Therapists in Rochester, NY

A Licensed Social Worker with 13 years of experience in mental health counseling, crisis management and mental health assessments. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health and School Social Work. I use a generalist practice approach, while incorporating solution focused therapy, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavior therapy and spiritual therapy.

As a Client-Centered Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, my approach to therapy involves providing support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges.

With compassion and understanding, I will work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

Hello. I'am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York. I have been working for 15+ years with families and clients of all ages. I enjoy helping and supporting clients on their individual journey. I have helped clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, adjustment issues, relationship challenges, anger management, self esteem, not being raised by biological family, and more.

Are you looking for an experienced therapist to help you feel better and live better? Are you hoping to improve communication with your partner or in your family relationships? I'd like to help you find a pathway to lasting change. I have more than 20 years of experience working with people across the lifespan, across genders and orientations, and facing varied stressors.

Do you feel overwhelmed by your thoughts or feelings? Do you suffer from excessive worry, panic attacks or feeling like you’re not enough? Have you had a damaging experience that you are unable to put behind you? You have the ability to take control and create change in your life. I would be honored to help you navigate a new pathway where the clouds can be lifted and the waves will settle; YOU can begin to believe in yourself again.

My specialties include helping children and adults work through conflicts, anxiety, depression, problems in relationships, problematic behaviors in school and home, and stressful life changes. I also help couples and families increase more effective ways of communicating with each other.

I love the challenge of listening and questioning with the goal of true understanding. If you have been thinking about seeking help with a relationship, managing anxiety, coping with trauma or complex life changes, dealing with alcohol or drug problems, or simply need a good listener to work through a difficult situation, I encourage you to call me to schedule an initial consultation.

One of my greatest rewards as a therapist is helping clients to change their lives for the better. I have almost 20 years of individual and family therapy experience.

Welcome! You have already taken the first step to feeling better by reaching out for support. I know it isn't easy and I am here to help. I believe that you have what it takes to get through what life puts in front of you. Sometimes we just need help accessing the tools and inner strength, as well as the opportunity to learn new skills and different ways of approaching problems in a caring, supportive, non-judgemental environment.

Engaging in therapy is a vulnerable and sometimes scary process. I specialize in working with couples in a committed relationship. Working on relationships I often find the thing that brings couples together initially, gets lost after the "honeymoon" period is over. It is easy to get complacent with all of life's stressors. Being a strength-based therapist, I believe that anything is possible if both people are willing to work. And to be honest, therapy is work! I view my clients as the experts in their life and work together with them to create positive change.

Relationships can be one of the biggest blessings and also one of the biggest stresses in your life. It's amazing how quickly life can get in the way of our relationships and cause chaos in our lives. We have obligations, responsibilities and demands that we have to keep up with, while putting in work to create a successful relationship. It can be exhausting at times and things can fall apart quickly. Therapy can be helpful for not just the couple or family, but the individual.

Are you grappling with themes of meaning and purpose? Feeling defined by your past, destined to repeat the same unfulfilling cycles for the unforeseeable future? Maybe it feels like the issue is your career, your relationship, or the city you’re living in. You may also be thinking that if you just lose some weight, get more sleep, make a little more money, or find some adventure, surely then you’d be happy. The truth is that you are not doomed to this kind of unending disconnection and dissatisfaction, nor are you destined to perpetuate the cycles of generations before you.

Living the life we envision is a journey that can be difficult when experiencing stressors, transitions, uncertainty, and instability. In a safe and collaborative environment, I will walk with you in exploring the areas of your life to discover healing in yourself, your relationships, and circumstances. Together we will work towards your goals and uncover the happiness, reflection, and coping to achieve them. I work with youth, adults, couples, and families experiencing challenges in their lives, including struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.
