Female Therapists in Honeoye Falls, NY

Are you having a hard time "getting over" or "moving on" from something? Are you having trouble adjusting to a change in your life? Do you feel stuck and aren't sure about what to do next? Maybe it's a move, a breakup, a loss, or another life event that you're having a hard time accepting.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I strive to create a space that is warm, safe, and collaborative. I work with individuals who want to improve their quality of life by exploring areas that may be causing them stress (e.g., grief, identity, depression, anxiety, life transitions etc.). We would also talk about how these stressors may be related to their current or past relationships, whether it be family, friends, children, partners and/or peers. I consider my approach to be direct and open, as well as compassionate and flexible.

I recognize the significant challenges and emotions children and young adults face in their daily lives. In sessions, we work on navigating stressors and changes experienced in their family, relationships, school, and self. I explore with my clients to find goals and supports that are most in line with their own priorities and perspectives. We work together on processing the impact of relationships and events, providing skills and validation to help manage their emotions and thoughts. My aim is to provide a reassuring space for clients to reflect on themselves and use their insights to adapt thoughts, behaviors, and communication.

My specialty is bereavement. I help clients to cope with the loss of a loved one, physical illness, and anticipatory grief. I also help clients cope with life transitions such as: job loss, relocating, divorce, retirement and relationship issues. My belief is that we all hold the answers to help ourselves, we just need to uncover them. I use a combination of brief therapy, experiential therapy, and emotionally focused therapy to help clients reinvest and reinvent themselves after a traumatic life event such as the death of a loved one. I see individuals, couples, families, adults and adolescents 17 and older.

Welcome! My private practice highlights an evidence-based approach to care, dedication to the provision of quality therapy, and a clinical emphasis on working with today’s modern professionals dealing with life (and all that comes with it). I understand that your time is valuable and offer an integrated approach (incorporating aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-oriented therapy, behavior theory, client centered therapy, and mindfulness techniques). I work collaboratively with my clients and am dedicated to their increased well-being. My approach to therapy is to be genuine, supportive, curious, and challenging.

Feeling stuck? Stressed? Generally unhappy? Are you struggling with your emotions and ignoring them until they overflow? This can impact your relationships, your work, and your ability to just enjoy life. Overwhelm and discontent don’t have to define this time in your life. It's ok to take space and time for yourself; to heal, to not accept what is or go back to what was, to instead move through into a better future for yourself and your family. Whether you want to address stress, depression, anxiety, life changes, trauma, burnout, messy relationships, anger, grief, or something else…you don't need to keep doing it alone.

Do you, your college student, or teen struggle with painful feelings about your body, appearance, or eating habits? Perhaps you experience related anxiety or depression - or maybe you have spent years caring for others to the neglect of your own needs. I can help you build skills to become healthier, improve relationships, and develop resilience. I'm devoted to helping individuals heal from negative body image, harsh societal standards, and harmful patterns of behavior.

If you're reading this you've already taken the first step towards improving your mental health. Congratulations! Life can be overwhelming, I believe we all have a mental backpack we fill with the pebbles and rocks created by the stress and experiences in our lives. Eventually the straps fray, it gets heavy, and your back begins to ache. My goal is to help lighten the load!

Everybody needs help sometimes. Life is a long and sometimes difficult journey, which can seem overwhelming at times. But as with any journey, having an experienced guide to share your load and help you navigate through the rough spots can make all the difference in the world. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 20 years. My education and experience, combined with my compassion and a great sense of humor make me uniquely qualified to guide you through life's difficulties.

Did you know one of the most frequently discussed topics in a therapy session is relationships? We are wired to connect. Love and acceptance are needs we strive to experience. But we may lack the ability to communicate our priorities and values and to engage and regulate ourselves during intense conversations. This often leads to stagnation, limited opportunities, and a lack of meaningful connection. Therapy with me can bring clarity through identifying your strengths and developing additional skills to bolster your ability to tap into your greatness.

I strongly believe that therapy is for everyone, whether you are struggling with your mental wellbeing, or are simply at one of those challenging, confusing, or painful moments in life that we all experience. I provide therapy to people struggling with a broad range of concerns, and I specialize particularly in working with young adults. I invite my clients to use therapy as a safe and attuned space in which to share the thoughts and emotions that are most present for them, and then together we can untangle how these emotions are connected to current concerns, needs, and goals.

I am committed to providing empathetic and effective care to support individuals in their journey towards emotional well-being and resilience. With a deep commitment to aiding clients through life's obstacles, I employ evidence-based treatments and a cooperative method to enable personal growth. By creating a safe and nonjudgmental space, I aim to foster a therapeutic relationship built on trust and mutual respect, guiding clients towards enduring and meaningful transformation.
