I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, supported, and empowered to understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful change.
I’m a licensed counselor in New York and Massachusetts with a clinical background working with individuals experiencing substance use challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, and complex family dynamics. I earned my degree from the University at Albany, and I’ve worked extensively with children and families in the foster care system, as well as survivors of sexual abuse and assault. I especially enjoy working with young adults navigating anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns, as well as mothers adjusting to motherhood and finding their voice within the family system.
I offer a nonjudgmental, down-to-earth therapeutic space where clients can explore their experiences and better understand how past events shape current thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. My approach is collaborative and supportive, helping motivated clients build self-worth, clarify goals, and create meaningful, sustainable change.
Life doesn’t always unfold the way we expect, and navigating unexpected challenges can feel overwhelming. You don’t have to do it alone. I aim to help clients feel supported, understood, and empowered as they work toward a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. I hope this feels like a space where you could begin that work.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Infidelity counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach designed for couples grappling with the aftermath of one or more partner’s infidelity. It offers a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where both individuals can delve into the underlying reasons behind the breach of trust, openly express their feelings, and collaboratively strive to mend their relationship. The overarching objective of infidelity counseling is to either facilitate a path to reconciliation, should both partners desire it, or guide them through the process of separation or divorce with clarity and empathy.
Infidelity counseling combines various therapeutic techniques, such as individual and couples therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches for changing destructive thought patterns, communication skills training for conflict resolution, Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) to rebuild trust, narrative therapy to reframe relationship narratives, and mindfulness practices for managing intense emotions. These methods work together to foster self-awareness, emotional healing, and the reconstruction of trust, leading to a healthier, more resilient relationship.
Infidelity counseling at Thriveworks Williamsville, NY is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
