I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified Group Psychotherapist with a speciality in human sexuality. I received my MS from the Family Therapy Training Program at the University of Rochester School of Medicine. During my training, I worked at Highland Family Medicine and at the family therapy clinic at Strong Hospital. I was trained in multiple family therapy approaches and have sought additional formal instruction in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Modern Analytic group therapy. 

I began working as a college counselor at Alfred University in 2011, providing therapy services to a diverse range of students struggling with depression & anxiety, sexual orientation & identity concerns, grief and loss, family conflict, acute & past trauma, life transitions and creative crises among other concerns. During this time I worked closely with psychiatric medicine providers, and developed an understanding of different psychopharmacological medications. I opened my private practice in 2014 shortly before transitioning away from the college setting. While I don’t prescribe medication myself, I’m happy to collaborate with your prescriber if you do take medication or are interested in exploring the possibility.
