Trauma Informed Therapist, Rhinebeck NY
Feelings of hopelessness, crushing self-criticism and loneliness can lead you to despair. But you CAN move past these and other feelings by allowing us to understand why so much of your life feels mired in depression and anxiety. I am a warm and intuitive trauma informed therapist who listens, asks the right questions, and helps my clients see the critical issues that cause them to struggle.
I have been offering counseling and psychotherapy services in the Hudson Valley for over 24 years. I see patients at my office in Rhinebeck, but I also offer teletherapy as well.
I specialize in;
-
Depression and anxiety
I help adults and young adults address poor self-esteem, self-destructive behaviors and loneliness.
-
Disordered eating
As a therapist for eating disorders, I help patients understand the root cause of their behaviors and make effective change.
-
Grief counseling
Part of my work is guiding adults of all ages through complex and painful times of intense transition.
-
Trauma
I have extensive experience in trauma work. I offer therapy for childhood trauma, sexual abuse, emotional abuse and PTSD, as well as EMDR therapy.
-
Therapy for young adults (16+)
I specialize in helping young adults navigate transitions in life, including social and academic challenges. I also see young adults with high-functioning autism.
-
Therapy for parents
Many of my patients are parents, especially divorced parents, and parents with troubled teens.
-
Therapy for relationship issues
I help adults of all ages work through family conflict, marital issues and other relationship problems.
My Approach
I believe that a great deal of unhappiness is rooted in past unprocessed experiences which, when colliding with present challenges, can result in negativity, pain and confusion. The best way to take control of this dynamic is to outsmart your hidden self – the parts of you that you’ve forgotten or ignored or are afraid to address. I create a comfortable space where anything you choose to reveal can emerge. Once you get to know these parts of yourself, you can find clarity and your happiness.
The silences many people fear are rarely, if ever, present during our sessions. I also welcome humor to bring a touch of lightness to the process of revealing oneself.
Free Consultation
I offer a free 15 minute consultation so that you can get a sense of who I am before trying a session. To book your free consultation, please contact me.
