A little about me

Have you ever felt "stuck" and that you were not living the life that you want? My focus in therapy is to help you develop skills to cope with life in a way that allows you to live more fully in the present moment and move in the direction of your goals. I can help you address difficulties and develop the solutions that are right for you. I offer eclectic techniques which include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (including Mindfulness), Strength Based therapy, and EMDR for Trauma Therapy. 

I have a Masters in Education and have worked in a school for over 15 years as a Director of Wellness and School Mental Health Counselor. I love working with teens and young adults as I specialize in teen issues, stress, anxiety, depression and eating disorders. Although I spend a lot of time with teens and young adults I do welcome and enjoy working with adults as well.

​

Additionally, I am a certified trauma informed yoga instructor and mindfulness educator.  I am currently an adjunct professor at University of Buffalo Graduate School of Education.

​

My strength is my ability to build positive, ongoing relationship with clients while offering support through life's many challenges. I provide appointments during the afternoons, evenings and weekends. I look forward to meeting you.
