Female Therapists in Otsego County, NY

I am passionate about working with people of the global majority (or Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and/or LGBTQIA+ adults. I focus on helping you feel empowered and effective in your life. My approach pendulates between somatic, or body-based, techniques and guided conversation to cultivate self awareness, emotional regulation, insight, and meaning making. Using your goals, experiences, and preferences, we will co-create a path towards wellness, however that looks for you. You will come away from sessions feeling understood and valued, and with the skills and mindset to navigate life's obstacles.

Are you trying to figure out how to make changes in yourself and in your life? Counseling is just a series of conversations with 3 basic parts. First is for you to identify what you want to change, then you will explore ways to make those changes. Finally there is the work of challenging some of your thinking habits and how to try new strategies. This can can lead to changes in your behavior. Rigid or inaccurate thoughts can limit your understanding of other people as well as yourself. As you progress you will likely feel much more hopeful and positive. These new skills can be used daily. This is you taking charge of your life!

Since 2001 I have been providing holistic, strength-based services. Above all, I believe that each and every person is capable of rediscovering their true self.

I would be glad to answer any questions you may have about the therapeutic process. Please feel free to call, text or e-mail me anytime.

Everyone suffers many losses in their lifetime. Grief is our reaction to loss based on what we have learned from childhood, what we have experienced as adults, and how we have chosen to respond. We then struggle to determine how to evolve and change. The grieving process does not follow a prescribed path. There are many commonalities to the grieving process, yet the journey is unique to the individual. Loss is typically defined as a death, but may take many forms: a relationship, a job, a pet. I specialize in many types of Grief and Transitions including Anticipatory. Absent, Complicated, Disenfranchised, Chronic, Delayed and Inhibited.

As individuals, partners, or parents, we know when something is out of sync. Changing situations, relationships and emotions are all part of the human condition. Sometimes we struggle to adjust. How we act -- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually-- all determine our level of health. I specialize in mood disorders, trauma, bereavement, and suicide survivors. My clients are the experts. They experience the situation. I observe and listen, provide support, and suggest tools they may use as they challenge themselves, as they find a better to deal with their problems. Small changes equal big impacts in our lives.

Anxiety. Depression. Have one or both shown up uninvited in your life? Keeping you awake at night with worries and self-doubt, convincing your mind and body that 2 am is the ideal time to problem-solve and gain an enlightened mindset about whatever is troubling you? Most people feel worried or sad from time to time–we’re human, not robots after all–but if you’re searching for a therapist, I’m guessing that these uninvited guests have overstayed their welcome and are reeking havoc with your peace of mind and interfering with your life. You're unsure about whether it's time to change a situation or time to change your mindset.
