In Person Therapists in East Aurora, NY

Counseling is a valuable investment in you. People seek it out for different reasons. Whatever your situation, I’ll be pleased to meet you and sort out the best ways I can support you in achieving your goals. My focus as a counselor is person-centered, trauma- informed and strengths-based. Those are social work terms that mean I want to understand you and your unique story to help you use and build on strengths you might not even know you already have so you can have the life you want. The types of counseling I have special training in can be used to help in a variety of situations. Let’s get together to see what we can figure out.

As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), I am dedicated to helping clients learn new skills to become healthier versions of themselves. I have been working in the mental health field in the Buffalo area since 2016 providing services to children, adolescents and adults. I believe in using a trauma based approach to help individuals explore their past to help improve their present and future.

Have you been struggling and seeking answers? Have you been wanting to find help, but don't know where to look? Well, I am here to encourage, support and guide you through your healing journey. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with seven years experience working with individuals with a variety of mental health concerns. Whether you're experiencing daily life stressors, generalized anxiety or depression, impulsivity concerns or a history of trauma, I am here to help. Your goals are my goals; let's identify and work towards achieving them together.

Are you having difficulty navigating the challenges of day-to-day life? Do small tasks seem like giant hurdles to overcome or complete? Are you having difficulty being present in the moment, or have you recently experienced a new life event that you're finding difficult to adjust to? Fostering self-awareness, inner peace, and a self-guided exploration of your true authentic self are pillars of my practice. Let's work together to identify positive ways to cope with every day stressors, all while reinforcing your personal strengths, and promoting overall wellness.

Committing to the work of counseling is a gift to yourself and those you interact with on a daily basis. You can learn to manage the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that don’t serve you anymore. You can learn more about your unique self and how to take good care of your body, mind, and spirit so that taking care of others is easier and more enjoyable. You can learn how to communicate with others in healthier and more productive ways. And most importantly, you can learn all this in a safe, non-judgmental environment where new thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are discovered, practiced , and celebrated.

We're all doing the best we can with what we have to work with. However, life is always changing, and the tools we were given in the past, may not be working for us in the present. Counseling can act as a software update for your mind, clearing out old ideas, unprocessed emotion, and beliefs, that are holding you back from reaching your goals. I use EMDR therapy and other evidence-based modalities in my work. If you want to live your life more than think about it, and if you want your past to stop showing up uninvited in the present; then you may benefit from this unique, innovative, and holistic form of therapy.

Is your tank often on empty? Does something feel wrong? Maybe it's your relationships, depression, chronic burning out, or past events that continue to show up in your life— therapy can be valuable in building the life you want. My priority is to offer a helpful, honest, and respectful relationship. Meaningful treatment can lead to feeling more whole, a greater sense of one's own agency, and more at ease.
