Female Therapists in Harrison, NY

Therapy is a process of discovery and change, which, although often challenging, I believe is always an endeavor worth taking. As I greatly respect one's decision to make this commitment to themselves, I take an active approach in the therapy process and work collaboratively with my clients towards healing and insight. I primarily make use of psychodynamic techniques with a general focus on helping to increase self-awareness, a sense of wellbeing, and a sense of empowerment to achieve desired change. However, it is important to note that treatment goals established by my clients and me are individualized to meet each client's needs.

I am a counselor/coach who has long been committed to the health and success of women as they manage different transitions in life, such as transitioning from career professional to working mom, from working outside to staying at home, getting divorced, becoming an empty nester, transitioning back into the workforce after raising your kids, being the primary eldercare giver and adjusting to retirement. These unsettling periods often lead to fear and loss of confidence but they needn't be. We work on practical steps to manage through the transition to get you to where you want to be comfortably.

Struggling in a relationship that is important to you? Feeling stuck in a rut? Feeling overwhelmed and alone? I believe that within the context of a positive therapeutic relationship, individuals and couples can learn, heal and grow. I offer clients a safe place to express and explore their thoughts and feelings. Together, we work as a team to uncover the longstanding patterns that are keeping you from having what you desire most. Clients are given support and guidance as they begin to experiment with new ways of being with themselves and others.

Grief. Medical Illness. Anxiety. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore, understand, and cope with these common, but difficult, parts of life. Psychotherapy can improve awareness and understanding of emotional symptoms; it can also increase coping skills and solution-focused problem-solving. I believe in helping people attain these goals and improve the overall quality of their lives through a collaborative, genuine, and respectful therapeutic relationship.

Are you spending your days hurting emotionally? --- Do you often feel alone even though you may be living with others and/or have family and friends? --- Do you feel that nobody seems to understand you or your pain? --- Do you feel uncomfortable sharing your feelings out of concern for what others might think or simply because you don’t want to burden them? --- Are you confused about your feelings and don’t know what to do about them? --- Do you judge yourself harshly standing in your own way to make amends with who you are?
