See What My Clients Are Saying
Not every therapist is the right fit for every person - and THAT'S OKAY! I've asked my current clients to share their experiences, so you can envision what therapy with me may look like. I was humbled beyond belief as I was reading them for the first time, and it's my pleasure to share them with you.
ABOUT ME...
I bring over fifteen years of clinical experience to private practice in order to assist clients in living their best lives.
I worked in the non-profit sector at an agency where I oversaw the outpatient mental health clinic. While I enjoyed the work, unfortunately far too many times I saw administration and insurance dictate quality of care. My frustration continued to grow, when I finally made the decision to enter private practice full time in 2022.
Private practice couldn't have come at a better time in my life. The intrinsic value of helping people drives me to continue to grow. I have opened an in-home office in my hometown of Scotia, NY, and encourage people to try in-person therapy!
Of the roles I have in life, my most coveted is mother. I have a 6 year old son who is my mini-me, and who has taught me more about myself than I thought I needed to learn! He challenges me, he fills me with pride and joy... he's the light of my life, and I love him so.
Life also was so kind to me, and provided me the opportunity to have 3 step sons. My youngest step son I have raised since he was five. We say he's not my "step son" - he's the son I didn't meet until after he was born. The first kid to teach me about unconditional love for your child.... I am better because of him.
I value relationships, and I value people. I value all of the interesting dynamics that we as humans create between each other. I value understanding those dynamics, and making them as healthy as possible. But most of all, I value self reflection, self-improvement, and self-responsbility. I believe that we can always improve the person we are. And in improving as a person, we continuously improve our mental health. My goal - live my best life. I want to help you live yours too.
