In Person Therapists in Fishkill, NY

It may be difficult to find the right fit in speaking to someone about things you hold deep within yourself. There may be things that you need to share with someone because you want to work on changing them or mainly just because you don't want to keep them bottled up any longer. Whatever the reasons may be, looking for the right person to talk to can be a very difficult and time consuming task. I want to help you find that person where you can take the reins and design the therapeutic interaction. We will be partners in your road to recovery. Your life...your choices. Let me help you.

Limited daytime openings. Email contact is best to get started. Do you often feel that life is overwhelming? Have you experienced upsetting events you struggle to move past? Therapy provides a safe and comfortable space to explore your inner thoughts and feelings. The right therapist can be difficult to find, but this connection is invaluable. I will work with you on specific goals, or simply alleviating stress in your everyday life.

Utilizing elements of psychoanalytic and relational theories, CBT, and narrative therapy in my practice, I will work with you to overcome the challenges that are holding you back. My multicultural approach reflects my passion for serving clients of marginalized groups. As a woman of dual-cultural background and a fierce advocate for social justice, I have a deep understanding of issues experienced by different cultures and ethnicities, as they intersect with gender, identity, race, religion, sexuality, disability, and socioeconomic status.

Over the course of my career I have worked in colleges, hospitals, outpatient clinics and in-home settings throughout the Hudson Valley and New York City. My work has focused on supporting those working through addiction, trauma recovery, anxiety disorders, depression, grief and loss, and a variety of other clinical concerns.

I enjoy working with teens and adults who are struggling with family conflict, identity development, relationship challenges, depression/anxiety, or a history of traumatic experiences. My clients would describe me as warm, compassionate, supportive, and insightful. In therapy, my goal is to help empower clients to find a path that feels more centered and safe, where they feel most fully themselves

I am a licensed therapist working with clients who are struggling with a wide variety of life issues. My approach to treatment is eclectic. I have been trained in both short or long term treatment modalities depending on your needs.

As a Mind/Body oriented Therapist, I understand that our emotions, behaviors, and physical body are sensitive to the stressors we face; we can literally FEEL anxiety, depression, and strong emotions. These stressors can affect our whole selves, often manifesting in negative thinking patterns and/or physical sensations of stress. Whether you are having trouble managing stress, and/or experiencing grief, loss, difficult emotions, relationship issues, anxiety/panic, or you feel like you've lost yourself somewhere along the way, working with your mind AND body through integrated psychotherapy, can help.

Congratulations for taking the first step and exploring therapy. Together, we will work towards garnering your resources to create skills that bring out the best part of you. Are you trying to overcome anxiety? Tired of feeling down? Not quite understanding what's going on in your head? Are you looking to find clarity, confidence and a sense of well-being? I invite you to join me on your path towards healing. I am accepting new clients, in person and virtually, beginning August 15, 2024.

Let's face it, families struggle & face challenges but there are times you feel your children & challenges are beyond what most would consider normal. You hear others talk about their experiences with their children & you know that it's never been like that for you. The issues they are having at school, with peers & at home are impacting your mental clarity, relationships & lust for life. You don't know who to ask for help; nor who to trust. It leaves you feeling angry, scared, resentful, & ultimately alone. You don't know if therapy can help, but you're willing to do whatever it takes.

I value connection and relationship as the major foundation to the therapy process. I believe in collaborating with clients and empowering individuals to find their own answers. I also believe in transparency with my clients. I will lend my own personal perspective and experience with a particular situation, if I believe it will be helpful. I am here to provide additional support and to help you through life's obstacles. Life is stressful enough so I believe teaching clients to avoid turning pain into suffering is important through acceptance and mindfulness. I am looking forward to meeting you!

With an outside the box approach, our therapists use creative means to bring healing, growth, and change in addition to traditional talk therapy. We work with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, OCD, managing major life changes, anger management, codependency, relationship struggles, trauma, invisible illness (MS, etc), insomnia, and many different stressors and situations from childhood all through adult life. We’re a group of 6 therapists offering a wide range of therapy services, aligned practices, and wellness workshops, so we most likely have something that you are looking for.

A seasoned Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist, I obtained my Master's in Clinical Social Work from the prestigious Fordham University's Advanced Standing Program, specializing in therapy for couples, individuals, and young people. I further honed my expertise with a postgraduate degree from the Albert Ellis Institute.

At times, life can feel like one big transition. Right when you overcome one challenge, another always seems to pops up. It can feel overwhelming to handle it all, whether you are a stay at home mom in the throughs of toddlerhood or a homeschool mom trying to navigate health challenges for your family members or a career driven mom trying to balance it all. The one thing I’ve learned over the years is that if you aren’t taking care of yourself physically (your health), spiritually (having a faith practice), and relationally (making time for in person connections), life can feel a whole lot more challenging than it should.

I believe that every person has a unique and meaningful story that deserves to be heard. My goal is to provide safety and support as the telling of this story unfolds. I will provide opportunities for insight along the way to better understand your emotions and behaviors. I have ample experience working with, autism spectrum, hard to parent children, divorce, polyamorous relationships and life transitions.

You’re so tired. And you’re tired of saying you’re tired. Especially after these exhausting COVID years. It’s so hard to turn your mind off from your worries and your endless to-do list. You’re overwhelmed, wondering when things will get easier. You provide so much care to others, but you get lost in the shuffle. Your temper flares easily. So much has changed in your life, and you wonder if you will feel like yourself again. Care work is incredibly hard and often invisible, and caring for yourself in the midst of that is even harder.

“This shouldn’t be happening.” “I can’t deal with this.” "This is not how I pictured it." Sound familiar? It's perfectly natural to feel lost or uncertain at times, especially when facing transitions or challenges in life. Remember, you are deserving of a life filled with love, connection, courage, creativity, and clear direction. You are not alone in these feelings, and it's important to acknowledge your worth and potential.

I see therapy as a space where I can help my clients understand who they are so that they can gain freedom in how they walk through the world. Life’s ebbs and flows can evoke painful feelings and, in my experience, understanding those feelings alongside another person can bring about relief and lifelong change.

Welcome! I am so glad that you are here. Life can be overwhelming at times with many bumps along the way. However, it can also be beautiful! I am passionate about working with adolescents and young adults as they navigate their way through the stressors of life including anxiety, stress, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. My therapeutic style encourages clients to develop a sense of autonomy through the use of an engaging, empathic, strength-based approach.
