and honest, giving space for clients to share things that they have never shared with anyone. This often leads to unexpected moments of vulnerability, including shedding tears. My journey to therapy I became a therapist because I enjoy working with people and helping them get to a better place. I was always someone that others could lean on, and I think that I bring a unique perspective into the room. My goals for you My approach to goal setting is to figure out what changes you would like to make and to think about what would be different if you had a magic wand. My first session with you Our first session together is a chance for us to get to know each other. It's a back-and-forth between listening and asking clarifying questions.
