Therapists in Round Lake, NY

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.

WELCOME! If you have never felt at completely ease/fully understood by your therapist, or have felt reluctant to try therapy for the first time, I especially encourage you to contact our practice. We love observing relief wash over you as your hope begins to be restored. Our top priority is to hear you, see you, and never judge you before any clinical assessment/recommendation is made/communicated to you. It is my personal promise that you will feel that your personality, strengths, and preferences are known and understood under our care. With that in mind, you can always feel secure and supported when we discuss your challenges.

Establishing yourself, and your identity, is a lifelong process. You are not alone when you face questions including: Who am I? What is my purpose? Who do I want in my life? What do I stand for? Why am I here? When we consider these questions, along with countless others branching from these, you might find yourself overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or frustrated. Attempting to navigate this process, you may face societal expectations, dysfunctional family dynamics, economic challenges or other stressors operating against you. While desire to be stable, authentic, and true to self is shared, your story will always be unique.

Do you find yourself feeling sad, lonely, depressed, anxious and isolated? Do you find yourself asking "how did I get here in my life?" The truth is we all ask ourselves this question in different ways. My goal is too help you find your way back to a life that you enjoy. After major life changes, some we created, and others that we could not control, we are left to pick up the pieces of our lives and put our lives back together again. However, the pieces never quite fit back together in the same way. The picture looks different. The experience feels different.

I have worked with children, adolescents and adults with various emotional and mental health needs. My career began working with at-risk youth suffering from severe emotional disturbances. I later began working with children and families within their homes to secure a healthy balance of support and resources, while enhancing their sense of self. I enjoy working with individuals, families and couples. I am open to networking with any provider (i.e., teachers, primary care physicians, psychiatrists,etc.) that are involved in one's care. I believe in helping individuals identify their strengths and incorporating these strengths into their daily lives.

Are you in a place of transition in your life? I understand that life can be full of planned and unplanned change. Maybe you want to get a new perspective on your life. I enjoy providing the support individuals need to move forward and find the peace they seek. In my practice, I address relationship, career, health, and family issues with clients of all ages. As a Christian therapist, I provide respectful and non-judgmental therapy in an environment where you can explore your concerns securely and confidentially. I understand that when you are in conflict about what to do, it helps to have an unbiased person to hear your thoughts.

Our practice style to health and wellness is holistic, providing client education on lifestyle changes, emphasizing the interdependence between mind, body, and spirit for optimal well-being. Our therapist strive to provide quality treatment customized to each client's individuals needs. They employ a variety of therapeutic techniques which includes a humanistic approach, energy psychology techniques, mindfulness, CBT, EFT, and Reiki. Experienced with highly empathic /sensitive people (HSP) and kink allied individuals; with concerns ranging from anxiety, depression, complex trauma, life transitions and relationship issues.

Feelings can be hard to sort through on your own and also confusing. Having a special therapeutic relationship to address, identify and process unresolved emotions, unpleasant memories, intrusive thoughts and chronic feelings of hopelessness can make a huge difference in ones' life. A specialized plan tailored to meet your own needs and goals is first and foremost.

My hope is to provide all the people I work with a safe space to talk and time to focus on themselves. I work with people who are trying to cope with day to day challenges. This includes managing stress related to school or work, navigating life transitions, and interpersonal conflict.

This endeavor has been marked by a commitment to understanding, supporting, and empowering those I serve. Each day, I draw upon my depth of knowledge and genuine empathy to facilitate positive change in the lives of others, fostering resilience and facilitating growth.

At some point, we all experience tough times. Coping skills falter, feelings may be intense, and we can’t visualize the way forward. If this is where you find yourself, I can help. My practice focuses on clients navigating periods of distress or unexpected change. If you're dealing with loss, life transition, or simply a “rough patch”, I offer support and guidance. My approach is flexible, welcoming, and compassionate. We sort things through together. You'll find that coping skills improve, emotions become manageable, and you understand yourself better. Most importantly, you’ll gain an increased sense of hope.
