EMDR Therapists in Eden, NY

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with teens and adults who are navigating challenging times in their lives. I specialize in working with those who need help coping with anxiety, depression, past trauma as well as life transitions. I am familiar with a wide variety of treatment strategies with the ability to introduce you to skills that can help you reduce stress, improve relationships and build a fulfilling life. I am trauma informed and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Are you feeling sad, lonely or stuck?. Depression and anxiety can rob of us the joy of the present. We all need someone to listen to us - but effective counseling involves working with someone who can help you to achieve results. I have over 24 years of experience providing counseling to individuals, families and parents. I have helped many adults who have struggled with Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, and Relationship issues. Many that I work with are able with my help to resolve their problems and live more satisfying and full lives in the present.

Life doesn’t always go the way we planned. Sometimes we get stuck and find ourselves feeling hopeless. You are not alone. Many people I work with have had negative experiences in their lives that continue to affect them in different ways; such as, having meaningful relationships with others. Some people say that fear and worry run their lives. Whatever it may be, I will help you gain insight into your problems and learn new ways to resolve conflicts, develop more confidence, and begin to live the life you want.

By creating a space where you can navigate difficult feelings, emotions, and all of life stresses my goal is to help you live a full life that is filled with joy. This may be because you are feeling stuck and unfulfilled in your life, or you may be unable to move forward after a difficult event or a traumatic experience. Or you are looking for guidance to discover peace with your inner self. I know how you feel: tired, confused, searching for meaning or barely being able to keep up with your endless thoughts or doom for your future.

Feeling stuck? World crumbling around you? Relationships falling apart? Sometimes it feels like doors are slamming shut on us, and the world is becoming a very dark place.

You've been suffering in silence, maybe it's time to do something about it. Let's break the silence, and crush the stigma of mental health, which prevents so many people from getting the help they need.

Meaningful positive change is possible, and it starts with taking the risk to do something different. That is brave work, and I am here to support people in doing it. I believe it's possible to relate to any experience in a way that allows for peace and growth. That doesn't mean it is easy. Life can be difficult, and harder to navigate if we've not been able to address past adversity and missing pieces. Through experience, I've found self-compassion to be key in healing and growth. It can be cultivated. My approach is collaborative, direct, and supportive. I welcome people as they are, and am open to learning from my clients.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Tired? Feeling like you are stuck in the past? Life throws so much at you; you don’t know where to start. You want to improve who you are and feel that you are moving in a direction that you get to choose. You want to feel in control of life again and that you are no longer living in the past. You want to feel more freedom. Looking for help is a wonderful starting point on your journey.

We may experience things in our lives that feel like they change who we are and our view of the world. As a result, we may feel loneliness, distrust, anger, sadness, numbness, shame, and guilt. We may not allow ourselves to experience the wide range of human emotions and limit our connection with others as a way to protect ourselves. I believe that people are resilient, able to heal from trauma, and can reconnect with their authentic, genuine selves.

“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” (Carl Rodgers) We can’t change what we do not explore and the first step in the direction of that journey is always the hardest. But you are here already taking that step, looking for someone to assist with the change that you seek. Everyday life can be in the way of focusing on healing from our past, management of stress/mental health issues and making changes for our future. Setting aside time for yourself is important! You are important!

From the outside it looks like things are going well, but you know that isn’t the whole story. Inside you're struggling with worry and feelings of unease and insecurity. Maybe you feel sad or on edge, and can’t focus on the things you love. Perhaps it feels like the world is caving in on you as others look on. These are just a few symptoms that are familiar to clients who seek therapy with me. Although I enjoy working with a diverse range of clients, I specialize in working with young adults who struggle with traumatic memories, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and low self-esteem.
