Medicare Therapists in Chenango County, NY

Have you ever felt like you just couldn’t move forward? Like you’re being held down by the past and just can’t seem to move on? You want to take risks and get out into the world but are worried that anything that can go wrong will go wrong. When people ask what’s wrong, you can’t explain it, but you know that your struggles are real. There’s so much that you want to enjoy, but you’re held back because you don’t know if you can handle it. Sometimes nothing sounds better than to curl up into a ball and hide away. And yet you are expected to continue with your daily life as if there is nothing wrong. But there is hope.

Have you ever just wanted to stop? Have you ever wanted to stop managing other peoples problems for them?

When life becomes more of a mystery to embrace than a series of problems to solve, a shift or crack occurs in our perspective. This crack allows the light and miracle of peace and intimacy to gently blossom. Leaning into mystery and discovering intimacy has been at the core of both my personal and professional journey. Of course, life is always going to be a series of problems to solve. That’s the content of our lives. But when mystery is the lens or context from which these problems are viewed, the problems look and feel differently. We start noticing options. Transformation becomes accessible.

I began my work as a therapist in community mental health where I saw a wide variety of individuals with an assortment of problems. I've never stopped feeling honored by the bravery and trust it takes for my clients to share their stories and embark on the difficult process of change.

I work with individuals: young adults to seniors. Want more productive communication, have anger subside, grief mourned, and misunderstandings clarified; as well as a less antagonistic and stressful ways to live? As a psychotherapist, coach, and workshop facilitator, I offer a rich, experienced perspective. I work with people in ways that will be meaningful to them. I integrate many different approaches, an intuitive sense; and a hands-on, action-oriented approach that's road tested and shown to produce results. Career/Life Transitions. Coping with Chronic Illness, and as well as dealing with emotional challenges are specialties.

I am a warm, affirming, and empowering therapist. I graduated from Columbia University with a Master’s of Science Degree in Clinical Practice of Social Work. I found my nitch after completing undergraduate in Early Childhood Education (kudos to our teachers!) and Sociology/Psychology. These experiences paved the way to my clinical social work journey. I obtained clinical licensure by working with adolescents in both school and therapeutic settings, foster/adoptive families, and adults with serious persistent mental illness.

Currently, I only have Monday morning appointments available. Have you been thinking about counseling for awhile? It's not uncommon for people to consider getting help for months before they make the first call. But remember, counseling is just people talking to each other. My goal is to help you to feel comfortable. I strive to create a non-judgmental atmosphere where people can develop the insights and skills they need to grow. My approach to counseling is down to earth and practical. I use a solution-focused approach that builds on the strengths already present in my clients.

Crucial to my work is helping people to find what works for them; it's not always easy to figure out the best path in life or in therapy. If I can't be of optimal help, I always offer other resources. I establish a partnership and offer suggestions of alternative behaviors to try between sessions. My goal is not compliance with the suggestions, but awareness of the experience of either trying the new behavior or considering it and rejecting it. Either way, we learn.
