Find a therapist in Lockport, NY — covered by insurance

Hi there! I have worked with Adolescents and families as well as with the queer community for 5 years.

I’m glad you’re here! It’s a brave step to reach out. It is my hope that you feel welcomed by me, no matter where you may be in your life. It may feel scary or intimidating to begin therapy. My top priority is making it a comfortable, trusting, and safe experience for you. I treat overwhelmed and overburdened mothers, women of all ages, and young adults.

I have always been interested in what makes each of us who we are and how we relate to others. Throughout my training to become a clinical psychologist, I trained in many different settings including university counseling centers, hospitals, community mental health centers and private practices. I ultimately chose to open my own practice so that I could have the freedom to meet each client's specific needs. I am so grateful for the ability to walk alongside each of my clients as they navigate the challenges and joys of life.

I believe therapy should be both a safe place to land and a space that inspires meaningful change. As an art and talk therapist, I offer a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, emotions, and patterns with honesty and curiosity.

I integrate creative expression with traditional psychotherapy, recognizing that sometimes words alone are not enough. Through art-making, reflection, and conversation, I help clients deepen their self-understanding, process difficult experiences, and connect with strengths they may not yet fully recognize.

Whether you're facing a crisis, struggling with the lasting effects of trauma, or are feeling stuck in patterns that are holding you back, you don't have to go through it alone. Our work begins wherever you're at. I have extensive experience treating children, adolescents and adults with a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, chronic illness, behavioral challenges, ADHD,relationship issues, and challenges adjusting to life changes. We’ll explore your emotional patterns, relationships, and the ways you respond to difficult thoughts and feelings—so you can build flexibility, resilience, and lasting change.

I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the first step toward therapy isn’t always easy, and I believe everyone deserves a safe, supportive place to explore life’s challenges without judgment.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Social Welfare from Stony Brook University and my Master of Social Work from Adelphi University. For the past four and a half years, I’ve worked with teens, adolescents, and adults facing a variety of life’s challenges. I strive to create a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to achieve their goals.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply looking to better understand yourself, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) with over 20 years of experience supporting adults through difficult moments and life changes. I earned my MSW from NYU and have worked extensively in hospital and emergency mental health settings, helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and complex life challenges. I believe therapy should feel supportive, honest, and grounded in real life. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly.

I support teens, adults, and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves or each other. My clients are thoughtful, resilient people seeking a gentle, grounded space where they can feel seen, supported, and safe enough to reconnect with who they truly are—and with the relationships that matter most. People come to me when life feels heavy, when past experiences linger, anxiety builds, or connection feels harder to access, and they’re ready for compassionate support that helps them move forward with more clarity and ease.

As a License Clinical Social Worker, I am dedicated to helping adults navigate emotional issues, life challenges, anxiety and more. I bring compassionate client-centered approach, to provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel comfortable to share their story and be heard in an effort to help them build resilience and allow them to take the risk to invest in their ability to grow and make changes that lead to a more positive sense of self.

I'm a licensed mental health clinician with over two decades of experience in the field. Throughout my career, I've seen firsthand that clinical expertise alone isn't what creates real change — it's the combination of evidence-based care and genuine compassion that moves the needle. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depression, and I approach every client as an individual whose needs, history, and goals shape the way we work together. My commitment is to provide care that is both rigorous and deeply human.
