Narrative Therapists in Unadilla, NY

In 20 years as a psychologist, I find healing and emotional growth start with developing a compassionate understanding of your life story and current circumstances. I focus on strengths and capabilities as the foundation for your growth and empowerment. I will regard you as the expert of your life and partner with you to develop treatment goals and approaches. I will focus on your emotional needs and help you develop skills for healthy relationships and better functioning in your life. I will also directly address the negative effects of oppression and discrimination as it impacts your mental health.

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.

Awareness is the first step towards making change. Do you find yourself facing the same repeated challenges? Are you noticing continued unhelpful patterns in your life? Are you looking to make personal and professional changes? I aim to help you garner a level of awareness and then become more deliberate about the words you choose, the thoughts you think, and the actions you take. Depression and anxiety may have a grip on you, but together we can put the reins of life back in your hands.

Does anxiety, stress, and/or depression have you longing for positive change and reconnection to the world? I am a licensed psychotherapist helping adults find balance and direction in their personal and professional lives. I will guide your discovery of yourself, helping you to blossom into a more fulfilled human being. Most of my current patients and clients are struggling with anxiety, depression, poor body image, difficult relationships, or past trauma. We can work towards goals of healthy relationships, personal growth, job changes, parenthood, and overall life satisfaction. Together, we journey towards mental health and wellness.

Are you seeking personal growth and empowerment? As a therapist with a focus on supporting women, I'll help you increase self-confidence and establish healthy boundaries. Through the therapeutic process we'll uncover the details of your story, both where you've been, and the details of where you're at right now. Telling your story enables you to reconnect with your own desires and needs. Your unique story matters, and I'm here to listen and support you every step of the way. Together we'll unlock your inner strength, enhance your self-worth, and start to write the story of your future.

Grief shatters life as you know it; the challenge is in putting it back together. Your healing begins with your story. Tell me what happened, how you feel. Let's look at your relationships and who you are as a result. I will listen, sit with you in compassionate presence as you uncover your own personal skills, and guide you through this transition. You can rebuild your life into a comfortable shape while honoring your connections to the past. I can help you find your way back to wholeness. Loss can be transformed.

“We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”—Joan Didion Sometimes life takes a bad turn. Sometimes something awful happens and we need to learn to cope. Sometimes we find ourselves in a veritable dark wood, bereft of hope, looking for some way out. Often we try things that don't work, or that work all too well, or that bring further trouble and suffering into our lives. We struggle with work, relationships, our health, money, and, most importantly, making sense of our struggles, so mired are we in the everyday grind of existence.

Welcome to a safe space where your trauma is acknowledged, understood, and supported. Trauma is not just a single event; it's a profound shift that can impact every aspect of your life. The self-blame, shame, and strain on relationships that often accompany trauma are valid experiences. It's common for survivors to struggle with defining themselves beyond their past. But remember, you are more than your experiences. You deserve to rewrite your narrative and not bear the burden alone. Your voice matters, your feelings are valid, and you deserve the opportunity to heal and thrive.

If you are dealing with anxiety, poor body image, trust or intimacy issues, suicidal thoughts, mood swings, a complicated relationship with eating, and recent or past traumas, I want you to know that feeling grounded and connected is within reach. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families with these exact concerns for years. Your life's problems may seem impossible or difficult to overcome, and you may feel anxious about "explaining it all" to a therapist who is also a stranger. My goal is to lay those fears to rest.

As a Black, queer, Caribbean/LatinX individual who practices therapy from a non-oppressive and radically authentic lens I draw on over ten years of experience working with women, children and communities of color around topics of equity, sexuality, education, LGBTQ+, and trauma. I use my knowledge and background to analyze issues with a strong understanding of the systems, personal history and survival skills that influence your identity today. I am interested in understanding 'personal language' (emotions and perspective) to address the current design of your relationships and encourage transformations better suited for your goals

From this perspective, I strive to understand your needs and work collaboratively with you to create a space where you can feel supported, heard, and cared for.

Counseling works best when the focus is on getting back to yourself. It is a space to seek guidance, introspection, and wellness all geared around your own unique strengths, interests, and needs. Counseling is not about "fixing" you, it's about exploring and connecting with your own capabilities to bring you the wellness you deserve.
