Codependency Therapists in Stone Ridge, NY

COMPASSIONATE TRANSFORMATION: I have well over 35 years of clinical experience. I Gently help people Transform Trauma, Emotional Wounding and Suffering into Profound Healing, Self Love, Compassion and Well-Being. I help my clients release thoughts and perceptions that create suffering and guide them to deeply tune into their own inner knowing and express their true voice. I use a combination of modalities including EMDR and Somatic Experiencing.

Are you stuck? This is most frequently the concern expressed by the adults, couples, and groups with whom I work; though the reasons are varied: burnout, careers, relationships, goal setting, self-confidence, lack of direction, and a lack of overall wellbeing. Together, we will identify a new path forward; increasing happiness and moving toward a brighter tomorrow. Our partnership utilizes the frameworks of positive psychology and cognitive approaches to harness your strengths and assets to create an optimistic and hope-filled foundation for change.

As a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) I believe that creativity and access to our imagination is an essential tool for self-discovery, transformation and health. When we become stuck in life, these tend to be the first tools that we lose access to. I have a body-centered, trauma-informed, holistic and individualized approach that also recognizes that we are each impacted by the communities and systems that we are part of. I enjoy collaborating with clients to help you find agency in your own healing process and become your own visionary in hard times.

Are you feeling stuck and like the tools you have just aren’t cutting it anymore? Have you been struggling to align your head & heart? I get it. We’re all in this together and none of us are absolved of life's challenges. You deserve to receive nonjudgmental and effective support, just as we all do. As your therapist, I will provide a safe space where you can feel empowered to face whatever is going on for you. Together we will work as partners to support you in growing, coping, and healing in ways that honor your life experience and inherent strengths.

There is something so valuable about every person having a space that is their own, and to feel safe enough to say and feel whatever comes up for them in that space. I work from these core beliefs: That curiosity leads to understanding, creativity + play can heal, and comfort is something many of us could use more of these days.

I am passionate about my work as a therapist and coach and deeply committed to supporting people to live from the fullness of who they are. My work is informed by my gestalt training and feminine power leadership coaching training with over 30 years experience in other somatic and experiential disciplines. I am interested in working with people who are committed to a process of awakening to their fullest potential and aligning with their authentic essential nature. My approach seeks to shift us from a place of isolation to one of connection and collaboration through embodied relational engagement.

You are ready to celebrate the full you. You dream of moving beyond whatever is keeping you stuck in unhealthy patterns. You are tired of trying to fit into a world that was not designed for you. You want to respond instead of react, improve your connection to others, and be grounded in your body. Even when some areas of your life are going okay, things still feel hard. You may have tried therapy many times before but it never seems "to work" and you are ready to try something new.

Our reactions to the world are influenced by our experiences. For me it’s meant transitioning from city life in Brooklyn & NYC to quieter moves upstate in the Hudson Valley; it’s meant growing from a young adult into family life & active mother of 3; and changing gears to be able to support and treat youngsters and adults in a way that best serves each of them. I've spent most of my career servicing children, teens and their families in emotional, behavioral, academic & psychiatric capacities. I've supported kids and teens through mental illness, trauma, developmental delays, learning issues,

Children, adolescents and adults facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and personality disorders have been my patients, and my teachers. I have been fortunate and had the opportunity to serve in a variety of settings including inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse treatment as well as my current position at a local non-profit agency. I work from a trauma-informed stance, utilizing motivational interviewing, mindfulness, play, and CBT/DBT informed therapies. With extensive experience, and a unique understanding of substance misuse, I can offer patients diverse paths to recovery, from abstinence to harm reduction.
