Stress Therapists in Almond, NY

Stress, anxiety, and depression can make us feel stuck and hopeless, but I’m here to tell you that there is hope, and that I can help get you unstuck and back on your way to living a life you're in control of. Many times, the process of starting therapy can feel daunting and almost impossible, but I can promise that the change you desire starts with taking this first step. Although a challenging process, therapy can also be an exciting and rewarding time, full of new discoveries and promise.

Everyone can benefit from therapy! We all have a story to tell, and life just feels hard sometimes. It's never just one thing that causes us to begin looking for help and it can be easy to lose sight of our strength and resilience when we are overcome with stress, shame, or doubt. Whether you are anxious, depressed, experiencing a major life transition, or struggling in a relationship, therapy can provide a wonderful opportunity to find meaning and relief as you cope with life's challenges. It takes courage to ask for help. Regardless of what brought you here, together we can work to solve the problems you feel are holding you back.

I am a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and I enjoy working with a variety of people and problems because I believe everyone is unique in their own way and therefore also needs individualized treatment modalities. I utilize interventions including EMDR, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Family and Couples Therapy, Play Therapy and others. If you are ready to start creating positive change in your life and need support in doing so, I'd love to be the one to help you reach your goals.

Counseling is a process of building relationships, and for the past 30+ years, I have been building relationships across a wealth of life-experiences: as a teacher and life-long learner, an administrator in higher education and healthcare, a parent of adult children, a daughter with a complex upbringing.

Often our deepest wounds have relational origin. Despite our best efforts to create change, we can often feel overwhelmed and defeated amidst the demands of each day. By focusing on developing a healthy relationship between therapist and client, we can create a secure space to understand your concerns more fully. Over time, the hurt and pain can be found and even transformed.
