Specialties

While I can work with a variety of conditions and people, my specialties include:

​

  • Trauma

  • Depression

  • Anxiety, Stress, and Panic Disorders

  • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD, formerly known as ADD)

  • Mood disorders

  • Grief and loss

  • Gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals

  • Transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming individuals

  • Addiction histories

​

While I cannot treat developmental disabilities as primary diagnoses, I have experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities and their families, which can be incorporated into practice.

​

My modalities of choice include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing. I also have experience working with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Schema Therapy.

Services Provided

I like to start the therapeutic relationship with a free 15 minute phone consultation to determine whether we would be a good fit for each other. This is followed by an hour long initial assessment during which I will gather general information about your background, current symptoms, and what you would like to work on. Follow up appointments will be up to an hour long, the frequency of which will be agreed upon by the two of us.

​

At this time, I solely provide individual therapy through in-person and telehealth services. I do not provide group therapy, couples counseling, or prescription medications; I am happy to make outside referrals should you require these services.

​

In the event that I am not immediately available during a mental health crisis, I encourage clients to contact Crisis Services of Erie County at (716) 834-3131 or the National Suicide and Crisis Hotline at 988. In cases of immediate life threatening or medical emergencies, please call 911.

Financial Information

Currently, I am an in-network provider for the following insurance companies:

  • Aetna

  • Cigna/Evernorth

  • Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield of Western New York

  • Independent Health

  • UnitedHealthcare

​

Superbills can be provided upon request for clients to submit to their insurance companies for out of network reimbursement. Check with your insurance company to determine whether you have out of network benefits.

​

Clients who do not have insurance or participate with an insurance I do not accept are welcome to pay out of pocket for services. According to the No Surprises Act, if visits are not being submitted to insurance for reimbursement, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate which will inform you of the cost of services.
