Therapists in Stormville, NY

Living with anxiety and/or trauma is SO hard, especially if you find yourself repeating patterns in your relationships or you're experiencing the same outcomes day in and out. Lets work together to get to the bottom of your biggest challenges and help you live the life you want to live. I believe clients are the expert of their life and I love helping folks learn to trust their inner wisdom. Each of my clients receive treatment customized to their own unique needs and strengths. I use a combination of evidence based approaches including CBT, DBT, mindfulness and somatic exercises. My goal is to help you feel seen and heard.

Welcome. I realize how hard it can be to take the step and seek therapy, and I’m so glad you’re here. There are times we can feel lost, stuck, sad, anxious and overindulge in eating or spending money; but, believe it or not, these ways our body is warning us and trying to protect us. I work with women in various stages of life. Whether you’re a mom struggling with balancing your own emotions, while working tirelessly to also help co-regulate your own children; or a woman without kids, struggling with the everyday demands of seeking work/life balance; or a young adult just getting started, and transitioning from “kid" to "adult.”

PVMHC has a variety of highly trained clinicians who treat many clients including those with; anxiety, depression, postpartum, trauma, gender dysphoria, learning disabilities, ADHD, & more. We work to build long-term relationships, offer fast/flexible scheduling, and aim to make each session as beneficial as possible for you.

We offer a safe virtual space for you to understand your needs, set goals, and incorporate beneficial coping skills into your daily life.

You are strong, stronger then you may know. You are capable and you have already taken the first step to feeling better by searching for a therapist. It is one of the greatest honors in my life to be able to encourage and support people along their journey of healing and growth. I firmly believe that everyone holds within them the strength and ability to achieve their desired goals, no matter how big or how small. I specialize in working with adult individuals, couples and families. No judgments, no pressure, and no negativity.

I understand the impact that culture, traditional values, and generational trauma can have on our day to day functioning and our ability to form healthy/secure relationships. I strive to work collaboratively with my clients to identify behavior patterns keeping them stuck, learn to set healthy boundaries with others, and challenge negative thinking patterns. Using a psychodynamic and attachment-based approach, I offer a judgement free space to sort through the complexities of your relationships and feelings.

As humans, we tend to avoid our more difficult and complex emotions in hopes that they will disappear. However, it is more often the case that the feelings we turn inward find their way out, and sometimes in a less-than-ideal way. Therapy is a unique space to explore the parts of you that tend to stay hidden. It is a space to “look beneath the hood” to understand more fully who you are and "why" you are. With this newfound insight, we can explore ways for you to engage more fully in your life and relationships, dig into your sense of purpose, and reconnect with (or discover for the first time) feelings of stillness and joy.

I believe that therapy is a space for us to tackle life’s difficulties as well as celebrate life, find joy, and build self-compassion. I provide empathic, nonjudgmental psychotherapy, focused on deepening a sense of self-awareness, gaining insight into your emotional experiences, and empowering you to live a more fulfilling life. My therapeutic approach is rooted in relational and attachment-based theories. I frequently use humanistic, and behavioral interventions tailored to meet the needs of the individual or couple I am working with. I strive to create authentic and collaborative relationships with everyone I work with.

As a therapist specializing in children, teens, and adults, I utilize a range of modalities including CBT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, and Somatic interventions. With children, I employ attachment-based models, working closely with parents, to address anxiety and tantrums, fostering resilience and healthy development. When working with teens and adults, I delve into root causes while simultaneously enhancing coping skills to improve overall functioning. Each intervention is tailored to the individual's needs, ensuring a comprehensive approach to therapy.

In an era where we’re bombarded with self-love messaging from all sides, too many of us are left to struggle with the nagging question: “But how do I love myself?” Some of us—especially those carrying marginalized identities—were never taught. Instead, we were given life scripts urging us to make ourselves small and focus solely on the ways we come up short. The fact that you’ve taken this step to find support is a pivotal moment; you’re acknowledging that you deserve better, and you’re willing to do the work to get there. I’d love to help you with that.

Individuals and couples who see me for therapy are typically dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, a low sense of self-worth, grief, and/or trauma. They are struggling to take risks with vulnerability, to process loss, set boundaries, understand the power of no, discern safe spaces, and build trust. Many of my patients are challenged by the stories their anxiety tells them, negative self-talk, sadness that makes it difficult to effectively process their thoughts and feelings, and previous traumatic experiences or vicarious exposure to trauma.
