LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER • NEW YORK
Virtual therapy for men, trauma survivors, and burned-out professionals across New York.
REAL THERAPY. NO PRETENSE. NO JUDGMENT.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Upstate New York, offering virtual therapy to individuals across the state. For over 10 years, I've been helping people navigate the things that are hardest to talk about.
That might be anxiety that follows you everywhere. Depression that makes the simplest things feel impossible. Trauma that keeps surfacing no matter how hard you push it down. Or behaviors that feel out of control and that you haven't told anyone about yet.
I know that reaching out for help is not easy. Especially if you're someone who's spent most of your life handling things on your own. My approach is direct and down-to-earth. I'm not here to sit quietly and nod while you talk. I'm here to actually work with you. That means real conversation, a little humor when it fits, and a genuine focus on the things that brought you here in the first place.
No judgment. No script. Just honest, collaborative work, at your pace.
All sessions are 100% virtual, which means you get quality, confidential care from wherever you are in New York.
In your corner,

HOW I WORK
I take a person-centered approach. That means the work is built around you, not a one-size-fits-all model. I draw from a range of evidence-based methods depending on what you need, where you are, and what's actually going to help you move forward.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
EMDR
DBT
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy
Trauma-Informed Care
People come to me carrying a lot of different things. Some have been carrying it for years. Here's what I commonly help people work through:
WHO I WORK WITH
Anxiety and panic attacks
PTSD and trauma
Burnout and professional exhaustion
Depression and low mood
Sleep disturbances linked to stress, anxiety, or trauma
Compulsive or difficult-to-manage sexual behaviors
Significant life changes
If you don't see your experience on this list, reach out anyway. If I'm not the right fit, I'll point you toward someone who is.
READY TO WORK WITH SOMEONE WHO GETS IT?
