I’ve been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for 20 years, working the last 10+ years in private practice in Ithaca, NY. While I have an office on N.

I work with people who are managing acute or chronic physical illness, pain and the often complicated diagnostic process.

Are you struggling with a mental health issue? Do you lack motivation, focus, and direction? Are you overwhelmed with life stressors and emotions? Are you living in the past, stuck, and unable to move forward? Do you use alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex or gaming to “cope” with life stressors? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you would benefit from counseling with an objective, nonjudgmental, and supportive therapist. Let me be that therapist for you. Life can be hard, stressful, and challenging but you do not have to navigate this trip alone.

Do you have relationships but still feel alone or unknown? Are your days busy but leave you depressed or unsatisfied? Do you wonder where you fit in and does your world feel small? A good life is one where you feel your life has purpose and meaning. It is one where you are connected to your authentic self, to other people, and to a sense of greater good. Therapy can be a key to finding these things. My work as a therapist is to provide safety, presence, knowledge, skills, and wisdom to help you find your path to your best life. I always strive to bring candor, kindness, practicality and depth to our sessions.
