Congratulations! You are taking the first steps to improve yourself and have a better life by visiting this website and looking through profiles. Often times people think of themselves as week if they find themselves asking for help. I consider it sign of strength. I believe in providing a practical and interactive experience for my clients in a sensitive, supportive, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment. I strive to work with my clients to have a sense of hope for the future. I believe in helping people reach their goals as quickly as possible so they can move on and be the best they can be.

I am a licensed and seasoned clinical social worker (LCSW-R) in practice for 30+ years, specializing in couples and individual therapy. My academic training was at the University at Buffalo; my post-graduate and continuing education was at The Marriage Counseling Center, where I mentored new therapists and developed a strong word-of-mouth following. Couples work included, but was not limited to, these critical issues: emotionally focused communication, destructive conflict patterns, emotional and physical intimacy, infidelity and trust repair, pre-marital assessment, commitment, and discernment of ultimate relationship habitability.

I enjoy working with people from all backgrounds. I love helping people who are motivated and have a goal in mind of what they want to work towards in their life. Whether it is relationship issues, anxiety, trauma or something else; There are always things we can learn from each other.

Attollo Counseling Services was born from a passion for promoting satisfying relationships, healthy families, meaningful marriages, and strong resilient individuals as they pursue their hopes, dreams, and happiness. While we all want these things, nothing is guaranteed except life will present challenges to take us off-course. Whether you are going through a major life adjustment, experiencing grief/loss, struggling to decide what steps to take towards your future, experiencing relationship challenges, or embarking on a new journey in life; you don't have to do it alone. We believe in compassion, collaboration, and creativity.

Feeling overwhelmed and feel your thoughts and moods run your life? And do you feel this prevents you from living life to its fullest? I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (R), and have been a therapist since 2008. I can begin therapy within 1 week of your initial call! Often through sharing our thoughts and struggles with a skilled, empathetic professional, hope can be restored. Also, by learning a few key thinking strategies and other simple mental techniques, together we can reduce and eliminate the feelings of being powerless over how our minds automatically can work against us. NOTE: Couples sessions are cash only - $150.

Whether you are new here or this isn't your first time around, the hardest part is always getting started and finding a therapist who is the right fit. I do my best to offer an accepting, empathetic, honest, and collaborative partnership- usually paired with a level of humor and humility. We owe it to ourselves to have a safe space to process life events and our natural range of emotions.

Are you or someone you know struggling with depression, anxiety, or feelings of not knowing how to manage the day to day stressors? Have you been the victim of abuse in a relationship or struggle with traumatic memories? You have made a good choice in seeking assistance to work through the difficulties you are having right now and I am here to help you reach your full potential.

We are all resilient people that are amazing at adapting and changing with our environments. When those places are unstable, unsafe or inconsistent, we figure out ways to survive. These patterns or beliefs can soothe us, keep us in control or help us to express ourselves. However for many of us, they can also become a burden and themselves a source of suffering. A complicated mix of discomfort as well as serving a meaningful function. No wonder it’s so hard to make changes, even when we have every good reason to. Taking on these patterns may seem overwhelming, however we can begin anywhere and set goals that makes sense for you.
