About

I am a Rogerian Person Centered Counselor who is client centered. I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) by using positive approaches. The primary use of CBT is problem-oriented, with a prime focus on the present. This helps to focus on the here and now problems and difficulties. Instead of focusing on the causes of anxiety or symptoms in the past. Combing CBT with Self Determination Therapy (SDT) and Mindfulness activities I use a holistic approach to help improve the quality of life of the people I serve.

My background
I have earned a Bachelor’s Degree from SUNY Geneseo, and then my Masters in Counseling and Certificate of Advanced Studies in School Counseling from SUNY Oswego. I have a Certificate of Advanced Study in Counseling Services through SUNY Oswego, and a Mental Health Counseling Certificate from the University of Rochester. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and also holds a NYS School Counselor Professional Certificate and I am a member of the Counseling Academic and Professional Honor Society Chi Sigma Iota.
