Virtual Trauma and Anxiety Counseling based in Monroe County, NY
If you are carrying the weight of past trauma, constant anxiety, or a harsh inner critic, it is easy to feel disconnected from your daily life. Knowing these loops exist does not make them easy to change on your own.
At New Chapter Mental Health Counseling, I provide active, collaborative virtual therapy tailored for individuals across Rochester and Monroe County who are ready to break free from the patterns keeping them stuck.
My clients appreciate my deep listening, patience, and grounded perspective. Together, we do not just talk about your problems. We actively focus on calming your nervous system, replacing self-blame with curiosity, and building practical tools you can use in your real life.
A Foundation Built on Resilience
My background includes years of working with individuals facing complex trauma, severe anxiety, and major life transitions. Having facilitated specialized trauma recovery and men's groups throughout New York State, I operate on the firm belief that you are already doing the absolute best you can with the tools you currently have. My goal is to help you safely step out of survival mode and build new, healthy boundaries for your journey ahead.
My Specializations
I have extensive experience helping individuals navigate a wide range of mental health conditions, chronic stressors, and life transitions. To provide truly effective care, I have completed advanced training in these key areas:
Anxiety and Worry
Quieting racing thoughts and physical restlessness keeping you on edge.
Tuning into the body to target stress where it lives in the nervous system.
Childhood Trauma
Processing past wounds and safely stepping out of long-standing survival modes.
Self-Esteem and Shame
Replacing a harsh, critical inner voice with genuine curiosity and compassion.
Mapping your internal system to transform inner conflict and self-blame.
Anger Management
Understanding intense emotional triggers before you react automatically.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
