Independent Health Therapists in Snyder, NY
Therapy is a time to reflect on, and adjust to, life issues. It's a time to explore how your thoughts and beliefs about yourself and the world color your emotional experiences today. Some people know exactly what they need, while others need to gently explore the cause and meaning of their discomfort and emotional pain. My task is to match what I do to this need and serve as a guide along the way. I have been in practice for over 25 years assisting individuals, groups, and families with all manner of behavioral health, relationship, and life problems.

NOT Currently Accepting New Clients. Are you feeling stuck or unable to move on from events that happened in your past? Do you feel like you keep repeating the same cycles over and over again? I have worked with many clients from diverse backgrounds to move forward from past traumas and to find peace. I serve as a guide to help clients navigate their own unique road to healing and truth through the use of EMDR, an evidence based intervention for trauma. I am a licensed social worker with over 15 years of human service experience and I have a doctorate degree in social work. I also use humor and laughter to bring joy to our sessions.

Emily Dickinson’s poem “Not in Vain”, hung on my wall growing up and I often think its essence seeped into my being. She wrote, “If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain: If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain”. As therapists, we choose to work within the world of emotions and behaviors, learning healthy techniques to bring balance to our mind, body, and spirit. Counseling is a judgement free setting, with an objective listener; where everyone is welcome and can be supported.

When life becomes challenging, we look for the light at the end of the tunnel. The light appears far, and we don't believe we can make it. With the help of therapy, the journey becomes bearable.

Whatever it is, I’d be honored to help.

Many of us undergo difficult, painful, and traumatic events in our lives – things that are not only painful while we experience them, but that have a way of sticking to us long after the fact. When the residual impact of these events follows us around, it can create a lot of fear and discomfort, making us lose touch with who we really are. This often manifests in feeling stuck in unwanted patterns of behavior, difficult feelings, and negative beliefs about ourselves. These things can be very hard to deal with when other people don’t understand. I specialize in understanding these issues and how they affect us.

I believe that everyone has a purpose. A greatness that is held within them, designed to change the world for the better. In life, we face challenges that sometimes cause us to become forgetful of our power, whether it is within the confines of a romantic relationship or the one of the pinnacles of personal growth.

My approach begins with guiding young adults and adults in understanding and managing their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we establish a safe and supportive relationship for optimal self-learning and personal growth.

Individuals are taught and encouraged to practice self-regulation skills and techniques to improve outlook and quality of life. I use humor and a lighthearted approach, when appropriate, to bring a sense of comfort and ease to sessions.
