Therapists in Clifton Park, NY

As an experienced counselor, I understand that life can be full of unexpected stressful moments. You may be considering the need for another perspective on your situation. In my practice, I support adults seeking help with relationship, career, health, and family issues. As a Christian therapist, I provide respectful and non-judgmental therapy in an environment where you can explore your concerns securely and confidentially. I understand that when you are in conflict about what to do, it helps to have an unbiased person you can trust to hear your thoughts.

Life transitions can bring emotions of anxiety, depression, anger and feeling overwhelmed. Often times these emotions can impact personal and work relationships. I believe that with time and strategic goal planning these feelings and patterns can be shaped and managed.

I provide compassionate, creative, and collaborative individual and family therapy that supports people as well as families in navigating through difficult situations in their lives. My goal is to help adults recognize and utilize their personal strengths as well as develop insight about them self to create lasting change that will enhance their life. When working with children and families, I create a safe place for children and adolescents to express their thoughts and work through their emotions. I collaborate with parents, teachers, and medical professionals to develop individualized treatment and support.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults who seek healing within the therapeutic relationship, and are ready to join with me on the journey to self-understanding, acceptance, appreciation, and love. Together, we will work to understand oneself through the context of past experiences, social and societal influences, and re-writing a more compassionate understanding of oneself. There is no wrong way to be yourself. Through warmth, compassion, reflection, education, and tools, we will work towards healing together.

Ever felt like you get in your own way ? Do you feel energetically stuck in one place and feel like there is no way to move forward in life? We all have the strength to heal ourselves as long as we have a safe space to explore emotions, negative thought patterns, and unresolved trauma within the soul. It is human nature to connect with others, sometimes it takes an unbiased support system to discover your authentic self through mind, body, and spirit. Our work together will explore healing your inner world through creativity, compassion, and positive self exploration.

I am a believer that we can make positive changes in our lives. I have been a social worker for over 20 years. Choosing a therapist is a very personal and emotional decision. I believe each person is unique and my approach to therapy is that of individuality. Sometimes we all get overwhelmed by our situations and/or feelings. Sometimes we need an objective person to listen and see our situation clearly. I believe in building an honest, trustworthy, respectful, caring professional relationship that can offer some insight, new ideas, and support to reach your goals. There is always hope for a bright future.

Every person has a unique personality and philosophy on life. Because of this, every person needs to be treated differently. This requires a unique psychotherapist, with a wide range of experience and a wealth of knowledge. Whether you're a young person, or an older person, you need expert guidance to effectively treat your issue.
