Therapists in Kenmore, NY

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Looking for a therapist is awkward. You already decided to call a professional, and yet the process feels impersonal and stressful. Maybe anxiety flares when you try to dial the phone, or your depression convinces you it’s not worth the effort. Then the "what if’s" show-up. What if they judge me? What if I fall apart and can’t put myself back together? What if this doesn't help? These are valid concerns and finding a therapist who you connect with might seem impossible. Feeling comfortable, safe, and connected to a therapist is not only your right, it's good treatment and my first priority.

Are you living the life you want to live? No matter who you are or where you come from, life is challenging. We all deal with a variety of stressors regularly. From relationships to finances to self care, life is filled with many experiences that sometimes lead to feeling overwhelmed and under productive. On top of everyday stressors, many of us deal with anxiety, depression and the ongoing impact of traumas we’ve endured.

In 1977 I earned my Ph.D. in psychology from Indiana university, located in Bloomington Indiana. In addition, I am a licensed psychologist in New York state. I have been practicing for over 45 years treating children, adolescents and adults.

Hello! A little about me; I live in the beautiful Finger Lakes. I have been practicing for 18 years. I graduated from University of Buffalo in 2005. I believe in continuing education to increase skills. I have worked in hospitals; both inpatient and outpatient, schools and group homes. Prior to being a therapist, I was a case manager. I am excited about focusing solely on my private practice at this time. I look forward to working with many diverse individuals. I am also licensed in New Jersey to help meet the needs of individuals living and working in both states.

Reaching out is often the toughest step and it is very important (and can be rewarding) to find the right fit! Each individual has their own unique story and experiences and therefore deserving of an individualized approach to therapy. The therapeutic relationship should foster one's personal journey to self exploration and growth. My goal is to help you find your best fit and support you in your personal growth, healing, and self-empowering journey. My approach is often described as supportive, warm, empowering, challenging (when you need it), and humorous.
