Everyone needs a different perspective at one point or another. I invite you to bring your old strengths into a new perspective to improve current issues you face in your life. You may come to gain a viewpoint outside of your current network of friends and family, and to take a look at your own perspective. By gaining new insight, you will find ways to make positive change and cope with whatever it is you carry with you through the door. Together we can, through talk therapy, explore how you can become the healthiest you.

Do you feel stuck? That your symptoms limit what you do and make your life small? Do other people just tell you to “get over it”? Since you’re here reading this you probably already know that these people are wrong. The best way to deal with our problems isn’t by pushing them aside, but by facing them. Running away only makes the problem grow bigger and we end up losing more and more control over our own lives, missing out on all the things that give life meaning. If you’re unsure how to move past difficult situations and triggers and want to see what else life holds for you, therapy might be a great next step.

You have the incredible ability to self-heal. I'm here to support you through identifying and letting go of the old habits or patterns that cast you into a narrative that no longer fits the self you want to be in this world. My role as a therapist is to hold a welcoming, safe space and to provide knowledgeable, dependable support as you discover who you are underneath all those layers of self that you’ve created in order to survive. More and more people are beginning to trust it is safe to relinquish the old identity they cling to, the life which they carry so much conflict around.

I believe we all share the need to be deeply understood, especially during difficult or challenging times. I appreciate the courage clients show when they share stories of their lives. Without fail, I find these stories layered, complex, unique and moving. I admire clients who dare to share life stories that are "works-in-progress" -- messy, drafty, tentative. Stories with icky parts (that's a technical term!)... or tender parts...or broken parts... or out-dated parts. Stories with gaps -- spaces -- where yet-to-be-written parts will go. .I believe this process leads to healing and transformation.

I am a Jungian-oriented psychoanalyst in Western NY. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy can help get to the root of your problems instead of creating temporary fixes. We will use dreams, archetypes and synchronicities in your life to help create your own unique path toward healing. If you have made your life decisions based on what others want for you, that may have lead you astray from your own innate purpose in the world. When we become awakened to this insight, change becomes possible and your symptoms begin to subside.

Do you ever ask yourself, "who am I?", "what am I here for?", "how shall I live?" If so, you are not alone and you are asking the right questions for healing and living an autonomous, thriving life.

I believe that individuals are capable of transcending limiting beliefs to develop a deep sense of self and consciousness. My practice focus is with adult individuals and couples in a supportive, safe, culturally sensitive environment.

Getting stuck in troubling thoughts or painful emotions after experiencing a setback is part of the natural human experience. While some of us are resilient enough to adapt and skillfully navigate adversities in life, most of us find it quite challenging to let go of familiar ways of thinking and behaving that are holding us back. Recognizing the need to change is a sign of maturity and provides an opportunity to grow at any stage of our lives. I hope you are ready to let go of what is no longer serving you and embark on a personal journey toward the actualization of your full potential and well-being.

Online Therapists
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
