Family Therapy in De Witt, NY

I am set up for telepsych meetings. I am an experienced therapist who works with adults. I have a specialty in family and interpersonal relation problems. Persistent negative experiences can cascade anyone into emotional difficulty that feels overwhelming. My style listens to your personal experiences, helps you find ways create new experiences and communicate effectively where needed. Feeling supported, heard and validated are profoundly empowering and if not present in your current relationships is extremely emotionally painful and destructive. Goals:Courage to define your own integrity, recreate yourself and overcome.

I personally don't believe there is an "ideal" client. My "ideal" client is any amazing person who had the courage to walk through the doors, share their story, and work collaboratively to find healing and happiness. That is the ideal client in my humble opinion!

In my 28 years as a psychotherapist, it continues to be a humbling experience to witness my clients transform into the person they never believed they could be. I understand how difficult it is to come into therapy and why it is so important for me to build a safe and trusting relationship with you. I take a down to earth and respectful therapeutic approach to create a welcoming and healing environment. I am committed to helping my clients become the best version of themselves by tailoring my theraputic approach to fit the unique needs of each individual, couple or family.

I believe that the therapy process should support clients in their further investment in themselves and help them to grow into the person they desire to be. This therapy process applies to the various client systems I work with, which include individuals, children, adolescents, couples, and family systems. I firmly believe that change occurs when we become aware of negative patterns/cycles; it is my role to cultivate an emotionally safe environment to allow for such exploration and restructuring.

As an experienced clinician, I am comfortable supporting clients with a variety of concerns. Working collaboratively, we will address and explore symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, overuse of alcohol, women's wellness, life transition, interpersonal relationship challenges, and family support needs. I work with adolescents and adults in a supportive environment, using a cognitive behavioral, solution-focused approach. Thank you for the opportunity to support you in creating the change and personal growth that you're seeking. I look forward to working with you.
