Therapist

My approach blends psychodynamic therapy — exploring how our past shapes who we are — with cognitive behavioral techniques that help you shift patterns and take back control of your thoughts and choices. I meet clients where they are, offering a space of respect, understanding, and real conversation.

If you’re ready to start doing the work — to heal, to grow, and to reclaim your power — I’d be honored to walk beside you.

No single approach fits all clients; I tailor my approach to each client, making it relevant to the specific problem they are facing. The best way to understand your current issues is to examine how your past influences who you are today. I also emphasize understanding your emotions and past patterns to ensure a better understanding of yourself. I strive to provide a gentle and warm experience, ensuring you are comfortable within the therapy setting and process these hard feelings through a genuine relationship. I also ensure that you understand the process of our work together so you can feel informed and empowered.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Buffalo, NY

Finding couples therapists in Buffalo starts with knowing what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy and marriage counseling can support communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, parenting disagreements, and major life transitions. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so it can help to look for a licensed marriage and family therapist or a therapist who lists couples-focused approaches, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, in their bio.

In a mid-size city like Buffalo, the right fit often comes down to both clinical match and logistics. Some couples prefer an in-person office near home, work, or a familiar part of the city, while others use virtual appointments to make scheduling easier for two people. As you compare Buffalo couples counseling options, look at appointment availability, whether each therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a brief consultation. Reading profiles can also show how a therapist structures sessions and works with both partners.

Couples therapy in Buffalo can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who provide couples therapy, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and list available times, so you can review bios, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
