Experiential Therapy in Brighton, NY

Take a full, deep breath...by reading this, you have already taken a step in seeking support. It only takes that first courageous step away from the pain, confusion or fear toward the path of freedom and the life you desire. When you are ready for that step, I am here to support you on a healing journey. Therapy will uncover any self-destructive beliefs or habits (addictions/ patterns) that prevent a fuller expression of who you know you can be. Our work and my hope for you would be to experience feeling more fully alive with a sense of joy, purpose and freedom.

Hi, and welcome! Are you stressed out from juggling work, family, and trying to squeeze in a little time for yourself? Do you want a more satisfying relationship with your spouse/partner, or with your children, instead of "just going through the motions"? Does your worry or anxiety prevent you from enjoying your life? Are you depressed? Have you lost someone important in your life? Do your feel haunted by a past negative experience? If you've answered "yes" to any of these questions, I can help you. You can do more than just survive. Make this your best year!

Hi there! What a gift to yourself to seek support! Whether you are struggling with relationships, trauma, stress, parenting, postpartum, and more, I welcome you on this journey to feeling more grounded, connected to self, freer, and fulfilled. We are all part of a larger system in which we influence and are influenced by internal and external worlds. As humans, it is our life's work to find a balance between being a separate self and maintaining connection with others. I will work with you to process through your struggles within the context of your larger system and to implement lasting changes to prevent struggles from repeating.

If you feel anxious, depressed, fearful, relationship or family problems? We offer a cutting edge integrative assessment to address possible sources of your mental health symptoms versus simply treating the symptoms. We look at your overall health including hormones, vitamin deficiency and environmental issues that may play a role. We develop a unique individualized evidence based treatment plan to manage or resolve your symptoms. I bring an integrative strength based perspective to my counseling. We teach mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

If you are having anxiety or depression, if you have experienced trauma or loss, I can help you sort out the things that are missing to gain or restore meaning, energy and joy to your life and relationships. I believe in the potential for growth, that our lives can be better, that change is possible, that relationships can be deeply satisfying. If you are having difficulty in your life, relationships or work, you will find me a respectful, empathic listener. Connecting with your feelings, finding your voice and making the life and relationships you want are outcomes my individual and couple clients find in therapy with me.

Often we have little or no say in the difficulties that befall us. We have our own health problems, our relationship troubles, our work demands - as well as those of the people we love. Often we don't know what to do or we can't do what we wish. In spite of not being able to change circumstances, we do have a say in how we relate to these conflicts and transitions. Looking at our own response to crisis, both large and small, is an important part of therapy. In looking at our response, we are on a journey of self discovery and knowledge. Even in hard times there is a kind of joy that comes from self understanding and awareness.

I am accepting clients. Offering Tele-psych Sessions. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, mood, trauma, or sexual orientation, and you are ready to make a change in your life, Email me today and I will get back to you within 24 hours. As a therapist, I work hard to create a safe, non-judgmental place for people to honestly examine their problems and develop the skills and behaviors that help them move forward with their lives.

Has the journey of life thrown you unexpected twists and turns presenting you with challenging circumstances, barriers and painful experiences? Your challenges can cause you to feel overwhelmed and out of balance. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I would be honored to work with you and or your family member to achieve your goals.

Whether you are anxious, depressed, experiencing a loss, having relationship difficulties, problems with eating, or are in a difficult life transition, you can benefit from the safe space of therapy. My therapeutic approach honors suffering and difference, while placing importance on the development of a trusting relationship. Through a trusting relationship new insights may emerge as curiosity, compassion, humor, and warmth open a path for creative collaboration. Together, we’ll work to increase your self-awareness and develop a greater capacity to trust yourself to make intentional decisions about who and where you want to be.
