About me
I am a licensed in both New York and Vermont with 10 years of professional work experience in clinical social work.
I help individuals with anxiety, depression, ADHD, life-stage transitions and changes, parenting, career / workplace difficulties, stress related to chronic and acute medical illness, and trauma. My practice utilizes various evidence-based therapeutic frameworks and modalities to meet each individual's unique therapeutic needs. I empower individuals to work through their struggles within a supportive, safe, non-judgmental environment. We will identify, explore, and work through your emotions, thoughts, and behavioral patterns, learn coping and relaxation skills, communication skills, mindfulness, and consider ways you might bring your own unique, creative, self into your daily mental wellness practices.
