Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately? Are you feeling depressed, anxious, not sleeping well, or just not yourself ? Have you wanted to tackle some things that have been holding you back from achieving your full potential? Are there aspects of your past you may be avoiding? Are you wondering if you have addiction issues? Perhaps your family's history is something you need to discuss with someone?

Are you experincing life challenges with your family or employment? Maybe you are not entirely sure the cause of your distress and would just like to talk? We would like to walk with you on your journey to becoming a healthier person. We are a private practice that provides psychotherapy to patients experiencing challenges with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, anger management, family discord, children with behavioral issues, impulsiveness, developmental disabilities, grief-loss and sexual behavior problems.

My specialty is treating anxiety and panic disorders but I am also experienced helping with a variety of issues including depression, insomnia and difficulty adjusting to life changes or transitions. For twenty years I've had the privilege of working with clients like yourself, helping them to find solutions and to work toward a more manageable and enjoyable life. Its my experience that providing a genuine, non judgmental, empathetic and caring environment are the most important factors for positive change, as well as an encouraging treatment that is tailored to the individuals unique strengths and resources.

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Welcome... I look forward to hearing from you to explore whether we might work well together. I view the therapy process as a dynamic and equal partnership. I have experience working with young children to seniors, individuals, partnerships, groups and families. I consider it an honor and privilege to have worked with former clients and look forward to hearing your story. Phone appointments and/or “walk and talk” sessions.

I have over 25 years working with children and adults dealing with mental health problems. and other problems of living and challenges that include but are not limited to behavior / oppositional problems, school problems, relationship and addiction problems, poor anger management, grief and loss, chronic pain and trauma. I am experienced in conducting comprehensive suicide risk assessments. I also offer supervised visits for non- custodial parents. I am experienced working with individuals with a diversity of issues and backgrounds. I offer individualized treatment plans that are tailored to the clients challenges and needs.

The primary focus of my work with clients is to listen to and understand each person as they are, with the intention of forming a therapeutic relationship that allows for healing, growth and transformation. My approach is based on the belief that people deserve to know more about themselves, and that this can help them to connect with others, to experience less suffering and to overcome obstacles that limit their enjoyment of life. I will offer an atmosphere of empathy and respect, along with insights and observations based on your specific situation and needs.

Healing is rarely a linear process, and no one should have to address life's many challenges alone. I hope to assist you in navigating these challenges, and I believe this starts with building and maintaining a supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationship. My goal is to provide a safe space for you to express yourself, free of judgment. I am passionate about empowering others to learn healthy coping and communication skills, manage stress and anxiety, address traumatic experiences, and improve relationships with both oneself and others.

Therapy is about YOU! Most of us spend the majority of our day meeting the demands of others through work, family, friends, children. Therapy is YOUR time. I will provide you the support, encouragement and feedback needed to take the next step in your life. Together we will work through your life challenges and obstacles. It would be an honor to join you on your journey towards a happier, healthier life.

In my 15-year career as a Marriage & Family Therapist in private practice, I help individuals and couples navigate change: Identify change they desire. Achieve and sustain conscious change. Endure change they didn’t expect and/or don’t want. If communication is a problem... If your relationship is conflict-filled, lonely, sexually unsatisfying, stuck... If you're struggling with a major life decision, change or crisis... Please reach out. Together, we'll figure out what's in your way. That is, what needs to stop, start or be different to make your relationship with yourself or significant others feel good?

I work with individuals to help them increase self-awareness and lead happier lives. My unique background makes me different than most therapists. In addition to being a licensed therapist, I have a PhD in Philosophy. As a therapist and life coach, I help individuals struggling in particular with relationships, codependency, sexual compulsivity, and substance/alcohol abuse. I also work with adult children of alcoholics, those who grew up in families where emotional chaos and parental addiction may affect their current lives. Unrecognized trauma can result from this. In addition, I work with gay individuals and couples.

I am a clinical social worker with a practice in both the Berkshires and Brooklyn. I approach my work with compassion to create a safe space to allow clients to explore what is holding them back or causing them distress. I believe the work of therapy is to empower each of us to build the life we seek. Depression and anxiety can interfere with our ability to create and relate and achieve. Working with a therapist you trust can remove roadblocks and allow a person to be and feel more authentic.

Some of the most important things that happen in our lives can't be put into words. Changes in emotions, thoughts, or daily life—feeling sad, anxious, tired, difficulty focusing, appetite or sleep changes, loneliness, mood swings, and/or hopelessness—can become overwhelming over time. Envision a safe space where emotions can surface, inviting exploration. Here, they are not just acknowledged but heard, understood, and perhaps even befriended. Creative Arts therapy involves the mind, body, and spirit in different ways than just talking. These ways lead to an emotional connection to the full range of human experience.

Whether you may be experiencing difficulty, encountering behaviors that keep leading to troubling outcomes, or are dealing with grief, anxiety, sadness, overwhelm, or the weight of the world, I hope you aren’t going through it alone. People who work with me tend to think of me as an ally, helping them to create the lives they want to live. I collaboratively draw upon people’s strengths, values, and competencies to navigate their way towards more fulfillment, freedom, purpose, and joy.

Grief shatters life as you know it; the challenge is in putting it back together. Your healing begins with your story. Tell me what happened, how you feel. Let's look at your relationships and who you are as a result. I will listen, sit with you in compassionate presence as you uncover your own personal skills, and guide you through this transition. You can rebuild your life into a comfortable shape while honoring your connections to the past. I can help you find your way back to wholeness. Loss can be transformed.

My passion in life is to help individuals and couples quickly find solutions to even the most challenging issues, so that they can reconnect with a new sense of possibility and joy for what life can truly be. The short-term, solution-oriented approach focuses on the present and future rather than the past. In our work together you will quickly learn how to shift your perspective from one in which you may feel frustrated, stuck, scared or angry, to one in which you will find the courage, willingness, love, and wisdom you need in any situation to move forward.

I specialize in couples therapy and individual therapy with adults. My 25+ years experience includes working with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and issues of aging. I have done extensive work in the areas of grief and loss, relationship issues, life transitions, family conflict, and parenting. In addition, I provide clinical supervision for therapists for a minimal fee. Creating a safe, secure therapeutic environment is my top priority for the work we'll be doing together. My schedule includes in-person appointments in an office setting in Delmar, NY and remote sessions via phone, Skype, FaceTime; weekend sessions available.

Therapy provides the space to challenge self defeating beliefs and see oneself more clearly. I offer a safe and non-judgmental environment. My specialties and areas of interest include helping people overcome feeings of shame, depression and anxiety. I'll support you in your life transitions and when you're feeling afraid or unfulfilled. A lot of my work is around relationship challenges of all kinds. My goal is to help you understand and accept yourself. My goal is also to help you learn how to help yourself.
