Therapists in Olivebridge, NY

There is something so valuable about every person having a space that is their own, and to feel safe enough to say and feel whatever comes up for them in that space. I work from these core beliefs: That curiosity leads to understanding, creativity + play can heal, and comfort is something many of us could use more of these days.

I work with adults who are experiencing issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, relationship and family concerns, academic stressors (including transitioning into higher education), and identity development. From a trauma-informed lens, I will work with you collaboratively to understand your experiences - your joy, your pain, your struggles, and your goals and aspirations. I am a great match for anyone with a desire to get to know themselves and get to know the many parts that make up who we are and influence how we live. Together we'll help you continue along on your journey - wherever that may take you!

Do you struggle with challenging emotions or symptoms of trauma? With over 30 years experience working with children, teens and adults, my attachment based approach combines didactic and somatic approaches to best fit the needs of every client.

Welcome! I am a psychotherapist striving to deliver high-quality therapy that is holistic and tailored to you. My priority is providing a safe and comfortable therapeutic relationship.
