Stress Therapists in Ithaca, NY
I offer Somatic Experiencing (SE) sessions. Do you struggle with the effects of trauma, stress, neglect or injury? Feeling overwhelmed by issues of social justice and the environment? Living with and talking about these things can cause strong reactions in our bodies that deserve their own approach, in addition to psychotherapy. We want to feel comfortable in our skin - able to rest, feel a sense of belonging and confidently stand up for ourselves and others in a balanced way. SE helps clients navigate painful emotions and memories as the related physical sensations gently become more differentiated and take on new meanings.

With over 20 years of experience working with teens, I understand that being a girl today comes with overwhelming expectations and stress whether it is school issues and peer relationships, coping with intense emotions, dating/relationships issues, low self-esteem, social media, or struggling with anxiety.
I specialize in empowering teen girls as they journey through adolescence and enter young adulthood. I help girls develop the tools they need to have strong peer and family relationships, make healthy choices, build confidence/self-esteem, and Be Happy! My approach is proactive and preventive because adolescence is a time for learning and personal growth. My style is relaxed, friendly, and down-to-earth. From the moment your teen meets me, she will feel respected, accepted, and understood. Our work together will focus on skill and confidence building, NOT labels and stigma.

Together, we will explore these patterns and develop healthier ways to manage stress, set boundaries, and embrace self-compassion.
Are you a high-achieving professional who feels overwhelmed by anxiety, striving for perfection, and constantly prioritizing others' needs over your own? You’re not alone. Many others like you are incredibly successful on the outside but privately struggle with imposter syndrome, relentless self-doubt, fear of failure, and burnout from trying to be everything to everyone. The pressure to "do it all" can lead to exhaustion, frustration, and feelings of inadequacy, no matter how much you accomplish. You don’t have to keep running on empty or striving for an unrealistic standard of “perfection.”

I have experience in working with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and school stress. I spent more than two years working at Cornell's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), which provided me with deep knowledge of the ins and outs of their mental health system, along with the pressures that one can face at college in regard to competition, academic stress, and building social connection. Being from upstate NY, I also understand some of the isolative parts of the experience, and adjustment to the uniqueness of the region. I am grateful to have a chance to share this experience and apply it to the therapy space.

In our work together, I will not ask you to complete worksheets, talk about breathing, or the importance of mindfulness. In fact, we are unlikely to talk about many things you can easily find through a Google search. Instead, I will ask questions to learn about you, explore various parts of yourself and your history, critical life experiences, and the relationship between them. The stress we feel and the barriers we face are often rooted to those very relationships we will explore. I am able to work with those in New York, Illinois, and Indiana. I accept Aetna, Cigna, and BCBS of Mass. More coming and thanks for reading this far!
