Therapists in Getzville, NY

"Strength doesn't come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming things you once thought you couldn't." (Rikki Rogers) I will be the therapist who works for you on any problem you bring to the session. I describe it this way because we work on what is important to you - your goals, hopes and dreams. The starting point is with you. Sometimes people can't even get in touch with that, but trust me, I can help you find those goals, hopes and dreams. I have been at points in my own life where I experienced hopelessness, but I know there is a way out.

Life can often be challenging. You may feel you've gotten "off track" and need some direction. You may be overwhelmed with things and don't know what to do or how to make it better. It may be starting to affect your relationships, and you don't know how to stop it. You may be wondering what's wrong with you and why this keeps happening, or whether you're depressed. Perhaps you're having panic attacks that come out of nowhere. Or maybe you seem to have developed social anxiety. Perhaps you just don't feel like yourself or aren't content with your life. You want things to be different, you just don't know how to make that happen. You might be wondering whether you're always going to feel this way. You've got a lot going for you, you've accomplished quite a bit, but it still feels like there's something missing. You're not sure what else to do. Most of us feel this way at some point in our lives. Especially when trying to handle the stress of life, relationships and the impact of certain events all at once.

Is your fear limiting you and keeping you from achieving your full potential? Have you been feeling so overwhelmed that you don't know what to do? Have you lost hope? Many times we need help developing a concrete plan in order to make your imagination come true by all your efforts. However, acknowledging when we need help and asking for the help needed are the most difficult and crucial steps towards successfully achieving your goals.

Experiences and circumstances have a way of changing how we perceive and understand the world around us. They alter the way we act or behave, the way we think, and the way we respond to different events or challenges that may occur in life. When we take the time to explore how we act, think, and feel we can access new parts of ourselves and gain understanding of how we interact with others in our life. “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. Let go of who you think you’re supposed to be; and embrace who you are.”

In today’s fast-paced digital world, the growth journey from childhood to adulthood can be challenging and stormy at times. Especially when there are chronic issues, escalating symptoms or sudden life changes, the adults in a child’s life may find themselves in the vulnerable position of seeking assistance outside of their direct circle of support. As a counselor by nature, I have spent my career passionate about strengthening families and helping children to flourish in the midst of difficult life circumstances. I specialize in the common challenges of childhood/adolescence and offer a wide range of parent education opportunities.

On life's journey there can be bumps, hills and mountains for us to climb. At times, that climb may feel impossible and you may feel unable to do it alone. Reaching out for someone to help you move forward is not easy, it takes courage and strength. I would be honored to help you climb those bumps, hills and mountains. Together we can discover what you need to find inner peace and contentment.

Taking the first step towards positive change can be overwhelming and intimidating. It is easy to second guess yourself when feeling alone and disconnected. Having support along the way makes all the difference. I provide a warm, compassionate and judgment-free space for you to start your journey.

We'll work with your thoughts and behaviors, and use mindfulness skills for symptom management of your anxiety and/or depression.
