For the past 8 years, it has been my privilege to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds to treat anxiety, depression, trauma & general life stress. I take an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical-behavioral therapy (DBT) skills, and psychodynamic therapy, with an emphasis on self-compassion & mindfulness.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and trauma-related conditions. My approach is patient-centered and collaborative, creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience working with adults from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. I aim to create a space where clients feel understood, respected, and free from judgment. I work collaboratively and believe therapy should meet you where you are. My goal is to support you in gaining clarity and confidence as you navigate what brought you to therapy.

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that therapy works best when it feels like a partnership—not a one-sided process. I approach each session as a space where we work together to better understand your experiences, patterns, and goals.

I have been a social worker practicing psychotherapy for 25 years. I have enjoyed working with a variety of people with many different experiences, both in clinic settings and in private practice. For the past 10 years I have been the director of an outpatient substance abuse treatment clinic. I enjoy helping people work through past trauma and find a way forward.

I’m someone who believes that insight, self-compassion, and nervous system awareness are powerful tools for change and healing. I have experience working with adults navigating the impact of trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders like depression and bipolar disorder. I help clients uncover unconscious patterns that may be keeping them stuck and work to help them build more choice, connection, and inner calm. I bring warmth, patience, and curiosity to our work together, and I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs and goals. You don’t need to have it all figured out before starting—just a willingness to explore.

I've lived in Buffalo my entire life and have attended small colleges here and still love to call Buffalo home. I know how hard it can be to reach out for help, but therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating—it can be a space where you feel more at home in yourself.
