I would describe my treatment approach as holistic, integrative and person centered. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where the therapist is someone to walk with you, side by side, to help explore and determine the best path to take. I feel that therapy should be tailored to the individual's needs and personal circumstances. 

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and received my Masters Degree from the State University of New York at Plattsburgh. Over the past 14 years I have had a variety experiences in the mental health field. I began my career as a Crisis Intervention Counselor and Rape Crisis Counselor at a local Crisis Center while working for AmeriCorps. From there I spent approximately 8 years at Clarkson University as the Assistant Director of Counseling and First Year Seminar Coordinator. Recently, I have spent the past 6 years working with children, adolescents, college students, and adults at our local County Mental Health Clinic.   intervention,  anxiety, stress, end of life care, geriatrics, caregiver fatigue,  grief and loss, and relationship issues.
