Hello I have been a practicing therapist for 20 years. I received my Masters degree from Buffalo University in 2005. I continue to receive and seek education to further my skill set.

In therapy I provide an environment that will allow you to express yourself freely and openly. I am genuine and supportive, but can be direct and challenge you to adapt your thinking when necessary. I strive for my clients to feel more focused, emotionally regulated, and confident. I work with adults who are suffering from anxiety including OCD and panic, as well as depression, grief, and relationship issues.

I specialize in holistic and medication free approach to psychotherapy using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to help minimize and relieve symptoms of anxiety, chronic insomnia, grief, family issues, stress related to work.

It's so hard to ask for help, isn't it? I specialize in grief, and my clients are frequently depressed, anxious, and overwhelmed by the complexity of their circumstances and emotions. I help people grieve, build resilience, and navigate a new chapter. Many of my clients are experiencing caregiver strain as they begin caring for elderly parents or spouses, and I provide guidance on a variety of stressors related to caregiving.

They can bring up unresolved issues in our past. I am therapist that goes to therapy. I believe in the healing power and magic of safe spaces that allow US to be AUTHENTIC. I've been a therapist for the past 12 years and have accumulated experience working with folks who have experienced trauma, anxiety, infertility, bereavement, suicide, PNES, epilepsy, immigration and depression.
