Jill
I have always been a person who enjoys involvement in many varied activities. As a psychologist, this means that I am drawn to working with different people with diverse issues in creative ways that best fit our personalities and your needs. I began my community-based practice directly after becoming licensed to practice in New York state, and continue to appreciate the flexibility and diversity of my work as a private practitioner.
It is a privilege to serve my community; in addition to private practice work, I volunteer with the American Red Cross as a local Disaster Mental Health provider for our neighbors during times of crisis, teach at a local university, and engage in consultative and legislative efforts within the realm of mental health.
EDUCATION and experience
I graduated from University at Albany's Counseling Psychology Doctoral program in 2014. My doctoral internship and post-doctoral residency training programs were completed at the Orlando VA and Albany VA Medical Centers where I honed my expertise in holistic trauma treatment, embedded within my generalist psychotherapy training.
Over the past several years, I have trained and worked in my own community-based private practice office, VA and community hospitals, college counseling centers, substance use clinics, and community mental health clinics, as well having served as a community crisis responder. It is in my diverse work roles and settings which have contributed to broad knowledge and flexibility as a psychologist to help individuals address the complexity of the human experience.
