Attachment-based Therapists in Brant Lake, NY

I am an experienced therapist specializing in relationships. I could be a good fit if you're struggling with relationship patterns not serving yourself or others. You may find yourself triggered with an emotional reaction which feels bigger than the present moment seems to warrant. Intimate partner relationships and parenting can point to parts of us that need awareness and further healing. I can help move to a place of self understanding, acceptance and healthier living. My background treating relational trauma guides the partnership and parenting work we'll partner in.

My therapeutic approach is open, warm, compassionate, and curious. I integrate Psychology and Buddhism and believe a holistic approach that attends to body, mind, and sprit is crucial to healing. Foundational to my practice is the idea that a deep wisdom resides within all of us. I strive to co-create a safe space where individuals can explore the lightest and darkest aspects of self without the self-judgment and criticism so prevalent in our culture. When trauma and pain are witnessed and individuals feel seen and understood, wisdom can prevail so that one can heal, while recognizing and actualizing their potential and chosen path.

My ideal client is someone who grapples with a range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and trauma, and seeks to overcome these challenges to lead a more fulfilling life. They require a therapeutic space that is safe and non-judgmental, where they can explore their feelings and experiences. Their goals include reducing symptoms, healing from past traumas, improving self-esteem, and enhancing their relationships. Ultimately, they want to regain control over their mental and emotional well-being and find a sense of purpose and contentment in their lives, free from the constraints of their mental health issues.

Are you experiencing frequent conflicts and arguments about the same things, but nothing ever seems to get resolved? Do you feel the harder you try to make things better, the worse it seems to get? When people feel they are underappreciated, misunderstood, or blamed for things that don't feel are their fault, people stop listening and can become stuck pointing fingers and assigning blame. No one is changing behaviors or focused on solutions. All you know is you feel stuck, scared and realize that your family relationships are in trouble and need help.

Have you walked through life with ongoing and persistent questions that are ruminating in your mind? Do you feel stuck or confused? Do you consistently have symptoms and problems associated with depression, anxiety and sleep? Have you been through traumatic events that have changed your life plans?

People choose therapy for many reasons such as relationship problems, stress connected to life transitions or feeling stuck or dissatisfied with life circumstances. As a licensed therapist I believe that no one should have to endure pain and suffering alone. Therapy can lead to evolution and growth in all areas of life such as improved self esteem and relationships with others. My style is collaborative and my clients like the fact that I do more than just listen. I raise questions, get them thinking, make suggestions, and engage actively.

My passion is to help children find themselves through discovering their strengths, likes/dislikes, coping strategies and effective ways to communicate. Children are not born with the ability to know how they are feeling and the best ways to communicate their wants and needs. Usually they show us through their behavior. It is a great pleasure of mine, to help equip them with these skills. Above all, I love teaching people to believe in themselves because believing is the first step in achieving your goal.

They are typically looking to feel better about themselves, better-manage their emotional reactions, find more harmony in their relationships, and navigate difficult situations.

My ideal client would be open to more than talk therapy to resolve their trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders and attachment adaptations. They would be willing to begin to lower their unconscious defenses in their body as well as their minds, work with regressed parts to improve self-regulation and self love which will improve their abilities to be more relational with their friends and family. My client could also be going through a transition and need support or an added resource to help them get through a difficult time where indecision is blocking them from moving forward.

You are more than just a diagnosis! Therapy can help you to develop the resilience to cope with even the most painful of life circumstances.

Do you find yourself feeling misunderstood, no matter what you do? You may be feeling fed up with not knowing truly who you are and what you want, feeling like you will never be truly happy again. You might not even remember a time things didn't feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and stressed. You're ready to find your true authentic self and peace of mind. Most of all you're ready to create safe and reliable relationships with others, where you feel understood, heard, and cared for.

Whether you have been to therapy before or are making the leap to explore yourself for the first time, starting therapy can be intimidating. Maybe you feel that despite your best attempts at putting the puzzle pieces of your life/situation together, you still can't seem to find peace. Maybe you don't know where to even start. We can't evade having emotional experiences, so learning to not only cope, but embrace our emotions is an invaluable skill. If you are struggling with the present, ruminating on the past, or worrying about the future- there is a path forward that is worth exploring.

Have you been contemplating exploring yourself in a deeper way? Do you feel as though you are being blocked in understanding yourself or working toward your goals? I specialize in helping individuals get to the root of what is going on through self-exploration and gaining insight. I approach my work with individuals through a nonjudgemental, open, curious lens. I prefer to view my clients as "fellow travelers", as we are both on this journey together. No one person is immune to the struggles of human existence. I have experience working with college students and adults. I value the unique aspects that each individual brings.
