Therapists in Cold Spring, NY

At The Sexuality, Attachment, and Trauma Project, we provide identity-affirming care for all communities. Our patients are people, not problems, and we work with each person differently. We treat a range of issues related to sexuality and gender. These include out-of-control sexual behavior, sometimes labeled sex addiction (although we’re not fans of labels). Patients also come to us for intimacy anxiety, sexual compulsivity, gender and orientation confusion, LGBTQ+ issues, and family trauma.

Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery. Through our work together, you will gain a clearer understanding of yourself by putting your thoughts and feelings into words. My style is interactive and collaborative and my aim is to create an environment of safety that nurtures psychological healing. I have over 10 years of experience treating adults and adolescents in individual, family and couples' therapy. I work with people who struggle with relationship issues, fears, anxiety, anger management, depression, trauma and low self-esteem. My goal is to help you develop a stronger sense of self-awareness, enhance communication skills and improve interpersonal relationships.

Affirming queer identity is an essential part of my practice as is social justice and liberation from oppressive systems. With a focus on mental health, trauma, and substance use within the LGBTQ community, I work primarily with queer, transgender, and gender non-conforming people of color. Our work together is focused on your needs and goals. Through my background as a writer, I understand the value of a supportive space to explore feelings. In our sessions, you'll find a safe environment for self-expression and personal reflection. From this foundation, insights emerge and growth takes place.

Thank you for visiting my page! I offer a mixture of talk therapy, hypnotherapy, EMDR, and Reiki. I take a holistic approach, see my work as a partnership, and believe that every person has the tools and wisdom within to be happy.
