As a clinical psychologist, I specialize in work with depression, difficulties relating to trauma and anxiety, and with gender identity and sexuality. My goal is to help you to feel less suffering and to experience a more fulfilling life. A good experience in therapy involves both psychologist and patient. Together, we'll focus on the impacts of low mood, anxiety, low self esteem, or whatever is getting in the way of your life—and how to help you to overcome these obstacles. I have experience working with adolescents and adults who are struggling with a variety of concerns, as well as with those who are GNC or queer. In my clinical work, I use evidence-based practices for conditions such as major depressive disorder, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In my academic role at Bard College, I study and teach on the impacts of mood disorders, trauma, and depressive thought. (I do not usually see current Bard College students who may take psychology classes.)

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in the Watertown, NY area, though I can see any clients in NYS as I primarily conduct therapy through a secure telehealth platform. I have many years experience working with teens and young adults. My goal is to create a safe and comfortable space for anyone to be able to discuss and explore stressors related to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, school issues, and other life adjustments. I utilize a client-centered and trauma-focused approach to provide psychotherapy, including using skills of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. Starting the therapeutic process can be overwhelming but I commend you in taking your first step forward in this journey. I will strive to create a warm, comfortable, and validating space for each therapy appointment together. If you have any questions, want further information, or would like to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation, please do not hesitate to reach out! I look forward to working with you!

I am trained in EMDR and attend monthly consultation with a certified EMDR consultant. Many people come to me with knowledge or curiosity of stored trauma in the body and its effects. This can look like persistent anxiety, "unexplained" health challenges like autoimmune disease, pelvic pain, abdominal pain and more. Additionally, clients will come to me and say that despite years of talk therapy they still feel stuck and want to explore how EMDR may be helpful for them. EMDR is an 8 phase process that doesn't have a specific timeline; it is catered to your needs and goals and progress is closely monitored throughout.

I provide therapy that’s rooted in cultural humility. I believe trust grows when we honor the full spectrum of your identity—race, gender, work environments, religious affiliation, family, and beyond. I’m interested in the ā€œwhyā€ behind things. Many of our thoughts, feelings, and reactions make sense when we look at earlier experiences or relationships. In therapy, we gently explore those patterns—how they show up now, and whether they’re helping or holding you back. I work in partnership with you. We’ll determine your course of treatment together. I believe the most lasting change happens when your voice is central to the process.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE: * LAW STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING * ANY STUDENT COPING WITH ILLNESS/BEREAVEMENT There is widespread recognition of significant mental health challenges affecting law students, especially depression, anxiety, and substance use. As an attorney and psychotherapist, I understand the unique stressors and pressures of law school and the legal profession. For many years, I managed the high demands of big law and a federal judicial clerkship. I spent more than a decade in higher education leading a law school mental health and wellness program, counseling law students and alumni with career and professional concerns, and teaching first- and third-year law courses. Through individually tailored therapy, I help clients cultivate healthy coping mechanisms to navigate the many demands of the legal field while prioritizing mental well-being. My successful approach integrating evidence-based therapeutic interventions with law-related concepts and experiences has been a game changer for clients. ​Additionally, as a former national research and healthcare leader, patient advocate and caregiver for 25+ years, I help individuals and their loved ones navigate the challenges and opportunities presented to those living with chronic, life altering or terminal illness. For those dealing with bereavement and grief, I help clients cope with the many facets of loss and move towards healing, acceptance, and finding a renewed sense of meaning in life.
