Therapists in North Boston, NY

I understand why there has been a recent rise in anxiety and depressive symptoms for many people of all ages. Major events and unexpected life changes can cause a significant amount of stress and anxiety. Stress can make us feel out of control and overwhelmed physically, mentally and emotionally. Things from our past can start to impact us more in our present. Relationships can seem more challenging and trusting ourselves almost impossible. Every person is different and when you take a closer look at every aspect of your life with help from an objective support it can help you see things more clearly and offer ways to cope.

Do you need or want to change your life? It has been my privilege to have facilitated the recovery of many amazing and determined individuals who have been courageous enough to face the challenges of; "Who am I? Where do I belong? What do I do next to find my purpose? If you are confronted with relationship problems, anxiety, depression, career indecision, grief or substance use, I can help you assess your strengths, develop a plan and support you in your journey to find contentment and happiness.

I believe everyone innate worthiness. Unfortunately, our lifetime experiences may cause us to feel otherwise. I believe we all have the capacity for greater self compassion, healing, and finding fulfillment in our lives. Once our burdens feel lighter and we begin to let go of old stories about ourselves, we can live more fully as our intrinsic selves . I am trained in Natural Processing, certified in EMDR as well as Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and EquiLateral EMDR.

Life often throws us curveballs. These could be relationship difficulties, death of a loved one, stress at work, or struggles related to past trauma, depression, anxiety or life transitions. Perhaps your little one is showing behavioral struggles and he is falling behind in school, or you need help navigating a new adoption, or foster child. I will tailor my therapeutic technique to you. It is my job to listen, learn about your individual situation and provide you with the tools, techniques or resources to help; whether through psychoeducation, dialogue, coaching, or homework.

I strive to meet my clients where they are at without judgment or expectation; to offer a guiding light in the storms of life and provide a safe harbor.

To heal is to touch with love that which was previously touched by fear. We all have times when we need extra support to work through life's challenges.

Together we will work to empower you to put your needs first and take steps to reach your goals.

“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” (Carl Rodgers) We can’t change what we do not explore and the first step in the direction of that journey is always the hardest. But you are here already taking that step, looking for someone to assist with the change that you seek. Everyday life can be in the way of focusing on healing from our past, management of stress/mental health issues and making changes for our future. Setting aside time for yourself is important! You are important!

Do you feel lost in a situation? Struggling to have satisfying relationships? At the cross roads and do not know which way to turn? Ever wake up with the mood "why bother" and go back to sleep?

Do you avoid situations because anxiety impacts you physically? We all have blocks in our life as we strive to attain a positive peaceful energy flow. My services are designed to identify, heal, plan, focus and execute those blocks while attaining goals

Life and relational events can impact us in ways we couldn’t have imagined and at times we least expect it. These events can elicit parts of us that experience confusion, anxiety, overwhelm, and sadness or lead us to fall into patterns that may not make sense.

I recognize that your goals are unique to you and are honored in the therapeutic process.

I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience. I specialize in working with adults who have experienced trauma and/or adversity, at any point in their life, which continues to create significant disturbance in the present. I view most psychological symptoms through the lens of trauma and offer treatment that integrates several methods that have been found to be effective at healing from trauma, such as EMDR, somatic experiencing, sensorimotor psychotherapy, ego state work and attachment-based therapy.

My theoretical orientation and practice combine current and research-based models that include Psychodynamic, Existential/ Humanistic, Family Systems, Behavioral, and Cognitive Behavioral foundations for case conceptualization, patient development, and the betterment of each person in their relation to others. My approach emphasizes a strength-based perspective that takes into consideration the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors that influence each patient and their relationships, as well as how the larger community or society impacts the presenting concern and situation.

The decision to seek help for a problem is often a difficult one. People pursue therapy for a variety of reasons. Some may enter therapy to address major life changes, such as becoming a parent, and others may seek help in managing mental health conditions, like depression. Many people seek counseling because they have identified specific goals or issues that they wish to work on. Others may be encouraged by family, friends, or medical professionals to seek help. Whatever the motivation, it takes courage to attend therapy, and it takes dedication to see it through.

When working with clients, I use an eclectic approach, which means that I am schooled in many theoretical orientations and have mastered an infinite number of skills. I draw from the knowledge I possess to adapt my approach to the person or people in front of me. I believe that the most important part of the therapeutic process is the relationship between the therapist and the client/clients. Building rapport and establishing a relationship based on acceptance, empathy, honesty, safety and trust with my clients is my first priority as the therapist. One of my innate skills is being non-judgmental.
