Trauma Focused Therapists in Snyder, NY
I am trained in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and am certified in dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), which are evidence based interventions I use often.
I believe everyone needs therapy at least once in their life, as there is no way to be prepared for every situation that life may throw at you. If you're experiencing challenges with anxiety, depression, trauma reactions, parent-child strains, school stress, recovering from an abusive relationship, navigating narcissistic relationships, life transitions/adjustments, family conflicts, low self-esteem, body image concerns, and disordered eating, then I can help.

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.

Life can often be challenging. You may feel you've gotten "off track" and need some direction. You may be overwhelmed with things and don't know what to do or how to make it better. It may be starting to affect your relationships, and you don't know how to stop it. You may be wondering what's wrong with you and why this keeps happening, or whether you're depressed. Perhaps you're having panic attacks that come out of nowhere. Or maybe you seem to have developed social anxiety. Perhaps you just don't feel like yourself or aren't content with your life. You want things to be different, you just don't know how to make that happen. You might be wondering whether you're always going to feel this way. You've got a lot going for you, you've accomplished quite a bit, but it still feels like there's something missing. You're not sure what else to do. Most of us feel this way at some point in our lives. Especially when trying to handle the stress of life, relationships and the impact of certain events all at once.

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.

I believe all of our life experiences influence our perspective so in 2015 I was trained in EMDR ( a trauma focused modality) as a means of assisting people to address a wide range of underlying issues.
I have been providing addiction and mental health services in the WNY community since 1999. I've worked in a variety of settings starting at local agencies eventually advancing into administration. In 2010 I made the decision to step out of that role and into Private Practice. I am an educator and community trainer. I've had the privilege of working with countless individuals and their families as they address their struggles and reached their triumphs battling various addictions and healing their Trauma. I am insightful, direct and never judgmental.

As a therapist for the past 10 years, I have mostly focused on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Trauma Focused Theories to assist individuals.
Each person I work with, whether you are dealing with stress from work, family, personal, or addiction issues, will establish their own goals and together we will work to develop the necessary knowledge and skills in order to meet those goals. With my guidance, I believe that allowing you to work towards the things that you prioritize in your own life will help you gain new knowledge about yourself and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors in a safe and nurturing environment.
