Prolonged Exposure Therapy in De Witt, NY
I understand how difficult it can be for some to ask for help. Whether you're considering entering therapy for the first time, or have prior experience, the first priority is on developing a sense of safety in the therapy session. Once a trusting connection is developed, I allow the client to identify their own goals. I believe therapy is about change, but the type of change we work toward and the pace with which we work, is determined by the client. I provide support and guidance in this process.

Accepting New Clients. Authentic, respectful, accepting: I offer a therapeutic relationship and evidence-based treatment to help you live your best life. I believe that unresolved issues and problems have the power to control the direction of our lives and cause real pain. This pain can take the form of depression, anxiety, trouble regulating emotion, sleep problems and poor self esteem. Problems in relationships as well as coming to terms with loss can often be the hardest ones. Difficulties at work and questioning career choice are other important areas of our life that can be negatively effected.

On the outside, you manage. You show up. You handle responsibilities.
But inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally reactive, or stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand. You might overthink conversations, struggle with mood shifts, avoid difficult situations or rely on old habits just to get through stressful days. You’re not broken. You’re likely doing the best you can with the tools you have. What you may need isn’t more pressure- it’s support, clarity, and space to slow down and understand what’s happening beneath the surface.
