Therapists in Brentwood, NY

Providing therapy for anxious "tweens", teens, and twenty-somethings for the past 24 years.

The need to prioritize ourselves and our mental health has never been more important. As someone who has battled with generalized anxiety, OCD, and panic disorder since childhood, I have intimate knowledge of the turmoil and suffering associated with mental health issues and how it can affect every aspect of our life. I’m also aware that our mental health is a journey of growth, which involves a daily commitment to show up for ourselves and do the work in order to craft a healthier mindset. The awareness we might want to speak to someone is the first step in making a change in our lives in order to better ourselves and our health.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed or unmotivated? Do you find yourself worrying about the future, reliving the past, or having trouble remaining in the present moment?

I utilize a person-centered, integrative approach, and draw from mindfulness-based interventions.

I am happy you are here! My ideal client is someone with a curiosity about themselves and a deep desire for self-discovery.

Together, we will explore YOU, and work to uncover the hidden patterns, beliefs, and motivations that shape your life. In our work together, you'll discover that your voice matters, your experiences are valid, and your potential for growth is limitless.

I work with individuals in all seasons of life who are struggling with chronic stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and school/career related issues. Together we will use a variety of evidenced based frameworks to address symptoms and optimize wellbeing. Through the lens of Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Integrative Wellness, we will work to set goals and create new effective patterns of coping and communication.

Do you find yourself frequently thinking, "I'm tired of feeling like this" or "I just can't do this alone"? Therapy can help you move past certain beliefs and habits that are keeping you stuck in those negative feelings. Often we have the belief that when we reach a certain point in our lives, we will be happy. However when we reach those points, we find that we are still unfulfilled. I believe that happiness is not a destination we reach, rather it is something we learn to experience as we travel our path in life.
