Today is the first day of the rest of your life. How do you want to live? Take a good, long look at who you are. Are you happy? If your life is good, could it be better? If you’re not happy, what is getting in the way of you being happy? Your weight... finances... employment...love life (or lack of)? Is there a traumatic experience you haven't dealt with? Whatever it is, good or bad, left or right, let's figure it out and get you moving toward the life you want to live...one that you love. Yes! It is possible to change your whole life, and to be happy.
I am a clinical Social Worker with 15+ years experience in mental health counseling. I hold a Doctorate degree in Social Work and a Master's Certificate in Trauma-Informed Counseling from the University at Buffalo. Using an eclectic approach that integrates CBT, solution focused therapy, person-centered therapy and DBT, I will help you live your best life.
So whether you're dealing with difficult past experiences, looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to change the direction of your life, I'm here to help you live the life you really want.
