Integrative Therapists in Orchard Park, NY

My approach to therapy is collaborative. We may work with a variety of issues that include anxiety and depression, grief, end of life issues, chronic illness and pain, existential crises, men's issues, and relationship difficulties. Alongside therapy, my work has helped give me a perspective that addresses every stage of life and its challenges. We can approach such challenges together, ranging from young adulthood through those near the end of life. It's always an honor to accompany people on a journey of self-discovery and who have taken this first brave step toward healing. I would be honored to take it with you.

Feeling isolated and alone? I specialize in running online and in-person IFS L-1 and L-2 groups to support a sense of connection, personal growth and professional learning. Although I no longer do individual therapy, I am planning to offer Consultation Groups for therapists, a Women’s Empowerment Group, a weekly online Meditation Circle, Soul Collage workshops and an IFS Healing Circle, all of which offer a safe place to gain more compassion, self-awareness and practice in cultivating Self-leadership traits.

Thank you for visiting my page. Everyone needs help from time to time - sometimes things can just get tough. Navigating difficult symptoms, stressors, unsettling life events on our own can be challenging. Therapy can help you find relief and hope for a better tomorrow. Being vulnerable and discussing difficult areas of our lives can be hard to do - but the long term benefits of working on yourself are worth it… You are worth it! And I am here to help.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor / Therapist located in the Village of Hamburg, NY. Currently accepting new clients, with private / discrete parking and entrance.

I believe everyone innate worthiness. Unfortunately, our lifetime experiences may cause us to feel otherwise. I believe we all have the capacity for greater self compassion, healing, and finding fulfillment in our lives. Once our burdens feel lighter and we begin to let go of old stories about ourselves, we can live more fully as our intrinsic selves . I am trained in Natural Processing, certified in EMDR as well as Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and EquiLateral EMDR.

I admire & appreciate the courage it takes to initiate & maintain therapy. Indivduals & couples call because they are stuck in unhealthy patterns & do not know how to do something different. I assist them in creating & maintaining healthy patterns. Anxiety & panic are struggles for many people. They learn to control the anxiety as opposed the anxiety controlling them. Miscommunication happens because people often listen to talk as opposed to understand. I teach clients how to communicate in the therapy room so they leave knowing how to do it. Clients regain trust so they can reconnect emotionally & sexually.

I provide therapy to children, adolescents, adults & couples. I have over 10 years’ experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, personality disorders, mood disorders, trauma, grief & loss along with individuals experiencing suicidal ideation and/or self-harm behaviors. I offer a relaxed and nonjudgmental space where you will be validated yet challenged and ultimately self-empowered. The therapy relationship is the key to your success. I strive to create a connection with my clients through my casual approach and my genuine accepting nature as well as creating an environment conducive to positive change.

Life events can impact us in ways we couldn’t have imagined and at times we least expect it. These events can elicit parts of us that experience confusion, anxiety, overwhelm, and sadness or lead us to fall into patterns that may not make sense. Perhaps you’d like support to bring a sense of clarity, connection, and confidence within yourself and within your relationships, or to develop and heighten a passion and vitality for life. I recognize that your goals are unique to you and are honored in the therapeutic process.

I understand why there has been a recent rise in anxiety and depressive symptoms for many people of all ages. Major events and unexpected life changes can cause a significant amount of stress and anxiety. Stress can make us feel out of control and overwhelmed physically, mentally and emotionally. Things from our past can start to impact us more in our present. Relationships can seem more challenging and trusting ourselves almost impossible. Every person is different and when you take a closer look at every aspect of your life with help from an objective support it can help you see things more clearly and offer ways to cope.

I strive to meet my clients where they are at without judgment or expectation; to offer a guiding light in the storms of life and provide a safe harbor. My approach to therapy is to provide individuals with a person-centered and strengths-based partnership grounded in trauma-informed evidence-based practices including EMDR, IFS-informed Parts Work, and Animal-Assisted Therapy Interventions.

“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” (Carl Rodgers) We can’t change what we do not explore and the first step in the direction of that journey is always the hardest. But you are here already taking that step, looking for someone to assist with the change that you seek. Everyday life can be in the way of focusing on healing from our past, management of stress/mental health issues and making changes for our future. Setting aside time for yourself is important! You are important!

Life often throws us curveballs. These could be relationship difficulties, death of a loved one, stress at work, or struggles related to past trauma, depression, anxiety or life transitions. Perhaps your little one is showing behavioral struggles and he is falling behind in school, or you need help navigating a new adoption, or foster child. I will tailor my therapeutic technique to you. It is my job to listen, learn about your individual situation and provide you with the tools, techniques or resources to help; whether through psychoeducation, dialogue, coaching, or homework.

I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience. I specialize in working with adults who have experienced trauma and/or adversity, at any point in their life, which continues to create significant disturbance in the present. I view most psychological symptoms through the lens of trauma and offer treatment that integrates several methods that have been found to be effective at healing from trauma, such as EMDR, somatic experiencing, sensorimotor psychotherapy, ego state work and attachment-based therapy.
