Positive Psychology Therapists in Ontario County, NY

I bring over twenty-five years of experience to my therapy practice, and have helped clients achieve life-changing results. I provide effective therapy services to those who have been affected by painful life experiences--large and small, recent and long ago. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, losses, or stress, we now know that painful life experiences are what underlie most symptoms that have been labeled as mental health disorders. I ask what happened to you, since our beliefs about ourselves are affected by trauma, and by the messages that significant people in our lives send us with their words and behaviors.

We pride ourselves on calling people back within 24 hours and getting people scheduled within 7 days! We have over 60 clinicians with all different specialities so we are confident that we can find the right fit for you!

I believe therapy is always a collaboration between myself and the client. We are a team! It is my goal to provide a safe space for you to feel seen, heard, not judged. Change can be difficult to process alone, and I am here to support and encourage you along this journey of self-growth and exploration.

I understand that life is stressful and that it is easy to feel overwhelmed by its demands.

If you are unfamiliar with marriage and family therapy, be assured that you don't have to be married or bring your family to therapy! Marriage and family therapists help individuals, couples, & families to view things from a systemic approach. This means how family behaviors, including our extended family, community, and other meaningful relationships, influence mental health. My experience includes assisting individuals, couples, and families suffering from trauma, sexual abuse, child and adult ADHD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and supporting LGBTQIA+ youth and adults.

As a clinician in the mental health field for over 20 years, I have a great deal of knowledge and experience to offer my clients.

Specifically I utilize empirically based treatment modalities along with a relationship based approach to alleviate pain and suffering caused by mental illness, daily stress, trauma, family conflict, and transitional life changes. I would be honored to assist you on your journey to wellness and self discovery.

As a compassionate therapist, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and improve their mental well-being. For over fifteen years, I have been devoted to developing the skills and knowledge to support people who are feeling stressed and overwhelmed by life. I have seen people who thought they were broken, heal themselves through therapy. I believe that we are all doing our best, and with the appropriate support, we can find ways to better handle our stress and live happier lives. Therapy works best when you feel comfortable with your therapist. Let’s arrange a consultation and see if I’m a good fit for you.

I do not see my job as telling you what to do, but to help you quiet the noise that gets in the way of hearing your own voice. ​In our work together, you will find support and patience as you walk through whatever cross-roads life presents in front of you. You will have the freedom to explore yourself, your life and your experiences. I believe that everyone I work with is the expert on their own life so for this reason, I feel the best way to serve my clients is to work as a mirror; assisting people in transformation through reflection. Powerful healing and change occurs with the felt sense of being truly seen and heard.

Loss, trauma, and other life changes can completely shift the path in which we’d imagined for ourselves leading to feelings of despair, isolation, and hopelessness. You may be wondering how you'll ever feel like yourself again or how you'll navigate this new terrain. We will develop a plan to navigate through what is and what that which was and through the darkness and despair we can also find glimmers of light, hope, and goodness. Life can be truly bittersweet as we how hold both sorrow and joy simultaneously to create a rich, meaningful life, remaining connected to those we love and that which is truly important to us.

I help people overcome stress and anxiety related to life transitions/changes.

Struggling with substance use disorders can often be lonely, isolating and confusing. There is a lot of help offered out there, but so often what's being offered can be confusing and conflicting. Is addiction a behavior? A spiritual malady? A disease? Or is it something more? My own path of recovery took me many attempts and eventually led me to school to seek the science behind substance use disorders, to recovery rooms, to many therapists for personal recovery, and to lots of different religious avenues in search of meaning and understanding. What I found has illuminated my own path and practice. I love to pass these insights on.

Accepting New Clients- Do you find yourself longing for change? You may feel disconnected from what brings you joy or a sense of purpose. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed with life and the stresses that go with it and you just want to feel calm and centered again. You may be experiencing anxiety or depression and feel like it is time to get help. When we are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, depressed or anxious it can make it hard to feel like a good partner, spouse, parent, employee, family member or friend. When we are in the middle of an emotional storm it can be difficult to find the path out by ourselves.

Life can really suck at times! It can be scary, overwhelming, and really difficult. I hope that together, you and I can come together to draw on your inner strengths to cultivate the growth that you would like to see within yourself.
