- As a licensed mental health counselor, I help adults who feel stuck in anxiety, depression, or past trauma reclaim momentum in their lives. Together, we work on shifting how you relate to difficult emotions, building practical skills to navigate discomfort, face challenges head-on, and move toward the life you want. I also specialize in EMDR therapy to help you reprocess trauma and break free from old patterns while staying safe and connected in the present.
My name is Kiki and I am a graduate of the University at Buffalo School of Social Work. I have experience working with adults in the outpatient setting navigating struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges and the many stressors that life brings us.
I'm ready to help you get started on your journey!
I received my masters in social work from Adelphi University. I worked as a social work director for a number of years previously but I stopped because I really preferred more face to face time with my patients. I got so much more from my time counseling than being in a management position. Over my 22 years as a social worker, I've come across many people with diverse issues and truly have enjoyed all of my experiences as they helped form the person I am, the therapist I am. Much of my experience is working with anxiety, depression, bereavement, couples counseling, life transitions, stress management, cancer and chronic illness counseling, palliative care counseling, caregiver support and community resource and referral.
People always tell me that I'm a good listener. This is my greatest accomplishment and one I'm most proud of because as your therapist I want to HEAR you. I want to join you in your pain or difficulties and help you find your way through them. I may not have experienced what you have specifically gone through or are facing now, but I know how to find my way in to how you are feeling. Building a therapeutic rapport with you will be my first step. Trust needs to build and then most of my work is generally solution focused and cognitive-behavioral techniques. You will see that I am a caring, non-judgmental person. I would love the chance to help see you through your challenges. You've taken the first step!
