I am a practicing licensed mental health counselor in Buffalo NY and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. I firmly believe in a Harm Reduction approach to life, not just providing therapy for clients. I also emphasize the importance of the relationship that is therapy and the communication that takes place in the therapeutic environment. I understand the importance of trust in your treatment provider and put my all into reinforcing that my clients can trust me with their deepest. No shame or judgement allowed. That's not my job and would be significantly counterproductive to our goal of change. Shame in treatment, not here. ADV

Change can be difficult - but with support it becomes possible. You might be struggling with difficult thoughts like "what if my family never accepts my life choices - will they ever accept me?" Perhaps you're battling indecisiveness and fear about whether you're "good enough" to succeed, preventing you from reaching your aspirations and goals? Or maybe you feel confident and successful at times, but at other moments as if your shield for taking on the world is paper-thin? I utilize methods including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help resolve these concerns.

Over the past 24 years, I have worked with clients with a range of issues from depression and anxiety to stress and relationship issues. My clients describe me as approachable, down-to-earth and practical in my work with them. I enjoy the process of exploring what is causing distress and identifying together what needs to be done to resolve those issues, whether that be learning more effective ways of responding or working towards acceptance, or a little bit of both. I believe my clients know best what they need and I am there to guide them in that process.
