Wellpoint | Amerigroup Therapists in Amherst, NY
Hello! I look forward to working with you. I established a private practice in January, 2022 after teletherapy proved to be such an important mode of treatment. I take a holistic approach in developing a relationship with each client and I am careful to consider the 4 components of their well-being; the physical, the emotional, the psychological and the spiritual. I offer a straight forward, down to earth approach to motivate my clients to challenge their belief systems and to develop healthier coping strategies for life change. I can help you develop communication skills, set boundaries in relationships and live your best life.

Life takes us on many unexpected twists and turns. No matter how hard working, tough or intelligent we are - none of us can get it right all of the time. Things have often been building up for a while, perhaps as early as our childhood. When we finally do fail, it hurts. We are shocked and caught unaware. We judge ourselves harshly and feel we are less than what we should be. This is when we need help in getting through these life transitions. Counseling can give us a fresh perspective. It helps us look at each crisis as an opportunity, to find even better directions for ourselves and for our loved ones.

I am a full-time practioner, and have been a therapist for over 30 years. I have worked in many different settings. I am not accepting new clients, other than the folks i have already communicated with. Trust is an important part of any relationship. I understand that it is something that is created slowly, and maintained over time. I often serve as someone who bears witness to the stories people bring with them. By listening to those that come to see me, I better understand their experiences and then have an opportunity to assist them to fully heal.

I have been working in the social work field for over 24 years. My experience has been primarily with Adolescents and Adults who suffer from addiction and mental health disorders. I enjoy the process of engaging individuals and trying to develop a working relationship built upon sincerity and trust. I believe that the therapeutic alliance is the most important aspect of any effective counseling session. I understand and recognize that each individual is unique and brings his/her different life experiences and circumstances to the therapeutic relationship which serve as their building blocks of internal change and self-growth.
