Therapists in Stony Point, NY

You or your child/teen have the power to make positive changes in order to live a happier, more fulfilling life. You may be thinking about improving relationships, coping more effectively with daily stress, or becoming more successful academically or in a career. Unfortunately, sometimes stress, anxiety, & depression make it difficult to make the changes you truly want. I aim to empower my clients so that they discover (or re-discover) the inner-strength needed to believe in themselves, learn new coping strategies, & achieve their goals.

NOTE: Currently accepting In-Home and Remote Child Therapy referrals. Welcome! I offer a welcoming place for your child to explore a wide range of issues, learn to process and explore emotions and build upon skills. I engage in children's natural play language to unpack and examine a child’s strong feelings with the goal of helping all children build on their strengths and develop resiliency . I also use other modalities such as art, story telling, and mindfulness to teach coping tools, and help children understand their internal world. Together we will co-create a creative and productive therapeutic experience.

My ideal client is trying to understand not only the root causes that created a less than optimal life functioning emotionally, socially, occupationally, academically, or intrafamilially, but the actual cognitive behavioral steps to remedy the problem. I believe most problems we encounter in our everyday lives can be improved upon and transformed into a life we have chosen.

My therapeutic philosophy is dedicated to helping individuals achieve maximum emotional and physical well-being through personal mastery. My focus is both preventative and remedial.

I use three main modalities - Biofeedback, Hypnosis, and Psychotherapy. These may be used independently or in conjunction with each other, according to individual needs.

All you want is for them to grow into the best version of themselves; but how? That's where I can help.
