“Happiness comes from within. It is not dependent on external things or on other people. You become vulnerable and can be easily hurt when your feelings of security and happiness depend on the behavior and actions of other people. Never give your power to anyone else.” Brian Weiss
I consider it a privilege to provide counseling services to individuals, couples, and families. For individual counseling, I specialize in working with adults and adolescents. I offer counseling services in-person, by telehealth (video), or by phone.
My office location is in Brewerton, NY within the Syracuse/Central New York area. My office is out of my home and it is a relaxing setting. I also have co-therapists Siggy and Buddy (Labrador Retrievers ) there to assist if you would like them present! (June 1st, 2023 Update) I am so sad to report that my co-therapist, Buddy, died about 2 and a half weeks ago, and my clients and I miss him dearly…. Siggy seems to be doing fine with his brother’s and he has taken over Buddy’s work in helping my clients to feel comfortable and open to the counseling process.
