Therapists in Cazenovia, NY

I offer brief and long-term intensive psychodynamic psychotherapy to individuals struggling with anxiety and depression, family of origin issues, and identity, personality, attachment, and adjustment disorders. I help patients identify and work through the underlying and often hidden causes of self defeating behaviors, lack of fulfillment in love and sexual life, work inhibition, and chronic health problems. Patients find that greater self-understanding improves everyday functioning, relieves symptoms of emotional distress, and helps them have better relationships in their personal and professional lives.

Therapy is a sacred space for exploring your your life, identity, relationships, struggles, and aspirations. There is no other relationship space like it, one designed specifically to create and support your mental health. In times of pain and/or challenging life circumstances it provides support, validation and guidance. Throughout this process, a priority is placed on building resilience. The “doing” piece of the therapy includes skills, problem-solving, healthy coping strategies, effective navigation of relationships and goal-oriented actions.

Collaborating with you in a safe, relaxed and compassionate space and understanding what you need is key to the therapeutic relationship. Every individual is unique and their issues are not the same. Focusing on the person and not the problem, I offer a strength based perspective where I strive to create a space where clients can openly share, disagree, explore, learn strategies and challenge themselves to live their best life each day. I have deep respect for the courage it takes to make the initial contact and engage in therapy and I will advocate for you and support you through.
