Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Buffalo, NY

My path into mental health has been shaped by a genuine commitment to helping others navigate life's challenges. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I have experience working with diverse populations across various settings, supporting individuals through periods of emotional distress, major life transitions, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, trauma, interpersonal challenges, etc.

I’m a person in long-term recovery, which means I’ve been substance-free since July 13th, 2016. My experiences with depression, anxiety, and self-medicating eventually became a substance use disorder—and ultimately led me to a deeper purpose in the counseling field. I understand the weight of isolation, low self-worth, and the struggle to feel “okay.” If you’re dealing with anxiety, self-image issues, substance use, relationship challenges, or overwhelming stress, I offer not just professional tools—but personal understanding. I can help you feel less alone.
