Female Therapists in Troy, NY
My ideal client is an individual or couple motivated to make a change. Their issues can range from struggling to manage their day-to-day lives to struggling to handle emotional reactions. They would need someone who can gently call things out while providing coping skills or tools. My ideal client would want to make an effort to show up consistently. Showing up consistently is not just attending sessions but also putting in work outside of sessions. With consistency, there's more progress. If the client needs some time to warm up, we can work with that, too.

I'm a clinical psychologist and a professor of psychology. I take a non-judgmental, compassionate, and collaborative approach to help people understand themselves better and improve their relationships with others. I also aim to help people move toward the life goals values that feel most meaningful to them. My style is integrative, and I draw largely from cognitive-behavioral, acceptance-based, and solution-focused approaches. I'm also very aware of how different aspects of a person's identity—like race, class, culture, gender, and sexuality—can affect their health and well-being.

We are inherently social creatures that yearn for connectedness but sometimes it is difficult to connect with ourselves. Even when we desire to understand our own pain and struggles, that inner connection doesn't always come how or when we hoped. I believe that a connectedness to one's self and others can be achieved; and can come more naturally with practice. As your therapist, I will foster a warm and supportive therapeutic environment for us to work together. This is a place where you can gently peel back layers of awareness so that you can more easily reach your authentic self.

Welcome to my reimagined counseling practice--now, purely virtual! Do you feel like a square peg in a round hole? Are you out of touch with who you are and what you really want? Do you sometimes lie awake nights worrying, "Is this IT?" You know you need a change, but you're not sure how to take the first step. Somewhere along the way, you may have started doing what others thought was best for you instead of trusting your own gut. Perhaps you're unhappy because you and your job aren't a good fit. Maybe you feel overwhelmed with stress from all sides.

My approach is rooted in warmth, respect, and a deep regard for the strengths of the individual. I focus on helping people make the changes they want to see in their lives, starting from the inside and working outward into relationships, work, and life as a whole.

In exploring the barriers to balance in your life, we can work together to build a holistic approach to rebalancing that is practical and effective.

I believe that we all have the power to heal from trauma, change negative thinking patterns, and make positive changes in our lives when we feel supported in a safe and nurturing space. My goal is to help my clients develop deeper insight and awareness of themselves to better understand the barriers that prevent their healing and growth. I work with clients of all ages to process trauma and address difficulties in social, work, and relationship functioning. These problems can include depression, anxiety, loss, low self-esteem, emotional/behavioral dysregulation and major life transitions.

Being with the people closest to us is often the most challenging part of our life. You might understand why things are like this, but how do you deal with it? The same conflicts repeat over and over. Despite your best efforts to avoid this, you watch yourself falling back to yelling, arguing, or walking away defeated. Maybe it's not ALWAYS this way but there's definitely potential for improvement. Getting along better would ease a lot of that stress, worry, and pain. Things would certainly improve for others affected by this negativity too. Knowing how to love yourself and others would make life much easier and enjoyable.

What if I told you that you already possess everything you need inside of you to be best version of yourself? Would you believe me? I believe it, because I believe all human beings possess these qualities. However, too often, past traumas and current stressors can steal away pieces of your true joyful self. As a result, you may feel anxious, depressed, and inadequate. When you feel these things, you may act in ways you don’t like, or repeat destructive patterns over and over again. Each time, you wonder to yourself, “What just happened! This isn’t who I am.” I am here to tell you that none of this is your fault,
