The therapeutic relationship is an important part of your journey to greater well being, and together we work as a team to face and overcome your challenges, identify and work through the stuck places in your life, and support you in crafting the life you really want for yourself.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Lancaster, NY

Clinical specialist: trauma (childhood sexual abuse and cult abuse) and Cluster B personality disorders (including narcissistic abuse). You look high-functioning on the outside—but your relationships, emotions, or sense of self may tell a different story. Sound familiar? You may be stuck in painful relationship patterns, drawn to emotionally unavailable or narcissistic partners, struggling with identity instability, emotional overwhelm, chronic emptiness, or the lasting effects of trauma. Integrating EMDR, somatic therapy, parts work, and depth psychology approaches, I help patients move beyond insight alone to create meaningful, lasting change. This work is especially well-suited for individuals who are ready to understand themselves more deeply, heal long-standing patterns, and move beyond survival mode—not just manage symptoms.

I view therapy as the process of developing a better understanding of thoughts, emotions and patterns. I utilize a person-centered therapy approach to create a warm, non-judgmental atmosphere where you can feel comfortable and safe. Through the journey of self-discovery, your needs and wants from the therapy process may change. This is why I pull from different evidence-based therapy approaches such as CBT and positive psychology to best fit with your needs at the time. I have experience working with a variety of mental health concerns. However, no two people are the same. Together we will work towards your unique goals utilizing the individual strengths you bring. Deciding to begin therapy can be scary. I will help to illuminate the process and ease your concerns. I am currently accepting new clients. I look forward to hearing from you and starting this journey together.

I provide relational, culturally responsive therapy that centers your lived experiences and honors the ways your relationships, history, and identity shape who you are today. I approach therapy as a collaborative space where we can slow down, reflect, and better understand patterns that may be contributing to distress or disconnection. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic and relational cultural therapy. This means I pay close attention to how past and present relationships influence emotions, behaviors, and self-understanding, and how growth often happens through connection, authenticity, and mutual understanding. I also integrate trauma-informed and strengths-based

College is constantly marketed as "the best years of your life," but honestly? Most days it just feels like a high-pressure cycle of performing, over-thinking, and trying to keep your head above water. Maybe you’ve done everything "right"—you’re passing the classes, you’ve got the internship, and your LinkedIn looks great—but on the inside, you’re dealing with major anxiety, burnout, or just a heavy sense of “is this it?” It’s exhausting to feel like you’re just going through the motions while everyone else seems to have their life together. I’m not here to lecture you or give you a "to-do" list. I provide a real, non-judgmental space where you can finally just breathe and be yourself. Using a mix of IFS and Narrative therapy, we’ll look at the patterns holding you back and help you figure out who you actually want to be—not who your parents, your professors, or your peers expect you to be. You deserve to feel grounded and at peace, even when the future feels like one big question mark. Let’s work together so you can stop just getting by and start leading your own life.
