Who This Is For

Who I see from Buffalo

I see Buffalo moms who may have plenty of people nearby and still feel responsible for keeping the week together. Family can offer real help, and closeness can also bring opinions about the choices you make.

I am a mother of four and a licensed social worker with more than 20 years of experience. I make room for what you want to say without asking you to defend your family or pretend every part of the routine feels good.

The Everyday Load

What life here can add to the load

  1. Snow-day decisions

    When snow changes school or childcare plans, the whole day may need rebuilding. You might still have a shift to cover while trying to find someone who can help.

  2. Family nearby

    Close-knit neighborhoods and nearby relatives may bring support and strong opinions. We can talk about accepting help while deciding which choices belong to you.

  3. Shift work

    Early starts, late finishes and changing hours can make rest hard to protect. You may be awake when others are sleeping or managing family needs after a long shift.

  4. Game-day weekends

    Games and gatherings can change the pace of a weekend. You can enjoy the shared time and still want a say in the hosting, rides and cleanup.

A Little Room for You

What we work on

Our work might focus on parenting stress, anxious thinking or the changes in how you see yourself outside family roles. I ask which demand has become hardest to carry. Together we choose a goal that fits your household, rather than another expectation to meet.

How Sessions Fit

How video sessions fit a Buffalo week

A video appointment does not require an extra trip through town. You can join from a private room at home or a safely parked car in a parking lot. We discuss whether others can hear you, and the car stays parked throughout.

A lunch break or time after bedtime may be worth considering. I offer day, evening and weekend times to discuss. A camera and steady connection help, along with a plan for someone else to handle interruptions when possible.

CBT helps us look at thoughts that link boundaries with guilt. DBT skills give us ways to pause during strong feelings and practice clearer conversations. I am a social worker, not a prescriber. I ask what you notice so we can adjust our work.

No. Anyone located in New York State during a session can work with me. All my sessions are virtual, with no local office visit.
