Picture
I've had the desire to be a therapist since I was a teenager.  After finishing school, I ventured off to Massachusetts where I had the opportunity to work with families in their home.  I met some amazing people and experienced a different way of life.  However, I missed Rochester and decided to return home.  I have since had many more wonderful and challenging experiences and have grown both interpersonally and professionally.  
Over the years I have had the privilege of working with people who have put their trust and confidences in me, as well as in the therapeutic process.  I have witnessed clients' interpersonal growth and change as they worked towards achieving their personal goals.  
My specialities include:
  • individuals experiencing internal struggles, life challenges, relationship stress
  • children/teens with behavioral issues at home and school
  • children/teens/adults experiencing overwhelming feelings of anxiety; stress; sadness; anger
  • families who are experiencing overwhelming stress and conflict
My therapeutic approach:
  • provide a trusting, non judgmental, & safe environment
  • open and honest dialogue
  • provide strategies and/or activities to practice at home
  • work together to develop goals and/or behavior plans
