Hello fellow seeker of knowledge! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counsellor (LMHC) based in Western New York and serving NY state and Maine. I received my Masters from Canisius College and have been serving people in as a counselor for 8 years. I help anxious and lost adults reduce the impact of their anxiety on their life, learn to focus on what they want to focus on, and develop strategies to live more freely and with more certainty.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions and I will give a brief summary of my process with therapy before delving down into the specific challenges you want to overcome. This will help me create an individual plan for us to enact in subsequent sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe that my years spent helping anxious people untangle their constant thoughts, ever-deepening knowledge pool of tools and research in my chosen career, and my own journey towards mindful and healthy practices will be your asset in guiding you through your current and future challenges.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Together we can learn to accept the thoughts and feelings that we cannot control and commit to actions that are consistent with our values.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Together we can evaluate the reality of our thoughts that plague our minds and encourage more realistic and helpful thoughts to focus on instead.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Through developing and honing our control over our focus, we can choose to direct our active attention towards more helpful thoughts and the present moment instead of being plagued by distracting negative or unhelpful thoughts and feelings.
