I've been in practice for 27 years. I have a Masters degree in Social Work and a Masters Degree in Criminal Justice. I also have advanced certification In Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching. Common treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy.
I work hard to cultivate a peaceful, safe, caring atmosphere with my clients. My clients tell me that they feel supported and have had breakthroughs that they did not experience with previous therapists. I frequently provide trainings in the community in the areas of mental health, women’s issues and parenting and have been selected for news interviews on two occasions as a local mental health expert in my field.
I have been in the health care field for over 10 years. When working with individuals, I believe it’s important to take a humanistic approach and focus on what a client’s goals. Providing a safe non-judgement space is important in order to have a successful relationship. I like to meet individuals where they are and utilize a person-centered approach when discussing coping skills or creating goals for outside of the counseling session.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Buffalo
Finding postpartum therapists in Buffalo starts with knowing what kind of support fits this stage of care. Postpartum concerns can include more than depression, such as postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for experience in perinatal mental health, post-natal care, postpartum care services, or post pregnancy care. A listed PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.
In Buffalo, local options may include therapists with offices near your home, workplace, or regular route, while virtual sessions can expand access when scheduling is tight. For many new parents, appointment time, infant care, physical recovery, and transportation all shape what feels realistic. You can narrow your search by availability, session format, therapeutic approach, and whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you see how they describe postpartum care plans, communication style, and experience with new parents.
Postpartum health care in Buffalo can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists who match your needs and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific plan and see available options in Buffalo.
