Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Buffalo, NY

I work with individuals and groups to transform self-understanding into happier, more productive living. My practice is dedicated to helping clients navigate and heal from chronic stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, complex trauma, and significant life transitions.

My unique offering combines the depth of psychotherapy to uncover underlying emotional and behavioral patterns with the strategic focus of coaching to accelerate goal achievement. This dual approach helps you identify the barriers that prevent success and develop practical, sustainable strategies to overcome them.

My background spans from working in psychiatric hospital settings to guiding high-functioning clients in private practice. I am committed to advancing professional education, having presented at leading universities like Columbia University, NYU, and Brooklyn College, and conducting specialized trauma and wellness workshops for professionals.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner with extensive experience leading and providing care in community-based mental health programs. I’ve spent many years working with adults and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, work and family stress, and major life transitions.

As both a clinician and a leader, I value creating spaces where people feel seen, respected, and understood, especially those who may have felt overlooked in other systems. I’m particularly passionate about supporting women, professionals in helping roles, caregivers, and people of color who are balancing many responsibilities.

Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and straightforward. I’ll bring clinical expertise, honesty, and compassion to our work together so you don’t have to go through this season of your life alone.

Therapy is a wonderful opportunity to gain a deeper sense of fulfillment in your life. Whether you’re new to therapy or have tried many different types of treatment, I’m here to help you. I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor, specializing in addiction, anxiety, depression, stress management, life transitions and other behavioral health concerns. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges.

I’m a licensed psychologist with extensive experience helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia, trauma, PTSD, life transitions, and other emotional challenges. Over the course of my career, I’ve worked in a variety of settings, including private practice, military facilities, and the VA. These experiences have given me the opportunity to work with people from many different backgrounds and walks of life.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative process. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable being yourself, exploring what’s holding you back, and building on your strengths. Together, we’ll work to better understand your experiences, develop practical tools for coping, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I am a clinical social worker with specialties working with pregnant and parenting folks as well as young children and their families, with a special interest in trauma-informed, neurodiverse-affirming practice.

I understand welcoming a new baby to the family comes with a host of challenges and changes: from hormonal shifts and changes in our brains and bodies to changes in employment, lifestyle, relationships, and reflecting on our own experiences of being parented. I am highly experienced in working with pregnant, birthing, postpartum, and parenting folks with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders—or just struggling with the changes in demands, identity, and daily structure

In addition to being a LMHC in the state of NY, I'm also just a human gal navigating life alongside 2 doodles and a cat; creating and interacting with nature plays an important role in my life, but before you think I'm just a calm collected artist haunting the woods mysteriously, I'm also known for sitting on a comfy chair for way too long, re-watching the same shows from the early 2000s, and collecting copious amounts of craft and art supplies that I swear I will use someday.

I work with BIPOC adult professionals who often feel overwhelmed by ADHD, anxiety, trauma, and burnout. Many of my clients are navigating competing responsibilities while managing stress, relational conflicts, and the complexities of trauma. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish to create a supportive space for diverse backgrounds. My focus is on helping you build practical, sustainable strategies for lasting change.
