You're ready for help from someone who can understand, hear what you're going through, and focus on your goals. It's important to express yourself to an excellent listener as well as receive trained and professional input. It's meaningful to have a support system to provide active guidance yet also believe in your inherent capabilities and potential. As a therapist with clinical and life experience, who believes everyone has their own strengths, I work collaboratively with clients. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches to help clients deal with feeling down, depressed, anxious and overwhelmed.

My approach to treatment is to focus on the person and where they are currently struggling. It is important for everyone to have an outlet and a way to engage in daily self care and coping skills. Recognizing triggers and building boundaries are essential for our wellness. I understand that deciding to come to therapy is a huge decision and a choice that is not always easy.

Life can be a challenging at times! Feeling stuck is a hard place to be. Awareness that you need to make a change in your attitude, your relationships or your goals is a big step. Doing the work to improve your quality of your life is a tough task. I am a caring, compassionate professional who has a few openings for new clients.

Are you having trouble in a relationship, feeling overwhelmed, overcome, anxious or depressed? Are you experiencing difficulties with a child, spouse/significant other or parent? For over 30 years I have helped individuals, couples and families become healthier. I have extensive experience helping clients deal with anxiety, depression, conflict, intimacy, communication, and personal growth. I have the training, insight and experience needed to work with my clients to define problem areas and make the changes needed to live happier lives.

Do you find yourself bingeing, obsessing about food and your body, no matter what you do? Did your drinking or drug use cause shame, regrets, or mood swings? An Eating Disorder or Addiction can leave us feeling guilty, out of control and disconnected from ourselves. You may be fed up with your body and food rules, feeling disgusted or hopeless. You might not even remember a time it didn't feel this way. You feel ready for some RELIEF. You are ready to have a life free anxiety, guilt and obsessions. You're ready to feel energized and show up in life. Most of all, you're ready to have peace with yourself and all your relationships.

I am a clinical psychologist with a private practice in Plainview, NY. In my sessions I help people ages 4 through adulthood learn and practice skills to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and behavioral difficulties using CBT and dynamic therapy. I work closely with parents to help implement the skills that have been taught to their kids in our sessions.

While earning my doctorate in child and school psychology at New York University, I had the opportunity to work in hospitals, schools and private practice providing psychotherapy and administering evaluations to children, adolescents and adults. While I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, I have a passion for working with adolescents/teenagers and young adults and guiding them to raise self-awareness, encourage self-esteem and self-love and ultimately make positive changes to become happier individuals.

Has your anxiety been rearing its head? Anxiety/worry were put in overdrive due to this pandemic. There is so much uncertainty and feelings of being uncomfortable in situations we never had a problem with before. Our ways of coping were either taken away or we had to adapt.

People experiencing anxiety, depression and personal conflicts are riddled with pain and fear. Daily functioning, be it, personal, work or family matters can be a struggle. Sometimes people may say to you "just get over it". This can lead to increased social isolation and lowered self-esteem. Work or academic performance can suffer and relationships can be adversely affected. I, as an experienced psychologist, will work in collaborative effort with you so that these problems can be addressed through a thoughtful and sensitive approach utilizing evidence-based cognitive behavioral psychotherapeutic treatment.

I believe that certain patterns of behavior that impede personal growth are deeply rooted in our early experiences and relationships. They are largely outside of our awareness. Insight into how these experiences shape our perceptions, views and behaviors are illuminated through our work together within the therapeutic relationship. With clarity and a greater understanding of one's repetitive patterns, lasting change can be achieved as well as a sense of personal empowerment.

My philosophy is to approach each person as unique with personal strengths. In a supportive atmosphere I will help you explore ingrained and disruptive patterns, to enhance personal growth, improve self esteem, mood and personal relationships. I see therapy as a partnership that allows for a respectful give and take relationship. The ultimate goal is for you to reach your highest level of happiness and satisfaction in your life. During this very difficult time I am offering varied ways of doing therapy including unlmtd. text, video and audio messaging and weekly sessions with billing packages to address financial effects of Covid.

You deserve to be happy. Life can be difficult. Don't go it alone. Allow me to help you explore the things that are keeping you "stuck," whether it be relationships, career, health or addiction. Sometimes you just need to process feelings with an objective listener, one that can get to the heart of what's really going on and help you to live life in a more satisfying, productive manner. I have been helping individuals, couples and families move through crises and live happier, healthier lives. I can help you, too!

You want individualized therapy in a private, comfortable environment. You want only experienced therapists with specific background in working with your unique challenges and issues. You are looking for caring, focused, effective therapists who will develop strategies that will work for you.
