Hi there! I'm Dr. Sean. I help people break out of vicious cycles and build a life they love to live.
I work with individuals from birth to age 30, and their families. My specialty is treating ADHD and other complex issues for which help is often hard to find.
In addition to my doctoral training, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Geisinger in pediatric psychology (2014). I am a licensed psychologist in PA and NY.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals, couples, children, adolescents, and families. I hold a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, a master’s degree in School Counseling, and a bachelor’s degree in Social Science. My professional background includes providing therapy in private practice, school, home, and community-based settings.
I specialize in relationship concerns, family conflict, anxiety, emotional regulation, parenting challenges, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem, and communication difficulties. I also work with couples who want to strengthen their emotional connection, rebuild trust, improve intimacy, and develop healthier ways of managing conflict.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client’s needs. I incorporate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, family systems interventions, and Gottman-informed techniques. I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful and lasting change.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in New York and Vermont, with more than eight years of experience. I work with women and adults in their 20s through 40s who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. When life feels overwhelming, therapy can offer space to slow down, feel understood, and reconnect with yourself. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can be open and honest.
My focus is working with people who may be feeling overwhelmed, worried, depressed, or struggling to manage daily stress. Much of my experience and training is focused on women and families experiencing mood challenges when having a baby (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders), infertility, and adjusting to the many changes during this time. Also, I have much experience working with pre-teens and adolescents who may be struggling emotionally and/or behaviorally.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Buffalo
Finding a postpartum therapist in Buffalo starts with identifying the type of support you need. Postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and other perinatal mood concerns are common, and support from a qualified healthcare professional may help. Look for a licensed provider such as an LCSW, LMHC, or psychologist who has specific experience with perinatal mental health. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you commit.
With providers practicing across Buffalo, Amherst, Tonawanda, and the greater Erie County area, you have options for both in-person and virtual sessions. Virtual appointments can be especially practical when you're caring for a newborn and leaving the house feels like a lot. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider's specialty, their availability, or whether they offer a free introductory call.
Postpartum therapy in Buffalo can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
