Change can be a wonderful thing, but it can also be confusing, challenging, and fraught with complex emotions.

Are you ready to move forward; away from the complications of the past toward a bright new future?

Let me help.  In our work together with our convenient and secure telehealth platform,  we will explore the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that keep you from living your best life.  Together we will work to make changes to help you reach the goals that will make your future bright.

I know taking these steps can be scary at times.  It will take time and patience, but I believe by working together we can make progress towards achieving a peaceful, safe and healthy life. 

Throughout my career I have had many opportunities to build experience and expertise in a number of clinical areas.  I began my career in Syracuse, NY where I graduated with Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work from Syracuse University.  It was there that I began my work as a practitioner of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), first as a clinician based in the Syracuse City School District, then as an outpatient provider working with individuals from a variety of backgrounds as they dealt with the challenges that come from aging and navigating the complexities of daily life. 

Several years ago, I relocated to Central Massachusetts where I worked in community based mental health services, was trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and most recently in the primary care setting.  In my work in primary care I was able to work with people dealing with the mental health effects of complex medical conditions and helping people to decrease barriers to maintaining their optimal mental and physical health and wellness.

In the wake of the changes we all have faced in the past couple of years I made the decision to move back to my hometown area in Western New York State to be closer to my family and pursue the opportunity of starting my own practice. 

It is here at Lakeview Wellness Counseling that I am drawing from all of my different experiences to help people navigate the many challenges we all face from time to time. 

Whether you are dealing with relationship stress, work anxiety, managing physical health challenges, grieving, just feel stuck or any of the many other situations life can throw at us; I am confident that I have the skills to help you find your path toward wellness.  

It all starts with reaching out.  Please contact me to set up a free phone consultation today.
