Univera Therapists in East Amherst, NY
I have been working in the social work field for over 24 years. My experience has been primarily with Adolescents and Adults who suffer from addiction and mental health disorders. I enjoy the process of engaging individuals and trying to develop a working relationship built upon sincerity and trust. I believe that the therapeutic alliance is the most important aspect of any effective counseling session. I understand and recognize that each individual is unique and brings his/her different life experiences and circumstances to the therapeutic relationship which serve as their building blocks of internal change and self-growth.

Should I stay or should I go? Sometimes stress gets in the way of the life we planned. Getting stuck is never fun...whether it is you, your partner, your children or your job. We become anxious about what to do next because we fear making a mistake. We know that we have to do something because doing nothing makes it worse, not better! Sometimes we simply need some guidance in how to move forward...sometimes help in letting go. I have been helping struggling couples, individuals and families for 30 years. Let me help you.

Hi! Thank you for your interest in my counseling services.
I work with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck, or disconnected from themselves and the life they want to live. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, motherhood and postpartum transitions, relationship challenges, burnout, trauma, self-esteem struggles, or major life changes. Some clients often are seeking practical coping tools and emotional support, while others are looking to heal deeper wounds, improve relationships, build confidence, or reconnect with who they are beneath the stress and survival mode.

Life can be challenging and it can sometimes feel that overcoming the obstacles around us are nearly impossible. Beginning counseling can be an incredibly hard and a challenging experience, but it can also be rewarding. Sometimes it can be challenging to reach out and ask for help. By starting your search for a therapist, you are choosing to face the challenges and search for answers and support with your mental health. I primarily provide individual therapy for individuals of all ages, but I love to incorporate family therapy sessions when needed focusing on supporting my client and their loved ones.

I’m a New York–licensed therapist providing telehealth therapy to adults across New York State. I help people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or emotionally exhausted — especially those who are high-functioning on the outside but struggling internally. Therapy can be a space where you finally slow down, feel understood, and begin to make meaningful changes. Many of the people I work with are professionals, caregivers, and parents who are used to putting others first.

As a clinician, my favorite quote is "shame dies when stories are told in safe places" (-Anna Voskamp), and this is what guides my practice. Maybe you often find yourself thinking that “there must be something wrong with me”, that nobody understands, or maybe you feel weighed down by guilt, shame or self-doubt. Often, the clients I work with express frustration over feeling "stuck" or unable to make changes, despite their best efforts. In the therapeutic space, these are not viewed as failures, but responses that make sense when viewed through the lens of trauma, access to resources, and broader cultural messages and expectations.

Are you anxious, stuck, or flat even when life looks “fine”? Do you repeat the same relationship pattern, overextend yourself, or feel strangely disconnected at work? In our work, we slow things down and pay close attention to these patterns—how they show up, repeat, and shape your choices. The aim is not surface-level relief, but change that actually makes sense to you, from the inside out.
