Therapists in Waterloo, NY

Are you looking to create a richer, more fulfilling life? I have the experience and skills to help you address the barriers that hinder you and cause additional suffering in your life. I will help you identify your strengths and build new skills and behaviors to enhance your well-being. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a psychotherapy privilege licensed in New York with over 10 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, among others. I provide a safe, nurturing and non-judgmental environment to assist you in reaching your goals. I offer a creative and relational approach to therapy based on your needs. Through the use of various psychotherapy methods and collaborative treatment measures, my clients develop life-changing habits to help them cope with all of life’s various obstacles. My therapeutic approach is the result of years of experience practicing and studying methods of psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy and behavior modification. I understand that choosing a therapist is a deeply personal process and it is essential that you feel a connection with the therapist you choose. My practice is an open, accepting and collaborative place for you to express yourself without fear of judgment. I provide an environment focused on compassion and support. There is no therapeutic method that works for everyone. Therapy, in and of itself, is specific to the person, or persons involved. Drawing from traditional methods as well as new treatments supported by current research, I am able to cater to the individual needs of my clients. I will help you learn to identify your emotions and understand behavioral patterns. Too often, life has a way of stripping us of the ability to feel what is happening around us. Instead, we just go though the motions, never stopping to think about how we truly feel. I am dedicated to helping you learn how to access those emotions in order to work through hardships and develop the skills necessary in order to achieve emotional recovery. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Life is not a series of crises to be endured, it is meant to be enjoyed. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

The core of my approach is to strengthen your resilience. This process is painful, requires focused effort, and there is no guarantee of success. If you're ready to rip up that winning lottery ticket, throw it in a mud puddle, and stomp on it, then you're ready to begin working with me. There are no questions off the table here. No taboos. We can even start with the assumption that your happiness is hopeless. Now with that out of the way... are you willing to move toward wholeness? Then let's begin.
