Therapy can help you learn ways to handle your challenges more effectively. The therapeutic relationship is one of the most significant factors in achieving outcome.

If you’re a woman or queer person who seems put-together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of who you’re becoming on the inside, you’re not alone. Many of my clients describe shutting down in social settings, feeling pressure to perform, comparing themselves constantly, or wondering why things that once felt easy now feel impossibly heavy. They’re exhausted from pretending they’re fine, disconnected from their own needs, and scared by how quickly their emotions or motivation can swing. I help clients make sense of these intense inner shifts through a somatic, trauma-informed, and spiritually grounded approach. Together, we slow down enough to track what your body and emotions are trying to say, stress patterns, numbness, overthinking, people-pleasing, or the impulse to disappear. Instead of forcing insight or navigating it alone, you get a space to explore identity, relationships, boundaries, burnout, and the pressure to figure everything out. This work helps soften shame, reduce spirals, and reconnect you to what’s real and steady within you. Clients often describe feeling calmer, clearer, and more able to show up for their lives with presence and self-trust. They communicate more honestly, rest without guilt, reconnect with people they care about, and feel less ruled by anxiety or self-attack. If you’re ready to understand what’s shifting inside you, and want support that meets you with depth, compassion, and grounded tools, I’d be honored to walk with you.

I know it can be scary to reach out when many things seem unclear. However, I can shed light on what you are going through. Common approaches can help someone cope on a moment-to-moment basis. Meanwhile, layers of your experience can still necessitate insight and healing. A good relational space allows open dialogue and collaboration over your life situation, bringing about positive change, insight into your needs, decisions or ambivalences. I have had a career of helping many people in tough moments while providing a safe and empathic environment. I enjoy and commit to making a difference for people dealing with trauma, depression and anxiety. Moreso, my clients often feel they have someone in kinship to their journey. This provides a renewed sense of comfort, wholeness and understanding to their lives.

Bussey Holistic Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Rochester, NY

Bussey Holistic Therapy is founded on the premise that all human beings have an innate desire for balance, healing, and growth. How each person defines these concepts are individually unique. I view each client as a whole person–mind, body, and spirit. I meet each client where they are in order to help them meet their personal goals. As a therapist, I am here to partner with you on your journey. Although life has the potential to be joyful and fulfilling, at times we all face challenges. This is part of the human condition and none of us is immune. While we may generally have the resilience to cope and to move through difficult experiences, there are those times when we become aware that additional support and resources may be helpful in navigating difficult circumstances, healing from painful experiences from the past; or when we become aware of thoughts, feelings, or behaviors that we would like to address in order to live a richer life. Therapy can be a constructive resource offering a safe space to heal and grow.
