Therapists in Binghamton, NY

Do you find that you are having difficulty managing stress and day to day problems? If so, I have over thirteen years of clinical experience and offer therapeutic services to adolescents and adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, relatioship problems, self-esteem issues, and work related problems. I will work with you, support you and help you to identify solutions to your problems.

I have enjoyed providing psychotherapy and pastoral counseling services for over 30 years. There is nothing more gratifying than helping a person move through dark and difficult situations, leading them to a place where life works again. There is hope! I have a rich educational background in both psychotherapy and pastoral counseling. I received my graduate degrees from the State University of New York at Albany and Yale University. I've discovered that a healthy psychological self and a healthy spiritual self are based upon the same principles, showing kindness, compassion, warmth, and deep understanding to oneself and others.

I have been doing counseling and psychotherapy for over thirty years. I enjoy working with individuals and will include their significant others, including spouse, partners, family members, friends and (yes) pets. As I see it, my job as a therapist is to work with you to create an environment in which you will feel emotionally safe, and one in which you can feel OK talking about all aspects of yourself. This allows us to use your personal strengths and resources to resolve your difficultes so you can become more like the person you want to be.

Living in an increasingly complicated world with seemingly unlimited choices about “the right way to be” can lead us to feel lost, alienated, and overwhelmed. Looking inwardly at our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors can be confusing and challenging. My goal is to help you to be able to see yourself openly, honestly, and without judgment in order to heal and grow. From this vantage point, we can work together to develop clear goals and construct a caring path for change.

Are you a teacher, administrator, or school staff who feels stressed, overwhelmed, and a little burnt out?

I also understand that being an educator today is emotionally demanding.

The Bridge Therapy's mental health practice understands the desire for privacy and the assurances we all need when we reach out for help. Our professional services are direct, client centered and treatment-focused. We feel confident that they are the type of services that can help folks get better as they are getting well. I believe that a person’s innate self-healing is cultivated and activated by relationships, resources, dialogue, respect, and care. My belief is that personal healing and success can mean life doesn’t always feel that hard, that it may feel easier, and that some comfort and relief might be felt.

Being human most of us have experienced trauma of various degrees throughout our lives. It may create distress in our personal and our professional lives causing loss, anxiety, depression and many other forms of physical and emotional pain. We want relief from these issues so we can gain fulfillment in our relationships, a purpose to live, and a sense of peace and well-being. If we can only become aware of what makes us think, feel and react the way we do, maybe we can figure out what we can control and deal with what we can't.
