For as long as I can remember, it has been my interest and passion to help others grow, in the way they see themselves and in their relationships with others. As a solution-oriented therapist, it is my goal to motivate and empower my clients to become self-fulfilled and at peace with themselves and others. I am sensitively in tune to the experiences of my clients, whether difficulties surrounding anger management, maintaining and developing relationships, overcoming addictive tendencies, managing emotions, coping with post-traumatic stress, and more. I have provided guidance and support to clients who are from many different backgrounds and walks of life. My ability to understand, relate to, and support my clients encourages the development of a trusting and safe environment conducive to therapy. It is important to me that I impart to my clients direct life-enhancing skills that encourage long-lasting changes in lifestyle and life experiences. I've found the evidence-supported interventions of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy promote clients' overall well-being. My adaptive and kind-hearted approach in concert with these therapeutic techniques positively influences my clients’ thought processes, ability to regulate their emotions, behavioral habits, and ways of relating with others. Furthermore, I provide the services and guidance necessary to ensure that my clients are receiving care that meets their holistic needs. I offer intensive case-management and wrap-around services as needed. My devotion to self-growth as a psychotherapist is evident in my commitment to providing therapeutic interventions that are current in taking into account new research regarding human development, and that are proven through evidence to be effective. Beyond this, I am currently in training to become an EMDR-certified practitioner through the University of Buffalo’s Trauma Certificate Program. My educational foundation includes a Bachelors degree in Human Development from Cornell University and a Masters degree in Social Work from Syracuse University.
