Substance Abuse
Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I work with many clients who are struggling with substance use, sobriety, relapse, and the complicated feelings that surround addiction. My approach is harm reduction and compassion-based, influenced by Buddhist psychology and mindfulness practices. I have both professional experience in inpatient treatment and personal experience with addiction in my family, and I understand that addiction is rarely just about the substance—it’s often about pain, trauma, loneliness, and trying to cope. In our work together, we focus on reducing harm, understanding what the addiction is doing for you, and building other ways to survive and cope.

6 Years Experience
Online in Buffalo, NY New York
Buffalo's post-industrial economy and harsh winters contribute to elevated rates of depression and seasonal mood challenges, and therapists here are experienced in working with these climate-related patterns. The city has a strong community identity and a sizable working-class population, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic stress, relationship issues, and intergenerational family dynamics. The University at Buffalo and Erie County Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, while private practices serve those seeking longer-term therapeutic relationships. Buffalo's proximity to Canada and its large Rust Belt peer cities also shapes a regional resilience that many therapists draw on in their work.
