“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.” Abraham Maslow Perhaps you're feeling down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, aren't satisfied with how you're managing stressors, feeling burned out or depleted, or feel worn out by past experiences and difficult to bear emotions. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support and guidance from a well versed, compassionate and non-judgmental perspective. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery. In my sessions I promote improved awareness of the processes that lead to a sense of feeling stuck, skills to meaningfully improve your relationships, and transformation in the way you think and respond to your experiences. You will find a strong focus on restorative techniques used to soothe the nervous system. Teaching the skills necessary to calm our physiological as well as our cognitive responses lead to the most balanced outcomes and meaningful change.

Hi, my name is Sara. I often work with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by mental health challenges. There is something getting in the way of a more meaningful life. This can show up as an addiction, OCD, anxiety, low self-esteem, or another mental health concern. I believe that everyone has the natural drive and ability to live a fulfilling life, with the right supports and resources. My approach is rooted in the belief that therapy is not about "fixing" but about learning to reconnect with parts of ourselves that we once had to push aside. Change cannot happen without safety. I seek to create an environment where you can show up exactly as you are. We will work together to explore old patterns with compassion and curiosity and create new patterns in the present moment. We will try to understand the roadblocks to a meaningful life, while honoring that there are wisdom and pain in old patterns. Therapy is not an easy process, but my hope is that you feel empowered and challenged to meet your goals in a safe environment. You are the expert of your life, and I will go at the pace that makes sense for you and your nervous system. If you are ready, I would love the opportunity to walk alongside you on your healing journey.

Hi! I’m Briana, a therapist who loves working with college students. I know this time in your life can feel exciting, overwhelming, confusing, and full of possibility—all at once. Whether you're dealing with stress from classes, relationships, identity questions, or just figuring out who you are and what you want, you're not alone. I've worked on college campuses for years and feel so lucky to be part of this chapter with the students I support. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to make sense of what you're going through. Let’s figure it out together.

You are sitting in therapy watching your therapist's lips move while she tells you for the fourth time that her cousin is gay and just got a “very butch” haircut. You can’t help thinking, “She just doesn’t get it.” He misgenders you, or forgets your partner’s pronouns, she pulls out Food and Mood, and he talks about how apple cider vinegar might be the solution to all your problems. She hasn't lived in a fat body. He hasn’t experienced homophobia or heterosexism from the inside. What initially seemed like a small hill to climb in your relationship has started to feel like a mountain. Maybe she tells you your black top is so slimming. Maybe once he referred to queer people as ‘homosexuals.’ Maybe, when you report your experiences of oppression, she tells you that the other party probably meant well and just wanted you to be healthier or have it easier in the world. You don’t trust him with your whole self, how can you? You’ve tried so many therapists in the past and she’s not that bad, is she? You continue to hope that therapy with a therapist who doesn’t quite get it will be enough to meet your needs. It’s not enough. You deserve a therapist who understands your lived experiences. You deserve a therapist who knows what it’s like to have your doctor prescribe weight loss to treat arthritis in your wrists, and who can truly hear it when you tell them about your experience with your homophobic aunt at Thanksgiving. You deserve a therapist who approaches the world with a solid intersectional anti-oppression framework that sees society, rather than some flaw in you, as the central piece of your problem. I can be that therapist. I’m fat, I’m queer, I have an intersectional lens, and I want to dismantle systems of oppression one client session at a time.

Overwhelmed? Struggling to adjust? Confused on your next steps in life? You're in the right place and on the path to heal and grow. I help students struggling with finding purpose, experience low motivation, loss of passion, or struggling in relationships with themselves and others. My role as your therapist is to serve as a guide on your healing path of self-efficacy, self-fulfillment, and wellness.

I named my practice Conversations Therapy because I have always felt that the words “therapy” and “counseling” have a bad reputation. Some people think that seeking therapy is admitting weakness; others think that their therapist will judge them or tell them that they are “bad” or “broken.” In reality, neither of these things could be further from the truth. Rather, seeking therapy requires strength and determination. Furthermore, therapy can and should be a good experience. At Conversations Therapy, I believe that you are the expert of your own life. As your therapist, my job is to guide you through your complex emotions so that you can gain better clarity on your life. My motto is “Be your authentic self.” I welcome people regardless of their age, background, religion, ethnicity, sexual preference, gender identity, or any other identity a human being might hold. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your feelings and express yourself freely. I encourage you to be yourself and your whole self. In our therapy sessions, we will look at the whole of you and see how your different experiences and emotions have impacted your life.

You’ve built your life around solving complex problems, but lately, your thoughts won’t slow down. Whether you’re managing workplace pressure, academic stress, or major life changes, therapy can help you find clarity and relief. I specialize in working with professionals, PhD students, and post-docs who experience burnout, anxiety, or self-doubt. Together, we’ll set two focused goals by our third session and build practical strategies that fit your world; from deadlines and defenses, to family and fatigue. As a biracial psychologist (Seneca/Haudenosaunee and White) living with autoimmune challenges, I understand the weight of high expectations and the need to honor authenticity. My approach combines Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), person-centered, and solution-focused techniques. Clients describe my style as calm, collaborative, and grounded in real-world understanding. Sessions are offered online. I offer weekday, evening, and weekend appointments to fit busy schedules. My coordinator with OnPoint Billing LLC, ensures smooth setup and insurance verification before your first session. If you’re ready to find balance without losing your drive, reach out today. I typically respond within 24 hours.

I work with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, pain, grief/loss, illness, self-esteem concerns, and self-criticism. I teach mindfulness skills to help you reduce stress, anxiety and pain, and cope more effectively with grief, loss, and illness. I'll teach you how to feel better, feel better about yourself, and treat yourself with greater kindness and compassion. We have more control over our lives than it sometimes seems that we do. I teach people how to manage your thoughts and feelings so that you feel a greater sense of calm, happiness, and well-being. I'll teach you how to get unstuck, set clear intentions for your life, and take action to achieve your intentions and goals. **All sessions are telehealth.**
