Giving up our conceits and illusions of control over other people and events is hard. Facing life on life's terms. It is because we love that we know vulnerability. Covid, inflation, threat of war has driven us all to the edge of our coping. We are neither the "giant" of our dreams, nor the "dwarf" of our fears. We need to vent and heal. Kindness, empathy, doing good things for ourselves and others. I conduct telehealth sessions for clients throughout the entire state of New York.

Sometimes life can be difficult to manage-especially with all of the demands it brings: family, relationships, career, school. Therapy for me is a place we can explore feelings, troubles, and ideas in a safe, caring and nonjudgmental place. We can form a working, trusting relationship in order to begin to build understanding, and empowering oneself to increase your quality of life.
