For over two decades, I've had personal encounters with mental health issues, addiction, and unhealthy relationships. My decision to become a therapist was influenced by the significant help I received from my own therapists. My professional experience in behavioral health spans over a decade, during which I've worked in various settings including group homes for individuals with severe mental illnesses and addictions, college health centers, a local VA medical center, and outpatient mental health and chemical dependency clinics. I've made contributions to the field through published research and have been recognized with awards for my service. Currently, I'm an active member of several advocacy and mental health boards and committees at both local and state levels. I regularly deliver presentations on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In 2022, I took a step further by co-founding a local affiliate of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science in Western New York.

Throughout my professional journey, I've extended my support to mechanics grappling with chronic pain and depression, nurses battling addiction, students overwhelmed by academic pressure, veterans haunted by sleepless nights, and human beings striving to establish connections within their relationships and themselves.

I see you. I listen to you. I stand with you.
