Multicultural Therapists in Elbridge, NY

All appointments are currently offered online only via Skype or Zoom. I use an integrative approach to treatment including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, existential, and multicultural approaches to help adults and older adults with a variety of issues including anxiety and depression. I also have clinical knowledge of abnormal psychology, mood disturbances, and self harming behavior. I take a strength based approach to the work, and I work with patients for short-term therapy and for longer-term therapy. I focus on unconscious factors to help patients increase self-awareness and insight.

Anxiety is something all of us have experienced, but for some it can be very debilitating. Whether it's worrying about what others think about you, fear of having a panic attack, or engaging in OCD-related rituals, anxiety can be difficult to manage alone. Therapy offers an opportunity to learn about the nature of anxiety - how it impacts our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By developing a deeper understanding, we can learn how to cope with anxiety while still pursuing our goals.

I’ve been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for 20 years, working the last 10+ years in private practice in Ithaca, NY. While I have an office on N.

I work with people who are managing acute or chronic physical illness, pain and the often complicated diagnostic process.

I approach therapy with an emphasis on empowerment, to aid an individual on their path to happiness.  My focus is helping an individual understand the roots to their emotional pain, and offering guidance in discovering methods to improve mental wellness.  I also assist with developing interventions to promote effective communication skills, increase self-advocacy, and foster healthy coping techniques.  Every life experience is an opportunity for growth, and I believe it’s vital to maintain emotional balance while growing, in order to find peace within life’s journey.

Thanks for taking the time to read about my therapeutic practice! I enjoy working with individuals who express concern about the state of the world, who are interested in addressing the impacts of trauma on their body, and those who are through life transitions. I welcome people who identify as queer/trans, ENM/poly, and anyone who feels on the outside. I am interested in holding space for all aspects that arise within our human psyche, and helping to look within. I also find it essential to name my deeply held belief in the intrinsic goodness of humans as a part of nature and commitment to transmute wounds rooted in colonialism.

Are you struggling with a mental health issue? Do you lack motivation, focus, and direction? Are you overwhelmed with life stressors and emotions? Are you living in the past, stuck, and unable to move forward? Do you use alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex or gaming to “cope” with life stressors? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you would benefit from counseling with an objective, nonjudgmental, and supportive therapist. Let me be that therapist for you. Life can be hard, stressful, and challenging but you do not have to navigate this trip alone.

Our lives today are busy and often overwhelming. Struggling with mental health symptoms complicates the process of managing our daily routines and responsibilities, and frequently people struggle in silence, due to fears of being judged. Mental health issues do not have to keep people from achieving their personal goals and living their best lives. Just as people with substance use struggles speak about their recovery from their addictions, people with mental health challenges can do the same. Recovery is real and achievable, and I am honored to come along your journey toward health and overall wellness.

As your multicultural competent therapist, I am here to support, empower, and guide you towards that more positive + joyful life experience.

Being a First Generation of Immigrant parents, I remember struggling to understand the complexity of my identities and the intersectionalities. I remember wishing and wanting someone who could understand what it was like navigating multiple identities, being multiracial and multicultural. My practice is meant to offer support and space to help those explore their identities and learn to embrace and love all the parts of themselves. This is integrative with exploring internal identities and exploring ways of practicing self-love in a collaborative and culturally responsive space.
