Hello! I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), and I am committed to helping you feel supported and understood from day one through your life's challenges with compassion and care. My training and clinical experience have equipped me to work with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel respected and heard. My goal is to help you build insight, resilience, and practical tools for lasting emotional well-being.
I have a wide variety of experiences that I can draw upon to help you. I really enjoy helping clients become the best version of themselves! I can work with any and all issues that you might be experiencing.
I am nonjudgmental and open-minded
I approach the conversations without preconceived notions or judgements
I encourage openness and honesty
Let the clients know that they can speak freely and their honesty is appreciated and important
I cannot move mountains for you, but I can help you climb. Facing fears, healing from loss, finding meaning and joy - these are the inevitable tasks of life. Therapy may be your first step or your last resort. Often people avoid it all together because they believe their pain is too great, worry they will be judged or that their situation is too complicated. Some people believe they should solve problems on their own or only with family and friends. However, while family and friends may want the best for us, they often come with opinions or past hurts. Sometimes it helps to have a safe space outside your daily experience.
I am a board- certified psychiatric nurse practitioner committed to compassionate, ethical, and individualized mental health care.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with advanced training in contemporary psychodynamic/psychoanalytic approaches. I work with diverse populations, including people struggling with behavioral, emotional and/or relational difficulties resulting from varying degrees of early conflict or trauma. I also work with adults dedicated to making meaningful discoveries about themselves that enhance wellness, self-appreciation, and self-confidence. I have a deep regard for all of a person's experiences as I believe them to be be impactful and meaningful. Truly recognizing and understanding how a person is impacted by their experiences whether internal, external, spoken or unspoken of can lead to valued self-development.

Find the right addiction counselor for you
Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Buffalo
Finding the right addiction therapist in Buffalo starts with identifying the type of support you need. Addiction and substance use can look different for everyone — some people are managing alcohol use, others are navigating opioid dependence, and many are dealing with co-occurring conditions like anxiety or depression alongside substance use. A licensed provider with experience in addiction counseling can help you understand your options and work toward the changes that matter to you.
When comparing providers, look for credentials and specialties that match your situation. Licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), and psychologists in the Buffalo area may hold additional certifications in addiction counseling, such as a CASAC (Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor) designation. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach — whether they use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), or other evidence-based methods — and help you decide if they feel like a good match.
Addiction counseling in Buffalo can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. 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, making it easier to find a provider who specializes in addiction and accepts your coverage.
