Therapists in Catskill, NY

Many of my clients relate to the experience of feeling "othered", different or as existing outside of culturally-constructed margins. In our increasingly isolationist world, feeling different or other is becoming a common experience. While many things may remind us of our difference, or "non-normativity", in therapy I aim to collaboratively uncover and identify the worth and purpose that I believe exist in all humxn beings. I believe that all concerns, struggles, challenges, curiosities and explorations brought to therapy are related to relationships--the relationship we have with ourselves and other people. Often, clients express a need for deep connection and goals involve enhancing relationships, identifying emotions, coping more effectively with emotions, and nourishing self-worth and confidence. Research on therapeutic effectiveness has repeatedly demonstrated that therapeutic relationship is the principle determinant of positive therapeutic outcome. Thus, when I first meet clients, client-therapist relationship and chemistry is the primary emphasis and catalyst for change.

I have several years of experience helping clients with an array of challenges. My clients are teenagers and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and drug and alcohol dependency and abuse.

Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery. Through our work together, you will gain a clearer understanding of yourself by putting your thoughts and feelings into words. My style is interactive and collaborative and my aim is to create an environment of safety that nurtures psychological healing. I have over 10 years of experience treating adults and adolescents in individual, family and couples' therapy. I work with people who struggle with relationship issues, fears, anxiety, anger management, depression, trauma and low self-esteem. My goal is to help you develop a stronger sense of self-awareness, enhance communication skills and improve interpersonal relationships.
