Find a therapist in Orchard Park, NY — covered by insurance

I came to therapy from teaching, and that background shapes how I show up: I'm used to adapting to who's in front of me, reading what's unsaid, and finding an approach that actually fits the person — not just the presenting concern.

I work with adolescents and adults on trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, maternal mental health, grief, and family stress. EMDR is a core part of my practice — particularly for clients whose past experiences still affect how they feel and function today, even when they'd rather they didn't.

I keep a small, intentional caseload. If you'd like to see if we're a good fit, I offer a free phone consultation before we commit to anything.

I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of experience working in the field. I am passionate about what I do and feel very fortunate to have worked with a very diverse and inspiring group of individuals, families and community providers in my time in the field. I also love hiking, biking and spending as much time as I can with my family.

Everyone has a story. Mine starts here in Upstate New York, where I was born and raised. It was here that I became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). My work on the frontlines of mental health care has given me insight into the challenges individuals face and the systemic changes needed to improve outcomes — both of which inform my practice!

​

​Beyond my professional life, I’m also a proud dog mom to my seven-year-old Morkie, Jax. When I'm not working, you might find me with a warm cup of chai, and a book in hand.​ Also, I love learning. I recently completed my second master's degree: my MBA through SUNY Oswego, with a focus in healthcare administration.

​

Most importantly, I thoroughly enjoy the work I do with my clients- supporting others on their unique journeys.

As I mentioned before, everyone has a story.

I look forward to hearing yours.

Does your child or adolescent’s behavior leave you wondering, “What is going on?”Are they having meltdowns, withdrawing, struggling at school, worrying, or feeling sad? Children and adolescents often communicate their feelings through behavior long before they have the words to explain what they are experiencing.I work with children, adolescents, and families navigating challenges such as adoption, divorce, co-parenting, blended-family transitions, grief and loss, school-related worries, family conflict, and the growing push for independence. I help children and caregivers better understand what may be underneath the behavior while strengthening connection, communication, and emotional regulation. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor (RPT-S). I received my Doctorate in Clinical Social Work (DSW) and Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from New York University, and my Bachelor’s of Science in Social Work (BSW) from Cornell University. With more than two decades of clinical experience across inpatient, outpatient, and residential settings.

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, heard and accepted. My goal is to create a space where you be yourself without fear of judgement. A place where you can explore both the challenges you're facing and the strengths you already possess.
