Therapists in West Oneonta, NY

I have been providing therapy for almost a decade and I believe that therapy is driven by YOU. You let me know what you would like to work on and we move forward from there. I value providing a safe, judgement free space to process whatever is on your mind. A little about me, I love dogs and mine might pop in during a telehealth session. My availability is mostly evenings for appointments. I work with adults (18+ years old).

Are you experiencing frequent conflicts and arguments about the same things, but nothing ever seems to get resolved? Do you feel the harder you try to make things better, the worse it seems to get? When people feel they are underappreciated, misunderstood, or blamed for things that don't feel are their fault, people stop listening and can become stuck pointing fingers and assigning blame. No one is changing behaviors or focused on solutions. All you know is you feel stuck, scared and realize that your family relationships are in trouble and need help.

I am a multicultural, holistic, trauma-informed, LGBT+ affirmative therapist and a core believer in resiliency of human spirit. Though you may consider me as the professional/expert, you are the expert of your lived experiences. I strongly believe that the client has a right to both be a recipient as well as an influencer within the therapeutic relationship. My job as a therapist is to act as guide while you are empowered to tackle both inner and outer barriers. I aim to hold a space for those who may not have access to any other arenas to feel heard and understood.

I am passionate about all things “relationship.” I believe that we are in relationship to everything, all the time. The problem is that no one teaches us how to DO relationships well. We have to learn what makes the patterns in our relationship heathy or harmful. Then we have to do the healthy things… moment after moment after moment to grow our relationships into something beautiful. I have spent many years researching and studying what makes relationships last, what makes them grow and what makes them end. I have developed strategies to help guide you and your partner to be able to grow to your highest relationship potential.

Birth and motherhood are meant to be addictive. Yet so many of us feel anxious in pregnancy, experience birth trauma and struggle postpartum. In a culture where mothers are not supported, and the system prioritizes "safety" above all, women are often left stuck in survival stress after birth of their child. But please know that healing, love, and joy is available for you. Whether you wish to process and integrate your birth experience, prepare for the transition to the new role, or address your hopes and needs in pregnancy or postpartum, I am here to walk alongside and hold space for you as you navigate the perinatal journey.

I specialize in working with millennials, people in creative or non-traditional careers, and the LGBTQ+ community. Clients often come to me because they realize they've gotten stuck somewhere along the way. Often clients are ready for change but need support figuring out where to begin. We work together to build a relationship grounded in trust and authenticity, so you can feel safe to explore and experiment with new ways of relating to yourself and others.

Hey there! To get right to it: I’m a warm, compassionate therapist who will walk alongside you as we work to create the most balanced version of yourself. I believe therapy is a partnership, and while I know you are the expert in your own life, my role is to help make you aware of some of your blindspots, provide another perspective, and offer suggestions. As your partner, I’ll also be there to celebrate every win along the way. I plan to bring authenticity, non-judgment and understanding into every session in the hopes of helping you discover that the peace, happiness and strength you’re seeking have been within you all along.

Therapy is a sacred space for exploring your your life, identity, relationships, struggles, and aspirations. There is no other relationship space like it, one designed specifically to create and support your mental health. In times of pain and/or challenging life circumstances therapy provides support, validation and guidance. Throughout this process, a priority is placed on building resilience. The “doing” piece of the therapy includes skills, problem-solving, healthy coping strategies, effective navigation of relationships and goal-oriented actions.

Instilling hope in others and journeying with individuals to find meaning, purpose, and fulfillment in their lives is my "why" as a therapist. I believe that meeting people where they are and pacing them through their concerns with grace, truth, and gentleness fosters growth and opportunities to explore the deepest parts of ourselves. A counselor and client's relationship should be based on trust, empathy, and genuine concern. With this as a foundation, I believe that together, we can find solutions, resources, and strategies to aid you in achieving your goals.

A practicing therapist since 2014, I believe in a collaborative partnership to support people living the life they value with greater ease, manageability, and effectiveness. Through my work I have come to learn how prevalent complex trauma and attachment injuries are in our modern culture. My goal in practice is to build connection and confidence, understand personal values and motivations, achieve meaningful relationships, and consequently greater life satisfaction. I work with adults and adolescents dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal difficulties, substance abuse, and grief.

You feel like you’re settling for a life that’s not really yours. There is a stuck feeling that you carry with you, forcing you to wonder if this is just how things are always going to be. You look at your life and think you should be happy, satisfied, and dealing with whatever comes your way with more ease and gratitude but instead you feel lost. Even if you don’t know exactly what is wrong, you know something needs to change. Whether you’re going through a major transition, have lost someone or something in your life, or are realizing that your circumstances need to shift, you want to move forward. You're ready to get unstuck.

Living with anxiety and/or trauma is SO hard, especially if you find yourself repeating patterns in your relationships or you're experiencing the same outcomes day in and out. Lets work together to get to the bottom of your biggest challenges and help you live the life you want to live. I believe clients are the expert of their life and I love helping folks learn to trust their inner wisdom. Each of my clients receive treatment customized to their own unique needs and strengths. I use a combination of evidence based approaches including CBT, DBT, mindfulness and somatic exercises. My goal is to help you feel seen and heard.

Even when we have received the ideal nurturing, secure, validating childhood, which can help us to negotiate complexities and challenges we may face later in life, our inner resources can become depleted. The capacity to find joy and comfort may elude us. Rebalancing areas of outer life, and planning steps toward change may be in order. I make time to learn about the myriad ways that using art, energetic, somatic and stress reducing therapies can help each person who comes in, to restore their inner lives as well.

Feeling lost or stuck? Ready to begin coming to terms with yourself? Want to come to a better understanding of yourself in your relationships? Interested in digging through your life and getting a firmer grasp on your identity? Are there childhood experiences that you’ve yet to fully deal with that creeps into your bones, your daily stressors and your relationships? Whether you've heard you're "too hard on yourself" or know that you would never treat anyone else the way you're treating yourself, you've finally made it to therapy. You’re taking the first step. It’s time to think, talk and create meaning.

I have 31 years of experience helping people who are hurting change their lives. Often, we develop skills to survive difficult situations -childhood abuse, bullying in school, a bad car accident, sexual assault, an abusive marriage or boss - and it's hard to stop using those old skills, even when we no longer need them. We react in a new relationship as if we have to protect ourselves from things in the past. This often leads to more pain and unwanted outcomes. I can help you recognize those maladaptive coping skills. Change is difficult and often scary, but so worth it. I will be there cheerleading you as you practice new skills.
