Life can be a tumultuous journey, full of ups, downs, and unpredictable twists and turns. Even when life begins to settle, our own minds can create upheaval and send us spinning into chaos once again. It can be like this for all of us, and no one should have to trudge through it on their own. At it's worst, we can feel completely broken, stuck, ashamed, lost, and we suffer. You are not alone, and you no longer need to feel alone in your struggle. Whether it is life transitions, relationships, the past, depression, anxieties, or whatever has you stuck or spiraling at this time, you have come to the right place.

Whether you are dealing with anxiety, past trauma, depression, self-esteem issues or any other problem, don’t lose hope as a better tomorrow is possible. Seeking help and support for personal matters may seem daunting at first, but once you take the first step, you will feel more confident about moving forward towards a better place and becoming a better version of yourself.

I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to discuss whatever issues or concerns they are struggling with. I believe that entering therapy is an act of courage, and I consider it a privilege to support clients through that process. We will explore root causes behind recurring patterns in your life, and we will address and help you to change core beliefs that may be holding you back. I work with clients from all walks of life and have a wide range of experience in the mental health field. I am also trained in and offer EMDR.

Hypnotherapy connects you to the power of the subconscious mind, and combined with holistic counseling and acupressure, old self defeating patterns based on trauma or self-doubt can be released. Underneath these old patterns, your true confidence, resilience, and strength lie hidden. These are natural human qualities which we all can experience when the mind turns away from negativity and fear toward trust and wholeness. It requires a shift of attention from the conditioned mind to the real presence of your own authentic self which the "BodyMind Transformation' process encourages and facilitates.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and founder of Buffalo Integrative Psychology, PLLC. I believe that every person has an innate ability to heal, change, and grow when provided with a safe and supportive environment. Together, one of our goals will be to increase your self-awareness, identify your current struggles, and explore what might be getting in the way of change. This will help us journey to a heightened understanding so you can take the necessary steps to live a more fulfilled life.

What are you looking for in therapy? Maybe you just need a little help getting through your day. Maybe you need a little extra support, someone in your corner to listen to you and help you untangle the thoughts in your head. Maybe you feel like you're going down the spiral, and nothing seems to bring you back. Let's talk about it. Let's work together to help you live the life you want, to find peace.

Growth is uncomfortable but so is staying the same. It’s hard to know where to start when it comes to improving your mental wellbeing. Together we will navigate your healing journey as you develop a greater sense of peace in your life.

Our minds and bodies carry memories and scars of experiences endured and the emotions we have attached to them. We may not choose what happens to us, but the stories we have are ours alone. I see you as the expert of your own life and will work alongside you as you heal emotional wounds and unlearn behaviors that no longer serve you. I support young adults and adults who are confronting anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem and relationships.

All of us reach points in our lives when we feel overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck. It is easy sometimes to feel discouraged and alone. In those moments, we may lose our ability to feel joy, to see our strengths, to feel connection, and live to our full potential. This is when counseling can provide the safety and support we all need to confront our personal challenges and rediscover the beauty and resilience of our own hearts.

Life presents pain and uncertainty. To learn and live by a perspective that takes you beyond ego, is to find meaning in your suffering as you sit with discomfort and take a closer look at your experience with vulnerability. Finding balance within yourself is not gained through the absence of worry and adversity-it’s discovered through a process of understanding and practicing self- acceptance and self-compassion while in the midst of life struggles. Let's explore your relationship with the negative aspects of human experience. As you look inward with honesty and without harsh judgement you can find yourself closer to your true self.

Sometimes we can feel stress and lost with relationships, our families, and ourselves. We all need help. Someone to listen to up. You might wish you could improve your sex life in your romantic relationships, or change your family and relationships interactions. Maybe you want to live a calm and peaceful life and overcome past traumas that don't let you move on. Replaying your history over and over, wishing things were different. It might be the way you think and treat yourself that brought you here. Maybe you want to discover more about yourself and never knew how.

I am a mental health counselor with 20 years of experience working with individuals, ages four and older. I’m trained as a co-occurring clinician and can work with individuals with both mental health and substance use disorders. I specialize in anxiety disorders, trauma disorders, behavioral disorders and Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Everyone deserves time and space to explore and better understand their thoughts, feelings, reactions and behaviors, and to experience inner peace and joy. It is an honor to share space with someone interested in growth and healing. Once we can better understand our past experiences and how they affect us in the present, we have more choices and can make adjustments in our life as we see fit. I believe that you know what is best and have the answers. Through the therapy process, and safely delving into those hurt places, those answers will come to light and help you figure out the best way to care for yourself.

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 believe that the beauty of counseling lies in helping others feel comfortable enough to be themselves, safe enough to be vulnerable, and empowered enough to take action steps needed to make the change they want to see in their lives become a reality. Navigating life, career, family, relationships, health, addiction and sometimes our own thoughts and hearts can be challenging. Please know it isn’t something you have to do alone. More importantly it is possible to navigate and or overcome such challenges. No two people are the same and therefore therapy at Wellness UR Way LLC will be tailored to each clients specific needs.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.
