Family Therapy in Yates County, NY

You or a loved one may feel overwhelmed, anxious, sad, or needing to work through past events. As a marriage and family therapist, I offer guidance to couples, families and individuals, who are dealing with issues that affect their mental health and well-being. I believe that providing compassion, a safe space and the efficacy-based treatment for couples and individuals that will help you heal. I assist premarital couples as Prepare & Enrich facilitator. I use techniques such as play therapy, when working with younger children, because I understand that children may not have the words to express their emotions.

My practice focuses on individuals and couples, ranging in age from 18 to elderly. I strive to create a safe environment in which to explore life stressors, patterns of relating with others, and how past experiences impact the present. Areas of professional practice include anxiety/depression, chronic illness including HIV, grief/loss, relationships, sexual issues, separation/divorce, LGBTQ, family planning, career transition, and finances. I have extensive experience with addictions, and work collaboratively with clients, whether the goal is safer substance use, reducing use, or abstinence.

Together, in a compassionate, safe, collaborative environment, we will create a positive path towards your well-being and success, whether you’re on a healing journey or looking to gain more achievements. I have over 16 years of experience working with individuals, families, couples and groups. I work with everyone across the lifespan from ages 5 years on up.

Situations change, but the same painful emotions can occur repeatedly, regardless of the content of the situation. Over 30 years experience with individual, couple, child, adolescent and family therapy, grounded in a Bowen Family Systems Theory framework. Research and extensive training in Bowen Family Systems Theory through Syracuse University (Syracuse, N.Y.) and The Bowen Center for the Study of the Family (Washington, D.C.).

Everyone needs a different perspective at one point or another. I invite you to bring your old strengths into a new perspective to improve current issues you face in your life. You may come to gain a viewpoint outside of your current network of friends and family, and to take a look at your own perspective. By gaining new insight, you will find ways to make positive change and cope with whatever it is you carry with you through the door. Together we can, through talk therapy, explore how you can become the healthiest you.

Maybe you have already tried traditional talk therapy and wish to explore and know yourself on a deeper level. Maybe you feel like you are carrying past burdens and have a desire to be free from the burdens and traumas of the past. Others may desire a need to identify patterns in behavior and relationships, understand difficult emotions, or challenges that arise with partners, family, or at work. If any of this sounds familiar and if you desire to gain clarity in any of these areas, Internal family systems may be a good fit for you.

Are you hoping to find support to regulate your emotions and feelings and navigate feelings of overwhelm. Are you a parent that is challenged by the day to day stressors of life with an active family? You may even be the parent of an extraordinary child with special needs or emotional challenges of their own. I understand and have experienced the emotional challenges of parenting and family life. I work with children, adults, couples, and families, together we cultivate improvements in shared understanding, emotional regulation, and behavior. We will nurture emotional wellness through self compassion and trusting relationships.

Healing and growth happen when you feel safe and supported. In our therapeutic space, you can expect to feel heard, respected, and understood. I will partner with you and draw upon your strengths in a warm, nonjudgmental, and curious way to achieve lasting, meaningful change. Being a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist helps me appreciate that relationships matter and impact your well-being. I will use the context of your family and other important relational systems such as school, work, and your community to get to know you better and help you reach your goals.

Many of us find ourselves at transition points in our lives, or feeling stuck and not sure what to do next. Although life may seem pretty normal, maybe you often feel afraid, numb, agitated, or deeply sad. You may consider your problems as not that bad compared to others. If you feel stuck or lost, I am here to explore the dark spaces with you and to look for the light. I will be a witness and a compassionate guide on the journey to deeper self-knowledge and relationship satisfaction.

My clients come to see me seeking assistance for a wide variety of issues related to anxiety, depression, mental/physical illness, grief and loss, trauma, stress, and unexplained anger. I believe in exploring issues from a family perspective; where did you come from and how did you come to be who, and how, you are? When you struggle in your life, it can sometimes become too easy to focus solely on what is wrong, forgetting what is right. Working together, you can get back on the right path.
