Therapists in Poughkeepsie, NY
Despite living a life that looks stable and successful, you lack direction, and so you fear for your future. You feel rudderless, like you’ve lost yourself along the way. You live a lifestyle that looks ideal to others, yet it hasn’t brought you the meaning and joy it was supposed to. Now, difficult thoughts and emotions become more present: isolation, distraction, and anxiety. Spectral questions resurface: “Who am I?” “What’s the point of all this?” “What direction is our society headed in?” You know you need to reconnect with yourself and get grounded, but how?

My approach to therapy is conversational in style. Over my more than 25 years of practice, I have found that interaction enhances the energy level in the room and builds a strong relationship between my client and myself. I offer a good deal of feedback and it is in this give and take that we define the vital issues confronting a person. This relationship is a therapeutic alliance, a conversation between two people interacting as equal members of a team, to achieve the goals that have been set. This therapeutic alliance is the foundation for all the work that we do.

I love working with people to understand their own patterns of thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships. All of these patterns have a root cause, and have served you in some way at some time—even if they are now proving to be unhelpful or harmful. In our work together, we will come to better understand the problems you face, develop a plan to make a change, and then put that plan into action. I specialize in working with pre-teens, teens, and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, BPD, ADHD, patterns of difficulty regulating emotions, and pervasive isolation/interpersonal conflict.

Do you ever feel stuck with where you are right now and don't know how to change that? We can imagine our lives in a better place or that change already implemented, but we don't know how to get it started. Sometimes we don't know where to start and need some assistance in that journey. Approaching therapy for the first time can be daunting, but if we treat it as a space where there's a listening ear, reflection, and some guidance towards making a change then it can be lighter.
