Thanks for visiting!

I graduated from SUNY University at Buffalo School of Social Work. Since graduating, I have worked with clients with various mental health conditions in a long-term and short-term therapy. I have experience working with clients in group & individual settings. As a counselor, I utilize cognitive, behavioral as well as humanistic, existential & Jungian perspectives to serve my clients. Oh, and I am not going to ask you how are you feeling question multiple times in a session.

As a counselor, I utilize cognitive, behavioral as well as humanistic, existential & Jungian perspectives to serve my clients. I believe that humor, laughter, and poetry could be effective therapeutic modalities. Oh, and I am comfortable with silence, as well.

Many believe that changing our external conditions only, will result in living-happily-ever-after. Yet even when our external circumstances change for the better, the inside remains dissatisfied. Soon, we come back to expecting the future to ‘bend’ to our liking by itself. In therapy, I promote taking an active role & engaging with one’s circumstances no matter what they might be rather than spectating life as is & seeking the meaning of it outside of selves. The inside handles the outside.
