As a licensed counselor, it is my job to provide a space where you feel supported, heard, and understood as you seek to find healing and comfort in your life. I am an integrated clinician, serving those struggling with mental health challenges and/or addiction, with a special focus on pregnant and postpartum women who are experiencing challenges in this unique phase of life. Through treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy, and mindfulness practices, I am committed to supporting you on your recovery journey.
I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health and have experience working with families of loved ones struggling with addiction. Additionally, I am trained in "Seeking Safety," which is an evidence-based treatment of trauma. Through my specialties of perinatal mental health, trauma, and codependency, I am able to help you feel safe and validated in our sessions.
At Horizon Therapy Associates, we have access to many resources & multiple types of treatment. If you have treatment needs outside of what I can provide, I can link you with someone who can help! I am accepting clients through Horizon Therapy Associates. Don’t wait to get the help you need! Please call - 716-831-1800.
