Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Orchard Park, NY
Life is full of challenges, change, and daily pressures that can make it hard to cope. When early childhood and family experiences intersect with present-day demands and the complexity of an increasingly uncertain world, you may begin to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or even helpless. Perhaps you’re struggling with perfectionism or low self-worth, or find yourself questioning your direction, your relationships, or the meaning of it all. Whether you’re navigating everyday difficulties, working through the impact of trauma, or facing uncertainty about the future, I’m here to support you.

I am effective in using CBT for general mental health, and CPT for trauma and PTSD, and have helped people with OCD through CBT and exposure therapy.
Dear Future Client: I want you to know that I will provide a safe space to share, empathic understanding so you are truly heard, and evidenced based tools that are effective so you can grow, heal, reach your goals. I also bring with me 14 years of cross-cultural living, which has tuned me into hearing the messages behind the words. If you are a teen or adult, I'm interested in working with you! If you are battling with trauma, if you are struggling with anxiety and depression, if emotions are bigger than you can manage, if you are wanting a place to be heard, without judgment, I'm interested in being that place for you.

“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” (Carl Rodgers) We can’t change what we do not explore and the first step in the direction of that journey is always the hardest. But you are here already taking that step, looking for someone to assist with the change that you seek. Everyday life can be in the way of focusing on healing from our past, management of stress/mental health issues and making changes for our future. Setting aside time for yourself is important! You are important!

We are all given challenges in our lives but sometimes those challenges require us to reach out for help. Are you finding it hard to cope with emotions? Anxious? Sad? Difficulty adjusting to life changes? Or maybe your teen has been experiencing changes to mood or struggles with relationships? You’ve decided to reach out for help and that’s a courageous first step. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and “It just didn’t help.”

If you feel stuck in survival mode, constantly anxious, overwhelmed, or triggered, I help adults heal trauma and anxiety so they can feel grounded and in control again. Many of my clients describe themselves as “put together” on the outside while privately battling self-doubt, overthinking, people-pleasing, or emotional exhaustion. You might feel like you’re always bracing for something, struggling to stay present, or carrying tension that never fully loosens. These patterns make sense when your body has learned to survive more than it has learned to feel safe. Here you can understand your patterns and work toward real relief.
