Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in Park Avenue, Rochester, NY

It can be a hard decision to make to decide that you need to talk with someone, and be just as daunting to actually make that first appointment. You want someone who will be understanding and insightful, as well as challenging. You want someone who will be empathic and knowledgeable, with whom you can feel comfortable to talk, and know that you're speaking in confidence. I work with a wide range of challenges, including: Tension and stress, depression and mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, life changes, difficulties coping, panic, phobia, sleep problems, social phobia, and family stressors.

Welcome! As a clinical psychologist, I help adults who are struggling with anxiety, social anxiety, insomnia, low self-esteem, and interpersonal difficulties. I also work with people who are experiencing significant loss or life transitions. I provide a confidential, safe, and compassionate setting where you can feel understood on your own terms. My eclectic approach to treatment includes psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness perspectives, and I tailor my approach to meet the individual needs of each client.

Anxiety, depression, trauma, or even just being in a 'funk'; at some point in life, we all feel stuck. Sometimes we know we need to do things like manage stress, eat well, get better sleep and cultivate supportive relationships, but it's hard to find the way out. To address this, we'll dive into historical responses to the world around us and their relationship to all aspects of self-care. This will help us generate practical solutions specific to your life. Let's work together to find your path to becoming un-stuck.

Have you been feeling like a hot mess lately? Have you been struggling to keep up with the daily demands of adulting and life, you know, you aren't sleeping, eating all of the junk food, not attending to your work, school or family responsibilities, staring at your social media profiles for days on end and just feel like you aren't flourishing in your life? Do you feel lost and inadequate about your lot in life? Therapy can offer guidance and assistance in getting us back on track. I recognize the power of the "Non-judgmental Empathic Listener" meaning I am committed to offering you the space and the platform to be HEARD.

Are you struggling with depression and/or anxiety? Are you feeling burned out? Are you not taking care of yourself? Are your relationships not what you want them to be? Do you dislike your job?

A warm welcome to you. If you struggle with anxiety, depression or overwhelming stress, you will find my holistic approach to counseling, focusing on mind/body/spirit healing very helpful.

We may have all asked ourselves at one time or another...."How did I (or we) get here?"... During these times, talking to someone who understands helps.
