***A Message For New or Inactive Patients***
Due to the increased volume of requests for service during these challenging times, all appointment openings are currently full.
New or Inactive (those who have not been seen in the past 24 months) patients cannot currently be accommodated.
This practice does maintain a waitlist for new-patient openings, however unfortunately at this time my waitlist is also full and therefore closed until May 1, 2022.
If you are looking to become a New patient or are an Inactive patient ( a patient who has not had a treatment session within the past 24 months), please contact your primary care provider for referral to another therapist.
Currently, this office does not accept new patients under the age of 21.
COVID 19 UPDATE :
My office remains OPEN during this challenging time, and we are following all protocols and guidelines for Coronovirus protection and disinfection as recommended by the CDC.
Office visits, Telehealth video sessions, and telephone sessions are now available for my existing patients, however please be aware that telehealth and telephone sessions will be subject to approval by your insurance provider or private-pay arrangement. Please be sure to check with your health insurance prior to requesting telehealth or telephone sessions, as not all plans will cover these services and you may be responsible for the cost of these sessions if your plan does not cover them. These policies are changing from month to month so it is important to stay informed about your own coverage.
Existing patients may choose to schedule Telehealth, telephone sessions, or office visits provided that you read and adhere to the following document prior to your office appointments and that you have signed a telehealth privacy form in your patient portal. Thank you!
New patients, please scroll down to complete and submit the outreach form located on this page or call my office at (716) 343-3661.

BEST PRACTICES FOR PATIENTS DURING CORONAVIRUS
May 5, 2021
Dear Patients:
We know that there’s widespread concern in our community about the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), and I want you to know that your health is my top priority.
With the increasing uncertainty and growing number of infected individuals around the world, we encourage you to take responsibility for yourself and your family.
This service is currently covered by many insurance plans.
Please refer to the CDC’s dedicated 2019-ncov website for additional information, and maintain awareness by checking the official communications from the Centers for Disease Control and World Health Organization.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
With my best wishes for the continued health and safety of you and your family,
