Teletherapy for 11023

Life has no shortage of stressors; therapy is an opportunity to process challenges which can lead to self-discovery and growth. Whether it’s anxiety, relationship problems, diminished self-worth, mood difficulties, school-related obstacles, parenting issues, life transitions or the like, I am committed to utilizing a personalized approach, tailoring my work and interventions to focus on each individual client – with their particular struggles and strengths. As such, I help clients become better equipped to effect change – large or small - leading to better relationships, more fulfillment and improved feelings of self-worth.

Sometimes difficult and painful emotions can become overwhelming and begin to interfere with your life. It can feel very lonely being stuck in a cycle of challenging problems that don't seem to get any better. As a therapist, my main goal is to provide a safe space to help clients with anxiety, depression and struggle due to both long-standing issues or perhaps a recent crisis. You may be dealing with major life changes, work or school problems, relationship/family conflict or other upsetting issues. With skilled and compassionate therapy, it is possible to find a way out of the pain-towards peace and happiness.

I work with individuals and couples who are dealing with personal issues, marital difficulties, communication with their partner, life transitions, family conflict, career obstacles, anxiety. In a safe, confidential, supportive space I help clients to better understand themselves and their situations. I am an interactive therapist who listens well and asks questions to make you think and see your issues in a different way. We explore patterns, reactions and experiences. We understand how the past informs the present and how present challenges can be a moment for change.

I am a Board Certified Psychotherapist with Certification as a Specialist in treating Children, Adolescents and Families. I have a Masters Degrees in Social Work from Adelphi University and a Masters Degree in Speech and Hearing Therapy from NYU I have had many years of experience in dealing with a variety of mental health issues, such as anxiety, oppositional defiance, depression, ADHD, etc. and utilize a variety of treatment approaches to therapy as I do not believe that one modality alone fits all needs.

I believe finding a therapist who strives to understand you as much as you want to understand yourself is so important.

My passion is helping my clients throughout various stages & struggles of life not only overcome what they're facing, but overall, have a better understanding of themselves and how they relate to the world.
