Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. Because today is the first day of building the life you imagined.

Are there aspects of your life that you are unhappy with? Are you feeling anxious, struggling to follow your dreams or having difficulties in your relationships with your partner, children, friends or colleagues? Are you dealing with chronic pain? If so, therapy can be helpful to you! Therapy is a space to discuss your struggles with a neutral person who is not a part of your family or your friend. In therapy, we will work together to understand your struggles. We will focus on building new skills to help you navigate difficult emotions or situations. We will also explore how past issues may be impacting you in the present.

I have extensive experience working with college students, including 10 years as the Director of Counseling at a local college in the Hudson Valley. Whether it’s navigating relationships, exploring your identity, or managing the stressors of college life, I can help.

The clients I work best with are young adults who are navigating complex relationship and intimacy challenges, struggling with self-esteem, or experiencing anxiety and depression. Often, these individuals are seeking a safe space to better understand themselves, heal from past hurts, and build stronger, healthier connections with others. My ideal clients are looking for guidance in managing overwhelming emotions, improving their mental health, and gaining the tools they need to navigate relationships and life transitions. Many have faced feelings of isolation, low self-worth, or uncertainty in their personal lives and are ready to explore solutions that can help them grow and thrive. If you’ve been feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected in your relationships or struggle to find confidence within yourself, we may be a good fit. I aim to create a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where you can express yourself openly, explore your experiences, and work towards meaningful change.

Men need help too. Are you struggling with big transitions in your life? Having difficulty calming intense emotions or just struggling to navigate the day to day? Life can be filled with challenges and disappointments that impact our state of mind, (our brain?), and our capacity to manage everyday tasks. If this is you, I would love to help you learn ways to understand and cope with these big and challenging moments. Therapy is a healing process and together we can process emotions, create small, realistic changes, and help you become more confident in everyday life. My aim is to create a comfortable and accepting environment, and a space for you to feel supported. Throughout this process we will also explore how our brain and mind are impacted by significant events in our lives. This approach will allow us to redefine not only how you view yourself but even the world around you! With the incorporation of mindfulness, meditation, and a person-centered approach we can take this journey together. Please feel free to contact me to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation or to answer any questions. You are never alone on this journey. I look forward to hearing from you.

Although I am a licensed therapist with 30+ years mental health experience, my counseling practice is designed for people looking for a different approach, rather than traditional therapy. I offer life mentoring, which is a mix of counseling, coaching, psychotherapy, spirituality, and the expressive arts. I specialize in helping people with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I help clients process their past, learn how to live more fully in the present, and carve a path toward a dynamic, enjoyable future. Life mentoring is a wisdom tradition that leads to life transformation. My practice is very casual and easy-going, nothing clinical. I teach the practices outlined in my book: “The Living Stress Free Bible: 20 Techniques to Make Your Life Less Stressful.” I send summaries of each session to each client, with my insights and suggested resources/homework. Schedule a session with me in our peaceful office space located in Rochester’s Upper East End, or on Zoom. I would love to help you on your personal journey toward happiness and inner peace. Pricing is based on duration of the session. Insurance is not accepted.

My Approach Transitions in our lives can bring up a lot of different emotions. Some of these emotions can be conflicting if the transition “should” be happy. My work focuses on individuals and couples as they navigate through these transitions. There are ways to process it, work through it and allow you to show up authentically for yourself and your relationships. Your emotions are valid and your reactions are safety mechanisms learned through your survival of your experiences. My goal is to help you navigate through these changes, learn about yourself and build a meaningful life.
