Emotionally Focused Therapists in Hamburg, NY

The struggles of daily life can get in the way of what truly matters, relationships with the people you love most. With the right approach, we can get you back on track. I’m trained to work with conflict, poor communication, lack of intimacy, resentment, effective parenting strategies and more.

You deserve to feel better - to enjoy this life. I provide a confidential space for active exploration, fostering alignment and wellness. Through self-reflection, we'll navigate intense feelings and symptoms, embracing new coping strategies. My approach is rooted in the understanding that emotional suffering is woven into our lives as a consequence of adverse experiences, transgenerational inheritance, and injurious cultural standards. I also support individuals through psychedelic and ketamine-assisted therapy, offering a safe, supportive environment for healing and integration. Note: I do not provide medication.

“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” (Carl Rodgers) We can’t change what we do not explore and the first step in the direction of that journey is always the hardest. But you are here already taking that step, looking for someone to assist with the change that you seek. Everyday life can be in the way of focusing on healing from our past, management of stress/mental health issues and making changes for our future. Setting aside time for yourself is important! You are important!

I approach each person with a deep sense of reverence & respect! My primary goal is to create a welcoming environment in which you feel safe, comfortable, and accepted for who you are; this is essential for effective therapy. I view each person as a whole rather than focusing on their isolated parts. While I recognize the individuality & uniqueness of each person's needs, problems, and concerns, I address issues with the whole person in mind, taking into account all the dimensions of human life: physical, mental, emotional, and relational. My ultimate goal in therapy is to facilitate growth into wholeness & harmonious integration

Counseling is a valuable investment in you. People seek it out for different reasons. Whatever your situation, I’ll be pleased to meet you and sort out the best ways I can support you in achieving your goals. My focus as a counselor is person-centered, trauma- informed and strengths-based. Those are social work terms that mean I want to understand you and your unique story to help you use and build on strengths you might not even know you already have so you can have the life you want. The types of counseling I have special training in can be used to help in a variety of situations. Let’s get together to see what we can figure out.

Hello. If you are reading this, chances are very good that you are seeking to make changes in your relationship. I know how difficult it can be to share personal details with a stranger. It is my belief that every couple who seeks assistance is unique. Methods of treatment honor the individual and couple relationship. Couples therapy is not about right or wrong, but about perspective and patterns that may not be working. When we gain insight and develop communication skills that serve us we have healthier relationships. Relationship counseling is an investment in current relationships and complete health of the family.

Life doesn’t always go the way we planned. Sometimes we get stuck and find ourselves feeling hopeless. You are not alone. Many people I work with have had negative experiences in their lives that continue to affect them in different ways; such as, having meaningful relationships with others. Some people say that fear and worry run their lives. Whatever it may be, I will help you gain insight into your problems and learn new ways to resolve conflicts, develop more confidence, and begin to live the life you want.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck on the past, or unsure of why we feel the way we do can impact how we face the day, interact with others, and view ourselves. I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, or are needing support through life changes. Additionally, I’m dedicated to supporting new parents and parents-to-be. As a mother of a young child, I understand the challenges and stress surrounding the journey to motherhood as well as the postpartum and new mom stage.

Life events can impact us in ways we couldn’t have imagined and at times we least expect it. These events can elicit parts of us that experience confusion, anxiety, overwhelm, and sadness or lead us to fall into patterns that may not make sense. Perhaps you’d like support to bring a sense of clarity, connection, and confidence within yourself and within your relationships, or to develop and heighten a passion and vitality for life. I recognize that your goals are unique to you and are honored in the therapeutic process.

I help adults and teens achieve wellness so that they can lead a confident life without sacrificing their mental wellbeing. When we face new situations such as adjusting to a new relationship, losing someone we care about, making a career change, deciding to go to school, or moving, sometimes it feels overburdening. Feelings of anxiety and depression find their way in and we feel stuck. Beginning your journey in counseling can seem daunting but taking care of our minds is as important as taking care of our bodies.
