Therapy Approaches in Ithaca & Telehealth

In my practice, I use research-backed methods like psychodynamic attachment-based therapy, CBT and DBT skills, and creative mindfulness methods to support clients in Ithaca and through telehealth across New York State with concerns like pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder, endometriosis and chronic illness, and other women’s mental health needs, so you can feel more clear, steady, and able to cope day to day; I also offer activist therapy for burnout tied to social justice work and couples therapy and conflict resolution to help rebuild trust and improve communication—when you’re ready, call 607-388-6408 or schedule a consultation

CBT & DBT Skills for Daily Life

This approach is centered on practical tools to help manage stress, anxiety, and emotional ups and downs. Together, we focus on building skills for regulating emotions, shifting unhelpful thought patterns, and improving day-to-day coping. Many clients find they feel more in control and better equipped to handle everyday challenges.
