Vulnerability to hurt, disappointment, sadness, and grief are a normal part of the human experience. In trying to make sense of these struggles, we often turn them inward, forming painful beliefs about ourselves and the world that can shape our relationships and sense of self.

I believe that a genuine, authentic therapist-client relationship has the power to heal. I'm not looking to "fix" my clients, but instead become a fellow traveler in their therapeutic process. We will work collaboratively to identify and remove both conscious and unconscious barriers that may be keeping you stuck, moving you toward a life that is meaningful, authentic, and purposeful. This may involve offering new ideas and techniques, or identifying and shifting unhelpful patterns, transforming them into more adaptive behaviors. In this safe, judgment-free space, you can reconnect to who you truly are.

I completed my graduate studies at New York University's Silver School of Social Work and have worked in both private practice where I served adult individuals and couples, and community-based settings, focused on protecting families and strengthening secure attachments. These experiences have shaped my deep respect for the ways people adapt to early relational environments—and how those adaptations can later create both resilience and pain.

I work with individuals facing depression, anxiety, OCD, relational challenges, attachment wounds, family of origin issues, patterns rooted in early family dynamics and the intergenerational effects of trauma on parenting and relationships, including narcissistic abuse.

I hold a special interest in those impacted by the issues faced by adult children of alcoholics and dysfunctional families.

Psychologist

I have always been interested in what makes each of us who we are and how we relate to others. Throughout my training to become a clinical psychologist, I trained in many different settings including university counseling centers, hospitals, community mental health centers and private practices. I ultimately chose to open my own practice so that I could have the freedom to meet each client's specific needs. I am so grateful for the ability to walk alongside each of my clients as they navigate the challenges and joys of life.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Buffalo, NY

Finding OCD therapists in Buffalo starts with looking for a therapist who has specific experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder and related concerns, such as intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, checking, contamination fears, and reassurance seeking. Exposure and response prevention, also called ERP, is a well-established therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you review therapist profiles, look for clear references to OCD, ERP, exposure and response prevention, cognitive behavioral therapy, and experience supporting people with the concerns you want to address.

Buffalo has a strong mental health care community, though the right OCD fit may depend on both specialty training and practical access. Some people prefer in-person OCD therapy near them, while others use virtual sessions to consider more therapists across the Buffalo area and nearby communities. When comparing options, look beyond whether a therapist lists OCD as a specialty. Check whether they mention ERP training, current appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and how they describe their session structure or communication style.

Therapy in Buffalo can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for OCD therapists, review detailed bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and schedule directly when you are ready. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan on Headway before booking.
