Therapist Overview
I’ve been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for 20 years, working the last 7 years in private practice in Ithaca, NY. While I still have an office location, I am transitioning my practice to an online/Tele-mental Health service which helps minimize typical barriers to receiving counseling such as child care, disability or transportation issues. I take a collaborative approach to this work and draw on my experience and education to provide an individualized approach to therapy. I work with people who are going through, or wanting, a big life change or simply wanting to examine unhelpful patterns and options for change. My areas of focus include chronic pain and illness, mood/anxiety disorders, grief and relationship dynamics. I take a conversational approach to meetings and provide educational media and concrete (no pressure) options for change during our conversations. I am skilled in motivational interviewing, teaching mindfulness and pain science-based interventions. I view therapy as a series of little experiments and information gathering. The first step in this process is scheduling an initial, brief phone conversation where we can see if this is the right fit for you.
