Therapists in Niagara County, NY

My goal as a clinician is to create a safe space where we can work through issues that may be causing you distress, and eventually celebrate your positive growth. I may be a particularly good fit for those seeking support around interpersonal relationships, life transitions, trauma, anxiety or depression. Together, we will explore the patterns in your life that are no longer serving you. I am also a certified perinatal mental health provider and have a special interest in working with folks navigating challenges around parenthood including postpartum depression/anxiety, birth trauma, pregnancy loss and infertility.

Being human comes with complexities of great loss, love, curiosities and questions. We may reach a point in their experience where they feel like they are not living as their best and most authentic self. This can leave some feeling depressed, anxious, angry and fearful. As well as having ruminating thoughts, social withdrawal and being overwhelmed by it all. While working alongside a therapist, I believe that you can create a healthier and deeper understanding of the self, learn/practice communication skills, and process trauma to navigate and gain depth and perspective on the complexities of life.

In today’s fast-paced digital world, the growth journey from childhood to adulthood can be challenging and stormy at times. Especially when there are chronic issues, escalating symptoms or sudden life changes, the adults in a child’s life may find themselves in the vulnerable position of seeking assistance outside of their direct circle of support. As a counselor by nature, I have spent my career passionate about strengthening families and helping children to flourish in the midst of difficult life circumstances. I specialize in the common challenges of childhood/adolescence and offer a wide range of parent education opportunities.

What is it like to be growing up in such complicated times? It is no wonder that so many children are suffering from symptoms of anxiety, depression and other challenging behaviors and are in need additional support. Parents and caregivers find themselves in need of assistance to find helpful ways to respond. You are concerned about a child you love who is struggling, and have hope that things can change. I also provide psychotherapy to adults with a variety of mental health issues. There is no need to struggle alone. Let's go forward from here together.

Other areas of focus are: maternal mental health (perinatal and postpartum anxiety and depression), and working with teens and young adults. I come from a mindfulness-based perspective, and have a strengths-based and Buddhist orientation.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and founder of Buffalo Integrative Psychology, PLLC. I believe that every person has an innate ability to heal, change, and grow when provided with a safe and supportive environment.

This will help us journey to a heightened understanding so you can take the necessary steps to live a more fulfilled life.

People seek out therapy for many different reasons. Unexpected changes in our lives can be overwhelming and stressful. Perhaps you are feeling alone, confused, misunderstood. Maybe you find yourself at a crossroad in your life and don’t know what direction to take. It takes courage to ask for help. Therapy is a pathway for hope, growth and healing. As a therapist for over 20 years, I have worked with a large age range of people with a multitude of mental health disorders. I honor and respect your individuality, life story and the unique circumstances that brought you here. I welcome the opportunity to guide you on this journey.

Living in “survival mode?” Asking “what is my purpose in life?” Feeling stuck, overwhelmed by fear, facing a transition in your life? Life doesn't always turn out the way we plan, and can make us feel all kinds of emotions. It's ok to not feel ok. We all struggle with life sometimes. You don't have to have a mental health disorder to seek a professional. It is healthy to seek out someone who can provide a guiding hand, an objective ear to listen, and to provide answers to your questions. I can help you learn to listen to your body, quiet your mind, and follow your heart to find peace within your soul. As we get older, we sometimes

If you are struggling in your life - if you feel unhappy in relationships, wish to feel more confident, are working through grief, loss, or trauma, or need support in coping with a new stage of life - therapy can help. It can be painful to go through such challenges alone. I aim to build a therapeutic relationship based on trust, empathy, acceptance, and compassion. Together, we can work to develop new awareness and insight, build coping strategies to deal with stress, and improve your quality of life.

You’re here because some emotional issue is holding you back from your best life. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma and even reached out for help from people you respect; but they’ve been either too busy with their own issues, critical or worse failed to listen? That can make your situation even more frustrating and lead to feeling unimportant, invisible, and even unworthy of love and belonging. No one deserves to feel devalued. I know this is more than a platitude because everyone I have ever worked with has so much value; just often untapped or unrecognized.

Life is stressful and distracting enough without putting others needs above your own. But that’s what we tend to do! As a result we are left feeling drained. Relationships are complicated – whether it be with yourself or others. Throughout our lifetime relationships are often the most neglected and yet one of the most important. It is through the relationship with yourself and others that personal growth and change develops. This requires looking inward to discover what you need, want, and desire.
