Amherst, NY 14226
I am a 12 year military veteran and an ordained pastor.
HIPAA compliant video sessions available. The problem with daily life is that it is so daily. Sometimes life feels like a grind. Sometimes we lack direction. Sometimes life is just plain painful. You may be experiencing depression, relationship struggles, divorce, separation, infidelity, anger, anxiety, grief and loss, or addiction. Wherever you are, that is the starting line for the rest of your life. That does not mean the rest of your life has to be more of the same. How about a new direction...a new perspective? I may be able to help. The first step is yours. I look forward to your call.

Having difficulty navigating life? Finding it troublesome to find peace at home? at work? with getting proper care? Working with Veterans of the US Armed Forces, their families and those reintegrating into society is where I dedicate a great deal of my time and study. I interface well with those who have experienced episodic or chronic exposure to trauma or who feel they need to "start a new life" or gain "a fresh start". Together, we can focus on resiliency and perseverance.

East Aurora, NY 14052
For the past 8 years I have been practicing counseling in a variety of settings including large agencies, military bases, and private practice.
I understand why there has been a recent rise in anxiety and depressive symptoms for many people of all ages. Major events and unexpected life changes can cause a significant amount of stress and anxiety. Stress can make us feel out of control and overwhelmed physically, mentally and emotionally. Things from our past can start to impact us more in our present. Relationships can seem more challenging and trusting ourselves almost impossible. Every person is different and when you take a closer look at every aspect of your life with help from an objective support it can help you see things more clearly and offer ways to cope.

I have a heart for our returning veterans and their families.
For clients who desire clinically proven, rapid results, limited appointments and medication-free mental health treatment of habits, disorders, behaviors or trauma, hypnotherapy is the ideal therapy. Clients and doctors seek my expertise for prompt elimination or reduction of debilitating emotional / mental trauma, PTSD symptoms, stress, weight loss, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, fears and phobias, habits like smoking, gambling, shopping, alcoholism and anger. The list of issues immediately resolved with hypnotherapy is far longer. Please call or email to ask for specific information. If the root of an issue is within the subconscious mind, I can help immediately.

I have worked with the average adult, with combat veterans, with students figuring out their future, and retirees seeking fulfilling lives.
Life can become challenging, with or without a mental disorder. Regardless of the severity of your struggle, having professional support can be essential. I believe that the best way to get through the difficulties of life require selfempowerment. You may need an objective person with whom to process the curveballs life has thrown at you. You may need guidance and life skills (relaxation, coping, etc) to better handle overwhelming challenges. You may need directed professional care to help with symptoms associated with mental disorders. My job is to help get you back on the path to the life you want.

Everyone is looking for a safe place to be themselves. As I engage with Christians and people of color I often hear, “there’s no safe place for me get help with a counselor who is like me.” This is a lonely place to be, needing help, but feeling left out. My passion is helping the ostracized find a safe place to heal and restore. Three words describing my therapeutic style: warm, compassionate, & direct. My approach is an integration of mental health tools and Christian-based principles. I believe every person has value, worth, dignity, and purpose and I seek to help you to see that about yourself.

I believe that our life and cultural experiences, especially our earliest ones, are fundamental in shaping the way we view ourselves and others. It is essential to understand my patient's cultural identity (i.e., race, gender, gender identity, sexuality, class) and how it has shaped their development. Often negative life experiences can create problematic ways of coping and a skewed perception of who we are in the world. This can lead to a variety of issues related to anxiety, depression, shame, rejection, stress, relationship issues, identity development, grief/loss, and sexual intimacy.

Accepting new clients for daytime appointments only. From the outside it looks like things are going well, but you know that isn’t the whole story. Inside you're struggling with worry and feelings of unease and insecurity. Maybe you feel sad or on edge, and can’t focus on the things you love. Perhaps it feels like the world is caving in on you as others look on. These are just a few symptoms that are familiar to clients who seek therapy with me. Although I enjoy working with a diverse range of clients, I specialize in working with young adults who struggle with traumatic memories, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and low self-esteem.

There are times when life seems overwhelming or painful. Everything is confusing and frustrating and it feels like you’ll never be at peace. Anxiety, depression, anger and self-doubt give way to issues in relationships, inability to fulfill responsibilities at work or home, and turning to unhealthy coping behaviors. Since you’re reading this, you want out of this endless cycle and to live differently. Maybe you want to be able to build healthier relationships with those around you. Do you want to be a different partner, parent or friend? Or perhaps the relationship you most want to nurture and explore is with yourself.
