Therapists in East Rochester, NY

As a licensed clinical social worker I have used my work to focus on the complex needs of women and young people in a time when the world feels overwhelming. It can feel that there is never the right, or enough, time to focus on our true selves. A universal truth is that once we start to make space for ourselves, within ourselves, time becomes more precious. We start to see the value in true self care and taking time and space for ourselves. Together, we will use a solution focused approach to help you feel empowered and move your life in a more positive direction.

I enjoy helping people carry the baggage you bring on the trip. The usefulness of what we do together is dependent on the quality of the relationship we can develop. Do you think that I can help you carry your baggage until you get back on the trail or are high enough on the mountain to see where you want to go?
