The decision to begin therapy is rarely easy, but once you begin you may be surprised by the changes that unfold. Finding a therapist who helps you feel safe, supported, and challenged is central to this process. I've been fortunate to work with a wide range of people, including those dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, sexual issues, sexual and gender identity exploration, health concerns, artistic blockages, addiction, parenting, and fertility issues.

Making the choice to seek and begin therapy is positive and courageous. It's often a valuable step toward resolving the issues that are blocking the pleasure and fulfillment you deserve. Are you feeling depressed or anxious? Poor body image? Do you have concerns about your sexual functioning? Issues with libido? Pain or discomfort with sexual activities? Having relationship difficulties? Struggling with sexual identity, orientation, or gender expression? Any or all of these can impact your overall well being. I aim to support your capacity to grow and change, feel grounded, and to live to your highest possibility!

It is easy to become overwhelmed by the sadness, anger, or anxiety we experience. During these times we often feel uncertain and insecure. My goal is to help you find balance and to restore a sense of control and inner strength. I believe it is important to listen and to be supportive as well as to provide guidance as you explore where you have been, where you are and where you hope to go. I believe it is important for you to set realistic and reasonable expectations of yourself as well as others. And to develop the communication skills that will allow you to share your thoughts and feelings in healthy and appropriate ways.

Are you tired of sitting and staring at a screen all day? What if instead of meeting with a therapist through another video call or another hour of being seated, you could meet with a therapist while walking in nature? What if you could offer your nervous system what it naturally craves during therapy sessions? Walk and Talk therapy sessions are becoming increasingly more popular and might be a good fit for you. I offer nature based Walk and Talk individual therapy sessions currently on Mondays at Long Dock Park in Beacon, NY. Walk and Talk sessions are completely optional; we can discuss your needs/interests further.

*MOBILE THERAPY SERVICE* When traditional 'mental health' services are not meeting your needs-CALL. This could be a result from a medical condition, limitations to transportation, or many other reasons that pose a barrier to meeting your emotional support needs in an office. Mobile Therapy is a way to have the service come to you and allow you the ability to mold the service in a way that would be most convenient for you. I view the therapeutic process as a journey, to achieve goals, improve your life for the better and feel that therapy should be catered to your needs.

The focus of my practice is to provide a safe place, where together we can work through any life-transition and/or challenges that may be keeping you from moving forward. Together, we will find understanding, resiliency and strength. I offer you a supportive, non-judgmental and compassionate environment. I favor a collaborative and person-centered approach. You have already taken the most difficult step by recognizing the courage involved with asking for help. I look forward to working with you.
