Therapists in Saratoga County, NY

I am here to hold space for you, support you, challenge you, and empower you while taking a trauma-informed, non-judgmental, and solution focused approach whether you are struggling with your mental health, relationships, life transitions, decision making, confidence, limiting beliefs, grief, goals or simply the human experience itself.

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.

Life can be hard for all of us sometimes. You try your best but maybe you just feel stuck. In addition to personal distress, we are coping with uncertain times which can complicate our challenges. With 30 years experience, I would like to help you take stock and move forward. Whether its uncovering old wounds, taming anxiety or experiencing yourself in a more positive way, we can explore the path together. Call for a free phone consultation to determine if we're a good fit.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for 40 years. Throughout all of my years in practice, I have been amazed by the resilience of the human spirit. I work with clients who have endured and survived traumatic histories or devastating losses, and are now presenting with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or Complex PTSD. Recovery from trauma is hard work, but with support, effective therapeutic tools, and the commitment to recover, I believe healing is possible.

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.

Hello! I love working with individuals, couples, & families experiencing relationship conflict, climate distress, life changes, coping with death or loss, or problems of anxiety, stress, or fear. I especially invite people struggling with communication, boundaries, overwhelm, low self worth, or feeling disconnected & lost in life to reach out. I offer safe connection, reflection, and expression. I listen deeply, identify core issues, & support creative healing. Together, we focus on metabolizing unresolved feelings, allowing space for emerging awareness, restoring curiosity, developing perspective, & transforming understanding.

Each of us holds within ourselves tremendous potential and an innate knowing of just what we need. I look at many symptoms as a creative, adaptive response to our environment that should be respected as such. Through positive connection with others, we can learn new ways of relating to our bodies, our spirits, and our world. I use a collaborative approach to treatment, with the belief that without your perspective and input, therapy will not be nearly as beneficial.

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.

Every baby deserves a healthy parent, and every parent deserves to feel empowered and supported during pregnancy and postpartum. If you are pregnant or have recently had a baby, this transition may be bringing along feelings of anxiety, sadness, fear, or confusion. Seeking out support is a sign of strength, and can have positive impacts on the health of the individual, the parent-child relationship, and the family as a whole.

If you want to get back to yourself or reach new heights, I know how to help. You may feel that you never reached your true potential, and struggle with managing your life. You may feel that you have lost yourself after going through a traumatic experience. Suffering with anxiety, depression, and feeling at a loss with how to get unstuck. Your marriage or primary relationships have started to suffer. You are ready to find real change. Or maybe you are just hoping to set yourself up for success personally or in your relationships. If you are looking for the added comfort of a lazy, goofy labrador retriever...

I believe that every person holds unique life experiences that cumulate to create the story of who they are. These stories provide context to how people express themselves and view the world around them. Within the therapeutic space, I seek to meet clients in a warm, non-judgmental environment, one that is guided by a holistic framework to identify what health and wellness look like for each individual. By incorporating a strengths-based approach and emphasizing acceptance, I focus on collaboratively exploring each person's story to find the balance in accepting what they cannot control and making changes in areas they can.

Are you finding this time in your life is bringing more overwhelm, anxiety, sadness anger or pain than it is joy? Does life feel very different than you imagined it would right now? Especially when our experience feels very different than what we had expected, it can bring up confusion, self doubt, & worst of all that deep down voice-criticizing, putting us down and have us wondering is it just me? Big life changes things like, starting college, getting married, pregnancy or new motherhood & more, have a way of bringing up some of these deeper held struggles and fears to surface.

After you take your first step to begin therapy, I will meet you where you are at this point in your journey. Whether you need a soft, non-judgmental space to find your footing or to gently and compassionately be held accountable for your behavior modification, I am here to help you along your journey. Together, through collaboration, we will develop a tailored, individual therapeutic plan to reach your goals.
