Therapists in Rochester, NY

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! Are you feeling deep pain, but there's no one who really understands? Are your emotions so powerful that you are beginning to feel like they're in control? Are you feeling unsure about your purpose and unclear about your identity? Are you feeling stuck and unsure how to become free? I am here for you! I understand that beginning therapy can be anxiety-provoking. My goal is to create a safe place for you to explore your emotions, experience healing and grow in understanding your purpose and identity. You can expect to gain perspective and feel empowered after each session.

Do you feel stuck in your relationships? Having difficulty setting and maintaining boundaries? Struggling to connect with the people around you? I work primarily with adults who are looking to explore themselves and their relationship patterns to work toward more meaningful connections in their lives. I believe that the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives, and I am passionate about using our relationship as client and therapist as a tool and lens to help you explore and understand more about the other relationships in your life and how you show up in them.

I am currently accepting clients along the spectrum of issues revolving around relationships, intimacy, sexuality, and sexual identity. This includes individuals seeking a more full, balanced, and healthy relationship to self; as well as anyone seeking better relationships to others, including monogamous or polyamorous relationships, and communities.

I'm only accepting new clients for EMDR Intensives and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). However, I'm happy to refer to another clinician at my practice with openings for individual therapy. I believe we all have the potential to better ourselves, and that growth occurs while exploring the root causes of issues - not just treating symptoms. I have a holistic approach, treating the entire person rather than a disorder or specific hardship. I view my clients as experts on their own lives and my role as the facilitator of change. I help address my clients' struggles while, equally importantly, maintaining areas of strength.

Have you had situations where you feel strong emotions but don't understand what they are or what set an emotional reaction off? Emotions are based in our bodies and are much easier to manage than most of us think if we understand the sources. I would love to help you understand. Are you trying to figure out who you are, feel like you lack direction in your life and worrying you aren't good enough? Would you like to feel like you can identify goals you want to achieve and then have a plan to accomplish them? Is it important for you to feel like you have the confidence to meet any challenge? Helping clients towards goals is a passion

If your relationship with food is a bit messy - I can help. In my 20+ years working in the health and wellness industry, I have helped thousands of individuals heal their complex and confusing relationships with food and their bodies. Clients sometimes say it can be hard to relax around food or feel defeated by the influence food has over their lives. If you have ever felt this way I am here to offer hope. My direct, compassionate and results-oriented approach will help you build a meaningful relationship with food.

The journey of therapy should be something you are drawn toward, not something you have to convince yourself to do. I want my clients to look forward to coming to their sessions, especially when what we're working through is tough. Therapy is a serious and powerful undertaking, but it doesn't have to be ominous. I think being down-to-earth and as lighthearted as possible about the institution of therapy helps to make it feel more accessible and fight any stigma attached to it. I look forward to working with you, you and your partner, or your family!

Stress and anxiety are increasingly common challenges we face as humans, for individuals and families alike. These concerns may arise from a variety of sources, including relational difficulties, societal pressures, and behavior challenges in children and teens. Having a space to focus on strengths, improve communication, identify tools for coping, and reflect on values, can be integral for not only healing but thriving. Through a warm, collaborative, curious stance, I utilize evidence-based treatments to create improvements in functioning and quality of life.

On life’s journey we are constantly growing and developing. Whether young or old, life is a journey that usually entail efforts of trying to understand divine will. We often question our purpose in life, especially during challenging times. To keep it real, in many cultures/communities, such as the African American (Black) community, we might have been taught to either “pray” about our situations, issues, and emotions or “suck it up and keep it moving.” This can create negative energies such as anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, and other mental health issues that need to be addressed in a healthy manner.
