Female Therapists in Yorkville, New York, NY

Therapy is what you make of it. It can be a great space for self-discovery and improvement, or to process and work through difficult emotions. Sometimes, we just want to be heard, seen, and understood. As your therapist, my hope is to create a safe therapeutic relationship where you can feel free to be your authentic self. When passion, humor, and creativity are incorporated into sessions, it can truly nourish the therapeutic space and your potential.

Although it is sometimes difficult to make the first contact with a therapist if you can push through that resistance you will find an valuable source for understanding what it is that is preventing you from achieving your goals. Through the relationship; the knowledge the therapist possesses of psychological processes, the bond you will hopefully feel with this person who is your supporter and your ally but who is still able to have a neutral and honest view of your behavior you can grow and progress beyond what you can imagine.

I have had significant success helping clients deal with issues such as relationships, loss, aging, trauma, body image, career development, stress management, depression, anxiety, illness, personal growth and what I call "behavioral decluttering", ( illiminating old and unwanted behaviors). My style as a therapist is to help clients identify those areas of their lives which are most troubling and then develop specific goals to ensure that therapy produces important life changing results. The ultimate goal is for clients to eventually serve as their own therapists, applying what they learned in therapy to lead more fulfilling lives.

I approach each individual with empathy, curiosity, and acceptance, inviting my clients to explore their emotions and struggles in a safe space. I have supported clients to identify and set boundaries, honor their needs, improve communication, and unlock their innate capabilities. I'm here to offer empathy, support, and guidance as we explore your problems and work together to find solutions. I take my cues from my clients, but maintain a focus on stated goals, and can help give structure to our sessions.

My mission is to help you tap into your unconscious mind. With the knowledge, skills and awareness I've attained, I very carefully guide you to look back into your childhood, adolescence and adulthood. In doing so, I can help you to heal from past wounds of verbal, psychological, physical and/or sexual trauma/abuse, grief & bereavement and/or anger & resentment.

Life is complex, and you might experience a gap between what you want and where you are at. If you are feeling stuck, anxious, perhaps experiencing difficulty making important decisions, or feeling that your life is not moving in the direction you want; psychotherapy might be a space for you to evolve in the way you desire by learning about yourself and ways to transition your current circumstances.

Self-awareness is a path to healing, recovery, transformation and personal success. In my clinical work I offer a safe and supportive space, where you can develop self-understanding and new ways of coping that will help you to work through your struggles that otherwise make you feel stuck, frustrated, humiliated and unfulfilled. Awareness implies that one has control over, choice of, and responsibility for one's own feelings, thoughts and actions. In your self-discovery you will find opportunity for change in a natural way.
