Therapist

Almost everyone experiences some level of depression or anxiety during their lifetime. Sometimes these conditions prompt us to get care. They inspire us to work collaboratively with someone so that we can

navigate difficult times. Psychotherapy can help us make decisions, process relationships, endure

emotional pain and make real growth. I specialize in working collaboratively with adults who

experience depression and anxiety or are looking to work through stuck points in their lives.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person

897 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, NY

If there is one common human emotion, it is a feeling that we are doing the best we can, with the options we see as available to us. We like to feel we always make our best decisions.


Throughout my career, I have had the honor of working with people at all levels of life. Many who are seeking change, and some who have been forced to talk with a therapist. All of whom are, on some level, scared of the change they are seeking.

Whatever brings you here, I offer warmth and compassion.
