Female Therapists in Buffalo, NY

Hypnotherapy connects you to the power of the subconscious mind, and combined with holistic counseling and acupressure, old self defeating patterns based on trauma or self-doubt can be released. Underneath these old patterns, your true confidence, resilience, and strength lie hidden. These are natural human qualities which we all can experience when the mind turns away from negativity and fear toward trust and wholeness. It requires a shift of attention from the conditioned mind to the real presence of your own authentic self which the "BodyMind Transformation' process encourages and facilitates.

Being human comes with complexities of great loss, love, curiosities and questions.

As well as having ruminating thoughts, social withdrawal and being overwhelmed by it all. While working alongside a therapist, I believe that you can create a healthier and deeper understanding of the self, learn/practice communication skills, and process trauma to navigate and gain depth and perspective on the complexities of life.

Through my experience, I've found that my therapy style is more casual, where I find sessions being experienced as casual conversations.

Feeling anxious all the time is such a crippling feeling and can feel like there is no escaping it. Just when one anxious thought starts to go away, another one shows up and takes its place. It can feel like an endless cycle of racing thoughts, worry, and fear about anything and everything.

If this sounds like you, you're not alone!

Changes in personal and professional relationships, as well as life events, can affect your emotional and physical health. Seeking therapy can be a step in the right direction.

Having worked with people challenged by chronic illness, relationship conflicts, parenting issues and aging problems for over thirty years, I can offer you a safe space to work towards your personal goals.

Sometimes life takes you on a journey that you did not sign up for. Picture this, you make the perfect itinerary and plan for your perfect vacation. Everything you want to do you were able to schedule. Then, you show up at the airport and find out you missed your flight. What do you do now?

Are you having a hard time relating to your partner? Are you communicating but it seems as if nothing is changing? Do you desire better communication or want to enhance intimacy?
