Substance Use Therapists in Delmar, NY

My therapeutic style involves using empathy, evidence-based interventions, and humor to help clients with their areas of concerns.

We are all different people with different experiences, needs, and challenges in life. We will partner as a team as I support you in establishing your goals. We will work together to develop best-fit approaches in addressing any emotional issues. I will support you unconditionally as you acquire new tools that boost coping and communication skills, improve self-esteem, and promote changes in unwanted behavior. Therapy can be a source of comfort, a place where you "let go" of stress, and a space that helps you feel energized. The process of therapy can even be "fun" as you strive toward improved mental and emotional well-being.
