Therapists in Wolcott, NY

At Arise & Shine Counseling, I firmly believe that not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. It is my hope that our partnership will reinforce the understanding that asking for help is a symbol of strength. I will partner with you and guide you through the barriers of depression, anxiety, trauma, codependency, and relationship challenges.

Do you feel like you are constantly triggered by "ordinary life"? Panic attacks? Insomnia? Destructive behaviors? Mood swings? Hypervigilance or mistrust? Loss of memory? Feelings of worthlessness or shame? Loss of sense of self? Feeling numb or detaching from relationships? Do you wish you could "change the channel" in your mind? Maybe you have been in a holding pattern of "bad or abusive" relationships and are seeking ways to recognize red flags and break patterns of codependency.

I have been in private practice for over 15 years and have worked in the human services field for 30+ years. My style of practice is relaxed, welcoming , and patient, and I am always conscious of the effort and energy it can take to reach out for help!

I believe that people are resilient. I am committed to partnering with my clients to find the best approach for a positive outcome.

We all experience struggles throughout our life. Are you or a family member feeling overwhelmed or struggling with depression, anxiety, relationships, career, family issues, or current circumstances?
