Hi there! I'm Dr. Sean. I help people break out of vicious cycles and build a life they love to live.
I work with individuals from birth to age 30, and their families. My specialty is treating ADHD and other complex issues for which help is often hard to find.
In addition to my doctoral training, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Geisinger in pediatric psychology (2014). I am a licensed psychologist in PA and NY.
I help women reconnect with themselves—especially in the moments when life hasn’t gone according to plan. Many of the women I work with are helpers themselves: therapists, educators, healthcare workers, mothers. They’re navigating overwhelm, grief, perfectionism, relationship struggles, and questions of identity. They’re high-achieving and deeply caring, yet often unsure how to extend the same compassion inward.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Buffalo
Finding the right therapist in Buffalo starts with identifying what you want to work on. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or something else, choosing a licensed provider — such as an LMHC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has experience with your specific concerns can make a meaningful difference. Consider what matters most to you beyond specialty, like whether you prefer in-person sessions in neighborhoods like Elmwood Village or North Buffalo, or the flexibility of virtual visits from home.
Therapy in Buffalo can vary in cost, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans and connects you with providers across Buffalo and surrounding communities like Williamsville, Cheektowaga, and Amherst.
Many providers on Headway also offer a free phone consultation, so you can ask questions and see if it's a good fit before committing to a full session. Detailed provider bios give you a sense of each therapist's style, background, and approach — helping you feel confident in your choice before your first appointment.
