I work with adults in the areas of anxiety, depression, anger, shame, work difficulties, relationship issues and stress management.
I am a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist with the highest level of credentialing and 20+ years experience using IFS as my primary methodology. IFS is an evidence-based model of therapy that has a demonstrated success rate of 90% in some efficacy studies.
I am a Catholic Therapist with years of training in Christian Counseling. I combine the beauty of IFS with the truth of Scripture and Catholic teaching. True healing comes from God and I help to facilitate that process by using a faith-based approach for those who desire this type of approach.
With an MBA and many years in the dog-eat-dog world of corporate America, I have a specialized niche in performance issues that can cripple people in their work and life, including; fear of failure — being seen as a fraud — perfectionism — procrastination — not good enough — criticism — rejection — being too much — fear of conflict.
Appointments are 50 minutes. I am flexible to be able to offer longer sessions (75 minutes) to accommodate busy lifestyles or hectic travel schedules. Some people find increased benefit in longer, concentrated sessions.
I am an out-of-network provider for the major insurance companies. Many of my clients use their insurance. Here’s how it works — you pay me my full fee at the time of the appointment. I will give you a receipt and you turn that into your insurance company. Your insurance company will send reimbursement directly to you. If you want to know more specifics (how much will I be reimbursed, do I have to meet a deductible, etc.) — call your insurance company. They can explain exactly how it will work, based upon your specific policy.
I do not take Medicare or Medicaid.
I am licensed to work with clients in NY and FL and spend time in each location. I work with the majority of my clients via Telehealth yet I am able to see clients in my Buffalo office when I am in NY.
God has blessed me with a full bounty of clients that has resulted in a very full practice. I occasionally take new clients and other times I need to say, “My practice is too full.” If I cannot take you on as a new client, I’ll do my best to provide you referrals to another therapist. I encourage you to call me to inquire. I’ll help in any way I can.
