One step at a time.
*I am not currently accepting new patients due to upcoming Maternity leave at the end of August 2025-November 2025.
If you are interested in starting with me after I return please indicate this in your outreach to me. Thank you!
What you're going through and what has happened to you does not have to define you. Whether you are experiencing new or continuous mental health symptoms, are struggling with a difficult or traumatic situation, or are in need of some additional support and tools to better manage life stress; therapy is for you. The first step is reaching out for help, and I am so glad you are here.
The relationship you have with a therapist is crucial throughout the healing process and is extremely important to me and the work that I do with my clients. My approach is trauma-informed and patient-centered as I believe you are the expert on your own life. I am trained in EMDR and specialize in trauma therapy and perinatal mental health. I enjoy working with women, adults and young adults on managing mental health, life transitions, and improving relationships with themselves and others. I am passionate about helping people develop insight and awareness, as well as exploring how to break through negative patterns in order to live a more fulfilling and happier life.
Through compassion and understanding, I will listen to your story of how you became the unique person you are today and support you in processing these experiences and emotions. We will work collaboratively to identify your values and goals, and I will provide reflection, validation and other tools to help you develop insight and skills needed to make positive changes in the way you think and respond to situations.
I will laugh along with you during the good times and walk beside you through the tough times. I am now accepting clients for limited openings in person in North Tonawanda, NY or through telehealth services. I accept private pay and accept the insurances listed below. If you are interested in working with me, please send a message or contact me to set up an initial consultation appointment. I look forward to hearing from you!
