With over 30 years of clinical experience, I focus on creating a safe and supportive environment where you can make sense of your experiences and overcome any obstacles holding you back. As a client-centered therapist, I prioritize your needs and work collaboratively with you to develop personally tailored goals and strategies that align with your values and aspirations. I draw on a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Status Dynamics, Family Systems Theory, mindfulness practice, and the creative arts to help you achieve lasting change. Whether you're experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or other challenges, I am here to support you every step of the way. Contact me today to take the first step toward living your very best life.

I am the author of two books of poetry: Flying for the Window (Finishing Line Press, 2008) and I Play His Red Guitar (Tiger Bark Press, 2019). I also serve as the board chair for 13thirty Cancer Connect and president elect for the Society for Descriptive Psychology in addition to being one of the founding members of ROC-ACT, a professional growth community that promotes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in the greater Rochester, NY area.
