- LMHC
I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with several years of experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. I have utilized individual, group, and family therapy in my work. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from SUNY Geneseo and a Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. John Fisher College. After completing my master’s, I worked toward and gained licensure as a mental health counselor through the New York State Department of Education. I have experience in multiple types of therapy, and always take a client-centered focus to determine the best course of therapy for you. I am also particularly interested in a well-rounded and holistic approach to care, and have trained as a yoga instructor and doula as well.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
