Therapists in Troy, 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.

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.

While it is true that most of us are products of our environment, histories, and current circumstances, we need not be forever defined or limited by them. But how do we move from merely surviving each day to thriving for the long term? Transforming relationships with family, friends, community, society, and most importantly, ourselves, can help us navigate there. If daily life seems overwhelming, unfulfilling, hopeless, or restrictive, my practice can help you clarify your values and needs, expand your coping skillset, create or deepen your connections, and build a meaningful future for your corner of the world.

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.

Ever felt like you get in your own way ? Do you feel energetically stuck in one place and feel like there is no way to move forward in life? We all have the strength to heal ourselves as long as we have a safe space to explore emotions, negative thought patterns, and unresolved trauma within the soul. It is human nature to connect with others, sometimes it takes an unbiased support system to discover your authentic self through mind, body, and spirit. Our work together will explore healing your inner world through creativity, compassion, and positive self exploration.

I grew up in the Capital Region but moved to the west coast to pursue my graduate education and ended up staying for twenty years. Now I am back in the area with an office space in downtown Troy where I offer therapy services and also conduct psychological evaluations and other consultation services. I can conduct online sessions utilizing a HIPPA compliant video platform. Lastly, I do still offer, when possible, a free consultation to answer any questions and/or determine if you feel we would be a good fit.
