ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Buffalo, NY

I am a licensed clinical social worker and have extensive experience in individual therapy. I studied at Hunter Silberman School of Social Work. I am certified in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and CBT and use these modalities along with others in a holistic approach to help support my clients in their therapeutic goals.

As a licensed psychologist, I help clients achieve their goals and overcome challenges through a collaborative and evidence-based approach. Using a culturally responsive cognitive behavior therapy framework, I create a safe space for self-exploration and making meaningful change. Working together, my clients have reported improved mood, relationships, and self-image. I have helped clients change unhelpful habits, adjust to life transitions, and reach their goals.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through life's challenges. My work is rooted in creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to be themselves.

I specialize in trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and helping individuals navigate the impact of difficult life experiences. In addition to my clinical training, my personal experiences have shaped my understanding of resilience, healing, and the importance of meaningful connection.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support and growth, I am committed to helping you build on your strengths and move toward a life that feels more aligned, connected, and fulfilling.

I have a vast background in social work as an NYU graduate. Beginning with early intervention and ABA therapy all throughout Manhattan and growing into the Jewish Board of Child and Family Therapy learning CBT, family, group and couples therapy. Practicing for over 20 years with CBT and IFS modalities as I find them to be the most effective, compassionate and straightforward approach to getting to know the self with a kind lens. Our society wants us to be in resistance to ourselves and we get to take a look at how that impacts us together. There is nothing wrong with your feelings, it is how they were treated that was wrong.
