Lesbian Therapists in Glenmont, NY
My approach with my clients is collaborative, interactive, and respectful. I am an eclectic therapist because trauma affects each individual differently. I view the client as the expert on his/her journey and myself as a consultant or guide. I focus on releasing the shame and pain of the trauma/abuse using tools and approaches with which the client is most comfortable. Together we create as safe a space as possible so that this work may occur. I am a strong believer in skill building, empowerment and visibility as antidotes to shame, secrecy and victimization.

Over the past 24 years, I have worked with clients with a range of issues from depression and anxiety to stress and relationship issues. My clients describe me as approachable, down-to-earth and practical in my work with them. I enjoy the process of exploring what is causing distress and identifying together what needs to be done to resolve those issues, whether that be learning more effective ways of responding or working towards acceptance, or a little bit of both. I believe my clients know best what they need and I am there to guide them in that process.
