About
I earned my masters degree in Counseling from Canisius College in Buffalo NY in 1999. I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor as well as a licensed school counselor. With more than 20 years experience as a middle school counselor, I specialize in working with children (ages 10+) and adolescents. My therapeutic basis is from the Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral approach. I believe that everyone has the innate ability to overcome obstacles and challenges presented in their lives. I believe that by establishing goals with the client and their family, and through the use of specific counseling interventions, clients gain an increase in self-awareness, self-regulation and self-worth. I am also a Therapy Dogs International Handler and may employ the use of my 8-pound Yorkipoo, Chloe to assist in the therapy process, when necessary. I am also able to guide parents to access appropriate school interventions and support plans (IEP and Section 504)
