Biography
As an LMHC, I like to focus on helping those with anxiety, depression, relationship/employment concerns, and overall transitions of life (school/work/medical issues/moving stressors, etc.), which may hinder daily life. Treatment is tailored to the individual client in order to choose the treatment plan that fits that individual's personal struggles. I use a mix of different approaches typically found in Solution Focused Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Whether the goal is talk therapy or problem solving, I am more than happy to explore your goals with you.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State with extensive experience working in the mental health field. I attended undergraduate school in Amherst, NY and graduate school in Buffalo, NY, completing internship programs during my time at both schools. I continue to obtain knowledge through regular trainings and certifications that interest me, including EMDR. I have been working in mental and behavioral health for approximately 10 years, continuing after being fully licensed, which required 3,000 hours of supervised experience. I have worked directly with many different kinds of clients who have experienced an array of mental health concerns at all levels. I also have experience working with comorbid disorders that can at times go hand-in-hand, such as anxiety and depression, or homelessness and substance use.
