I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I graduated from State University of New York at Purchase College in 2011 with my Bachelor's Degree in Dance and minor in Psychology and received my Master's Degree from Lesley University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Dance/Movement Therapy in 2018. I have an extensive professional background which includes working with children ages 12-18 years old, diagnosed with depression, ODD, and various kinds of abuse as victims and perpetrators, as a supplemental therapist in a locked residential treatment center and group homes with children, and adolescents in the foster care system. I have also worked with adult women going through transitions and difficult times who are looking for some extra support in daily life activities. I am a strength-based therapist; my therapeutic approach includes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I work with my clients on individual, familial, and social levels in order to facilitate both personal change and creating lasting support networks. I consider myself to be a down-to-earth therapist with a heart for working with youth and adults. I have a diverse background in working with populations such as adolescents and adults who need help navigating healing and difficult situations. Throughout the years I have narrowed my passions to working with teens, adolescents, and young adults (ages 14-23 years old) with anxiety, depression, and who may be going through major life transitions such as going into high school, getting jobs, preparing for college, etc. I also find value in working with adults to help navigate these difficult times with their relationships with their children, spouse, or family members changing in order to help repair, support, and maintain loving and nurturing relationships. If your needs do not seem to fit with what is mentioned above, get in touch with me and we can figure out how to get you the support you deserve. You found this page for a reason, you don't have to go through this alone. I look forward to working with you.
