Life can be challenging and it can sometimes feel that overcoming the obstacles around us are nearly impossible. Beginning counseling can be an incredibly hard and a challenging experience, but it can also be rewarding. Sometimes it can be challenging to reach out and ask for help. By starting your search for a therapist, you are choosing to face the challenges and search for answers and support with your mental health. I primarily provide individual therapy for individuals of all ages, but I love to incorporate family therapy sessions when needed focusing on supporting my client and their loved ones.

Psychotherapy provides an environment where you can learn about yourself and create change in your life. I work to provide a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental and confidential environment for my clients to begin to achieve their goals and to regain a sense of satisfaction with their lives. In addition to my physical office space located in a suburb of Buffalo, NY I offer teletherapy to clients all over NYS, and Florida through a secure HIPPA compliant platform.

I help adults who are really struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, and difficult situations. I'll help you tap into your inner strength and personal power so you can make the changes needed to feel better and create a more fulfilling life. We'll work with your thoughts and behaviors, and use mindfulness skills for symptom management of your anxiety and/or depression.

Life can often be challenging. You may feel you've gotten "off track" and need some direction. You may be overwhelmed with things and don't know what to do or how to make it better. It may be starting to affect your relationships, and you don't know how to stop it. You may be wondering what's wrong with you and why this keeps happening, or whether you're depressed. Perhaps you're having panic attacks that come out of nowhere. Or maybe you seem to have developed social anxiety. Perhaps you just don't feel like yourself or aren't content with your life. You want things to be different, you just don't know how to make that happen. You might be wondering whether you're always going to feel this way. You've got a lot going for you, you've accomplished quite a bit, but it still feels like there's something missing. You're not sure what else to do. Most of us feel this way at some point in our lives. Especially when trying to handle the stress of life, relationships and the impact of certain events all at once.

You viewing my profile right now means you took a very vulnerable first step to reach out for help and I applaud you for that. Being vulnerable can feel scary, but I am a believer in "great things never came from comfort zones". I have worked with a variety of populations ranging from children-adults and including things such as anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship issues, substance use and addiction, behavioral disorders and other stress and conflict. Whether this is your first experience with therapy or a new attempt, I would love to be able to assist you in your journey!

I offer a supportive, safe, and genuine approach to counseling that empowers my clients to achieve personal growth and develop skills to overcome the challenges and barriers they face in their lives. I use a combination of EMDR, Internal Family Systems, attachment focused therapy, CBT, DBT, and schema therapy to help clients gain skills and resources on their journey to wellness. With my training from Postpartum Support International, I also specialize in working with the perinatal population as they face the challenges that becoming new parents may bring.

As a seasoned mental health professional with over 19 years of experience, I specialize in treating depression and anxiety across diverse age groups. My passion lies in fostering mental well-being within adults, couples, families, teenagers, and kids, dedicating myself to the pursuit of their holistic health.

Our path to therapy often starts in a painful place. We may be feeling hopeless and disconnected, not quite like ourselves. It is okay to feel this way. It is even informative to feel this way because it tells us something different needs to happen. And you’re already taking your first step towards that in searching for a therapist. Feeling better starts with just one step.
