* I am not accepting new clients at this time * Are you are a young woman struggling with daily anxiety? As a result you’re having problems in your relationships, work/school, or even daily tasks? If the stress you’re carrying is taking away today’s peace, you may benefit from learning specific tools to better manage each day. I treat woman dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-worth, life changes/stressors and relationship problems.

We are all resilient people that are amazing at adapting and changing with our environments. When those places are unstable, unsafe or inconsistent, we figure out ways to survive. These patterns or beliefs can soothe us, keep us in control or help us to express ourselves. However for many of us, they can also become a burden and themselves a source of suffering. A complicated mix of discomfort as well as serving a meaningful function. No wonder it’s so hard to make changes, even when we have every good reason to. Taking on these patterns may seem overwhelming, however we can begin anywhere and set goals that makes sense for you.

Asking for help takes a tremendous amount of courage. I am currently offering online and in-person sessions. I work to provide a warm environment to put clients at ease during this process. While some people struggle with long-standing challenges, others are overwhelmed with current stressors and need to get back on track or find new paths. I work holistically to help clients find balance in their lives and draw from a number of treatment approaches. Treatment is tailor-made to help you find solutions that meet your individual needs using a strength-based model.

I believe that trauma and adversity effect and change the mind, the body and the spirit, and too often therapy neglects to look deeply enough at all three of these areas. I provide therapy with a holistic approach. We will look at all aspects of your life both past and present and use practical, proven effective treatment. I also believe critical to treatment is feeling accepted and cared for by your provider. Please call Sanctuary Counseling at 716-291-0059 and speak with our administrative assistant to make an appointment.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been providing therapy to various client populations in several different settings for over 14 years. I have assisted clients in overcoming many obstacles and issues, including mental health problems like anxiety, depression, and trauma; substance abuse and chemical dependency; domestic violence; as well as relationship problems. I work with individuals and couples. My approach is person-centered/client-directed; strengths-based; outcome-informed, feedback-informed, and trauma-informed; as well as solution-focused. I am continuing professional development through training.

I am a firm believer that our mental and emotional health are just as important as our physical health and wellness. More often than not, we put ourselves on the back burner, taking care of others needs and then ignoring our own. In the world we live in, it’s also easy to push our emotions to the side and tell ourselves we "shouldn't" feel this way. Living well doesn't have to mean sacrificing your needs for others, it might just mean, we chose to intentionally put our energy into things that fill us up and allow us to feel more centered.

All of us reach points in our lives when we feel overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck. It is easy sometimes to feel discouraged and alone. In those moments, we may lose our ability to feel joy, to see our strengths, to feel connection, and live to our full potential. This is when counseling can provide the safety and support we all need to confront our personal challenges and rediscover the beauty and resilience of our own hearts.

My clients come to me for a number of reasons, but one common theme throughout is a need for self-care and self-love. My job is to facilitate self-care and coping in a way that brings a client contentment and joy. I want clients to look forward to their sessions with me as a time to attend to their own emotional needs, learn, grow, and develop. They want a safe space with unconditional support to work through and - importantly - find feasible solutions to their unique problems. I am known for my blend of personalized, positive/strengths-based, creative, and feasible cognitive behavior therapies. (Check out my photos!)

If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. I counsel adults and couples, to address a variety of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship problems. My principle goal is to help you find solutions for living well! I am trained in a variety of therapeutic techniques and use an individualized approach to ensure each person is getting the approach that is right for him, her, or them.

Life can be challenging and it can sometimes feel that overcoming the obstacles around us are nearly impossible. Beginning counseling can be an incredibly hard and a challenging experience, but it can also be rewarding. Sometimes it can be challenging to reach out and ask for help. By starting your search for a therapist, you are choosing to face the challenges and search for answers and support with your mental health. I primarily provide individual therapy for individuals of all ages, but I love to incorporate family therapy sessions when needed focusing on supporting my client and their loved ones.

Do you find it difficult to control your worry and anxiety or do you find that you are worried all the time? Do you experience thoughts that you find are difficult to control? Are you often overwhelmed by intense emotions and feel like you’re on a roller coaster? Do you find yourself feeling depressed and having a hard time enjoying the things that you once enjoyed? You are not alone and therapy can help.

What are you looking for in therapy? Maybe you just need a little help getting through your day. Maybe you need a little extra support, someone in your corner to listen to you and help you untangle the thoughts in your head. Maybe you feel like you're going down the spiral, and nothing seems to bring you back. Let's talk about it. Let's work together to help you live the life you want, to find peace.

Have you faced painful experiences that are impacting your daily life? I believe that past experiences can cause "sore spots" that can impact us in the present. I have helped countless individuals work through past experiences for healing and personal growth. I have extensive training on techniques to help my clients on this journey including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I am amazed every day by the way this treatment has helped my clients transform their lives.

Perhaps you’ve noticed feeling more anxious or depressed lately, but aren’t sure why, or what you can do to feel like yourself again. Perhaps you’re struggling with relationship tensions, feeling stagnant at work or find yourself just more generally in a rut. You may be feeling well overall but want to get a grasp on certain issues in your life. Now might be the right time to break free of those patterns and explore other ways of thinking, feeling and being in the world.

Do you long to experience change in your life? Maybe you're feeling defeated in life, seeking freedom from a shaming voice inside, longing for greater connection in relationships, or facing a significant transition or loss. Whatever you're experiencing, I believe there is no cookie cutter approach to addressing the complex problems of life. I view psychotherapy as a coming alongside journey that creates an open, safe space where you as a whole person and the particulars of your story (including those places where you feel most stuck) can be explored, understood, and worked through to cultivate hope and transformation.

My hope is to provide a safe and inclusive space for individuals choosing to make positive changes in their lives. I believe that growth occurs through understanding how one’s past circumstances can impact their present functioning.
