Therapists in Ulster County, NY

You are looking for a therapist because you want something in your life to change. It might be anxiety, or sadness; lethargy or loneliness; dysfunctional patterns of work or relationship; low self-esteem, conflict over sexual identity or decisions about parenting. I work in an interactive style to deepen self-understanding; resolve conflicts, heal traumas and turn around dysfunctional patterns. I am eclectic in approach, trained psychoanalytically and in gestalt. I also have an avid interest in theater and the arts and believe they have much to teach us about our own behavior and the interpretation of our dreams.

Let me help you to find clarity, authenticity, and courage in your relationships, your professional life and your personal journey. I provide a free phone consultation where you will be able to explore my background, modalities and experience. I have been treating people clinically for over 25 years. I am passionate about my work and love seeing my clients successfully engage in therapy. Nothing is more exciting to me than watching my clients make powerful life changes.

I bring a holistic approach to therapy that draws upon relational psychoanalysis and depth psychology, contemplative and mindfulness practices, feminine psychology and somatic awareness. I hold space for the healing of the body, mind, and soul through deep reflection on one's past and present, relational patterns, and exploration into the hidden, unconscious parts of self through desires and narratives that emerge in dream and fantasy.

Some of the most important things that happen in our lives can't be put into words. Changes in emotions, thoughts, or daily life—feeling sad, anxious, tired, difficulty focusing, appetite or sleep changes, loneliness, mood swings, and/or hopelessness—can become overwhelming over time. Envision a safe space where emotions can surface, inviting exploration. Here, they are not just acknowledged but heard, understood, and perhaps even befriended. Creative Arts therapy involves the mind, body, and spirit in different ways than just talking. These ways lead to an emotional connection to the full range of human experience.

The decision to begin therapy is a courageous one often made when feeling stuck, vulnerable, or in emotional distress. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and supportive space, where your thoughts and feelings can be expressed openly and freely, and a deepening awareness can lead to developing a meaningful and lasting understanding of your unique way of being in the world. In my experience change occurs in the context of relationship. Within the therapeutic relationship, new ways of being can be experienced, leading to a more creative, open way of living.

The path to a life of peace, joy, and harmony lies ahead, and it's ok to need a little help in getting there. The foundation of my practice is based on two core principles: the importance of building a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship, and the belief that life's challenges provide an invaluable opportunity for personal growth. It takes courage to reach out for support and guidance, particularly if you’re going through a tough time; feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, having issues in your relationships, or if you're feeling ready to work through past traumas. Counseling can be transformative for these issues.

Choosing a therapist is a very personal thing.

I hope to be that person for you!

"Get busy living, or get busy dying." If you haven't seen Shawshank Redemption, maybe you should. Maybe it's just me, but reading all the profiles here seems a bit tedious since we are all essentially saying the same things. As an Army Veteran and a solution-focused pragmatist, I like to cut to the chase. The bottom line is that we've ALL survived something in our lives and fall into one of two basic categories; either those who just don't die or those who come back to living. So which category are you in?

My practice offers a safe and relaxing space to begin the psychotherapeutic journey. As a college professor and clinician for many years I offer a wide range of therapeutic approaches that go beyond talk therapy: such as mindfulness practice, mind/body awareness skills, and other psycho-educational practices. I think that good clinical treatment resides in the therapeutic relationship informed by the latest research on the brain and the gut and an overall multi-modal approach to the person(s) sitting across from me.
