Therapists in Armonk, NY

My primary aim in my work is to meet my clients "where they are" by tuning in to their unique concerns and creating an atmosphere where they feel acknowledged and at ease. My style is warm, empathic and engaged which, combined with my acumen as a seasoned clinician, helps adults, children, parents and families feel comfortable and secure. Within this safe space, my clients express their concerns and work to repair and optimize wholesome development with professional recommendations that help to inform a collaborative therapeutic plan.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of direct clinical experience. I specialize in working with culturally diverse young adults (aprx age 18-35) who are having difficulty regulating themselves and experiencing some level of emotional and/or behavioral distress, which sometimes leads to significant problems in school, at work, and/or in relationships with oneself and others. Often, this distress can be eased with increased self-awareness that supports your ability to regulate your internal experience so your emotions feel manageable, your thoughts are more comforting, and you have more control over your behavior.

Have you ever felt like you're tirelessly trying to keep pace in a world that doesn't quite align with your rhythm? Do you find yourself grappling with negative self-talk, guilt and ‘should-haves’? Why do things seem effortless for others but not for you? Do you often feel that your needs aren't met? You want to feel good about life and find meaningful connections but you struggle to do so. If this resonates with you, know that you are not alone in these feelings. In a world that often misunderstands, there's a place where your experiences are fully appreciated. If you have anxiety, Autism or ADHD then this is a safe space for you.

Life’s transitions, especially during young adulthood, can be challenging. Feelings of isolation and a lack of belonging can cause immense suffering. With nearly two decades of experience working with adolescents and young adults, I’m dedicated to guiding individuals through the complexities of transitioning into adulthood. Through collaborative and client-centered methods, I aid clients in making positive changes by examining and working through unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors.

Attention...what does it take to get our attention? Usually, it's something unfamiliar. I work with individuals who experience a "symptom," a grief, a depression, an anxiety, a life-threatening illness, a crisis in an important relationship; a time when you are asked to pause, to pay attention to your self and bring curiosity to your life. A symptom is an invitation to look at the story of your life and visit where you have felt alone and where you need to come home to yourself in order to make this issue transform and experience more fulfillment.

Feeling alone, anxious, sad, hurt, or depressed in this uncertain world? It's difficult to bear alone. This often interferes with every day life, if not peace of mind. Maybe I can help you. Practicing for many years as a psychotherapist, I have come to know what a difference it makes when you have a trusted empathic person to talk to. I provide a safe, confidential space and hope to form that empathic understanding bond with you. It is there that you can discuss your fears and/or anxieties, and find resolutions and options in your life where you feared there were none.

Psychotherapy is an endeavor that many people seek to improve the overall quality of their lives. Whether one is experiencing conflict within relationships, difficulties coping with stress, a specific life problem, or acute symptoms, the insights, skills and increased awareness that come from psychotherapy can be invaluable. I work with patients to help create and maintain satisfying relationships, decrease emotional distress, develop healthy and effective coping strategies, cultivate self esteem and healthy self image, and increase satisfaction with life.

I am an LGBTQ+ affirmative, trauma informed, sex therapist, who works with both individuals and couples. My approach to the work is relational and interpersonal. Therapy is a place where you can be your truest self, without judgement. It is also a place to explore difficult and sometimes painful topics. I work with individuals and couples who want to feel more comfortable with their sexuality, improve sexual functioning, and have more intimacy in relationships overall. We will explore many aspects of life and relationships that might be impacting sexual functioning including culture, upbringing, religion, biology, and more.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and alone or suddenly feel that you cannot communicate your needs effectively to those most important in your life? I believe that through the connection that exists in a positive therapeutic relationship, individuals can learn to heal themselves and their relationships while fully experiencing all that life has to offer. As a team we will work together to discover and understand longstanding patterns of thinking and feeling which keep us from fully understanding ourselves and what motivates our behavior. With guidance and support clients will begin to better understand themselves.

Anxieties, insecurity, depression, difficult patterns in relationships or work, and problems focusing can be understood and changed, so you have more energy and confidence to devote to living. Become more connected to yourself and others through a specialized process of exploration with a trained professional, and see a difference in your life. A therapist's expertise and experience are very important, but the key ingredient of effective therapy is a "good fit" between you and your therapist. If you'd like to see how it would be to work together, I would be pleased to hear from you.

Have you experienced the death or loss of a family member or close friend? Have you experienced crime, such as sexual assault or sexual abuse as a child? Have you been harmed by parents, siblings, friends, people in authority, acquaintances and/or strangers? Crime, harm and loss can be traumatic and life-altering. It can feel like there is nowhere safe and no one to turn to or trust. My approach is client-centered, non-judgmental, gentle and nurturing. During our work together you will explore and discover inner strengths and resources that will help you heal and feel empowered.

Throughout the 50 years I have been helping clients improve their lives, the resilience of the human spirit continually amazes me. I see therapy as a collaboration: my job is to listen carefully to the issues and concerns that worry and frustrate you and your job is to present your concerns to me. Together we will develop a working relationship with the goal of helping you overcome your problems and fears. It is my pleasure to join you in this journey.
