I pursued my Masters in Social work while I was a stay at home mother to my young daughters. I obtained my advanced standing MSW degree at the University of Buffalo in 2018. My first job out of graduate school, I had the privileged of conducting counseling in families’ homes where I primarily counseled children and teenagers.
About Me
My background:
Later, I transitioned to working in an adult mental health outpatient clinic where I gained experienced treating dual disorders (Both mental health and substance use). In 2021, I started working for a group private practice called Shurmatz Counseling. It was at this place, I gained a vast array of clinical knowledge and where I truly became the psychotherapist that I am today.

My current practice focuses on treating individual adults. I specifically specialize in the treatment of attachment wounds, anxiety, CPTSD, PTSD, grief/loss, and eating disorders.
Additionally, my second passion is working with couples where I use both a psychoanalytic and Internal Family systems approach to healing. You can expect that I will always take a strengths based/ individualized approach with you as I truly believe that what each human needs in order to heal is very different.
In my free time: I love the outdoors and utilize hiking, nature, and yoga as a stress reliever. Additionally, I love to travel both within the states and internationally in order to expand my perspectives on life.
