Smithtown, NY 11788
I value a collaborative approach to therapy and utilize an eclectic theoretical framework that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Committee Therapy.
I believe that beginning therapy is a courageous and positive step for a person to take in their life and I look to welcome each individual into this journey and support them along the way. I want to help clients live a life that brings them joy and fulfillment while supporting them in times where it may feel the opposite. I believe that my clients are capable of more than they believe and there is nothing more rewarding than watching this idea come to fruition in a client’s own mind.

I saw how diverse the experiences and reactions to terrible events can be while seeing the benefits of mindfulness, yoga, meditation, and acceptance in making meaning of traumatic events.
Understanding and making meaning of experiences is important to heal and move forward in life. There are times when we all feel off balance, unfocused, afraid, and alone. I work with children and adults to help them learn skills to make meaning of experiences and feelings, find what matters to them, and manage the tough and uncomfortable things that we all often push aside. I take an active approach to therapy, helping clients to identify values, goals, and changes to make them feel fulfilled. Whether I'm working with a 3 or 30 year old, I strive to be curious, empathetic, and respectful of the unique human that you are.

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are. -Carl Yung It is hard when you're told by other people you have so much in life to happy about, but you can't really feel it for yourself. Laying in bed often wondering, "Could I do more?", "Am I enough?", and "Why does it seem like I am missing something?". Asking yourself about these kinds of things are actually brave and courageous thoughts! Many times we feel alone or are afraid to share what we think and feel because no-one wants to be judged or ridiculed. To trust someone with our inner most thoughts and feelings, must be respected and protected.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
