I currently specialize within the areas of mood disorders, trauma, women’s issues, stress and anger management, building healthy relationships and self-esteem. When it comes to tackling one’s goals within the therapeutic setting, there can be a variety of approaches- one size does not fit all. I believe in an individualized approach, meaning I tailor my approach to each person based on their needs. I am a firm believer in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness. Additionally, I utilize Motivational Interviewing, Schema Therapy, and creative approaches with art and music. Above all else, I aim to provide a non-judgmental and laid-back environment in order to create a safe environment for one to be their authentic self.

I received my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Canisius College (Go Griffs!). Since then, I have practiced counseling in various mental health agencies and private practices in the WNY area. I have experience working with an array of issues from Severe Persistent Mental Health Illnesses (SPMIs), LGBTQ+ issues, substance abuse and addiction, and trauma.
