490 Niagara Street Buffalo, NY 14201
I work with children, adolescents, & adults facing challenges such as stress management, career transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem & identity concerns, academic or family stress, complex grief, PTSD, anxiety, depression, & difficulties with emotion regulation. Many clients start therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in unhelpful patterns. Together, we will identify these challenges & develop skills to reduce distress, manage difficult emotions, & create meaningful change. My goal is to provide a warm, conversational, & nonjudgmental environment where you can share your experiences at your own pace.
I take a collaborative, supportive approach, tailoring my methods to your unique needs & goals. I use therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, & Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches help you become more aware of your emotions, improve coping skills, & challenge negative thoughts.
I believe therapy is most effective when you feel safe, heard, & free to be yourself without judgment. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your child, I am committed to guiding & empowering you toward lasting positive change, every step of the way.
