I grew up in Western New York, attending SUNY UB‘s school of Social Work where I obtained my masters. I worked at the Department of Social Services for four years in a variety of roles, including training foster parents. Since then I've been in emergency psychiatric services and outpatient counseling.
I'm a laid back therapist. My clients are more likely to laugh than cry, but we explore the depth and breadth of the human experience.
There is no judgement in my "office". WE will find a way forward together. You are the driver, I'll help navigate👍.
In our first session we will get acquainted, explore your history, and look for some concrete skills or interventions that you can take with you.
I always remind my clients that lasting change (to thoughts, habits, dynamics) takes time to develop. Your problems weren't created in 1 day and they won't go away on 1 day... but they will be overcome!
