I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) providing psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and adults in Western New York, with virtual therapy available throughout New York State. My practice supports individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, ADHD, autism spectrum, and identity-related stress. I work with clients who may feel overwhelmed internally despite appearing to function well externally, including those experiencing sensory stress, burnout, or difficulty with emotional regulation.

My clinical specialties include trauma-informed therapy, EMDR therapy, and child-led play therapy. EMDR is an evidence-based treatment that helps the brain reprocess distressing experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming. For children, play therapy provides a developmentally responsive way to express emotions and process experiences through play, which is a child’s natural language. These approaches allow therapy to be tailored to each client’s developmental needs and nervous system.

I take a neurodiversity-affirming and strengths-based approach when working with autistic individuals and those with ADHD. Rather than focusing on masking or forcing conformity, therapy may support emotional regulation, sensory awareness, executive functioning, self-advocacy, and reducing shame related to social differences. I also provide an inclusive and respectful space for transgender, nonbinary, and LGBTQIA+ clients.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based care. I aim to create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, strengthen regulation skills, and build meaningful and sustainable change at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

I provide in-person therapy in North Tonawanda, New York, and telehealth services for clients located anywhere in New York State.
