Therapists in Rye Brook, NY

Maybe you’re struggling with anxious thoughts, and worry has a hold on you. Or perhaps you just don’t feel like yourself. Or maybe you need help navigating a challenging season or past painful experiences have left you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to enjoy life fully. Whatever it is, please know you don’t have to face it alone. As humans I know there are times in our lives when we can benefit from extra help. I also know from personal experience how challenging it can be to ask for help. Letting someone into the most intimate parts of your life can be very uncomfortable, but none of us are meant to journey this life alone.

Relationships can bring us the greatest joys in life- but sometimes they cause us the deepest pain. You may feel "I'm not enough" which leads you to giving-up, giving-in, or giving too much of yourself. You may be your own worst enemy with your strong, active self-critical voice- keeping you stuck in those patterns of demanding too much of yourself and asking too little from others. You may find yourself stuck in a spiral of thoughts and emotions. We'll get to the root causes so you can show up with your best parts. If you experience relational, career, or internal dissatisfaction, long for something more and a way out, I can help.

I help individuals, couples, and families dealing with a broad range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, childhood trauma, life transitions, infertility and grief.

Rize-Up Together was started by three women of The Bronx who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities where confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Rize-Up Together began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

My ideal clients are women who may be struggling with their emotions and anxiety. They are looking to change their mindset about somethings in their life, or looking to gain a new perspective on the things that are currently going on. They are open and honest about the things that they want and ready to put the work in to go after what they want for their future!

With over two decades of experience in faith-based psychotherapy, mental health counseling and inpatient rehabilitation, I am uniquely competent integrating clinical expertise and Christian spirituality in a holistic approach to thoughts, emotions and behaviors. I specialize in sexual addiction breakthrough, substance abuse recovery, OCD treatment (ERP and ACT), trauma processing (EMDR), anxiety relief, relational connection, anger management, identity formation and faith/work/life/sex integration. I see couples and adult clients, and have other counselors (with lower fees) at my practice who work with adolescents and children.

Life has its way of sending us on paths that we’ve never actually intended to be on. Have you ever put an address in your GPS and while you’re driving, it starts saying, “Rerouting”? It’s sort of like living life with a plan (or even without one) and the unexpected sends you for a tailspin. Welcome to this thing we call ‘life.’ Especially during these days. *sigh and group hug*

Why do we keep arguing about the same things over and over again? I've tried to forgive you but I can't stop thinking that I would be happier with someone else. I don't know if it's worth the fight anymore. We've grown apart and I don't remember the last time we've experienced real connection, maybe you've never even loved me. I'm insecure and doubtful that things will change. Everyone says I deserve better. I'm not sure where we are anymore and I need support getting back to love. I just need a safe space without judgement to be vulnerable and say the things that I'm really feeling. Have you found yourself asking these questions?

Are you a professional managing a career, dealing with family obligations or perhaps addressing life transitions that are causing you to feel insecure and unmanageable? I get it. There are days you feel like you’ve lost control, can't make decisions or you question your choices especially if you’re feeling overwhelmed. You may even want to give up! And that’s OK. We don’t always have the answers or the energy to do it all. The expectations that others put on us or the ones we put on ourselves, rarely gives us permission to make mistakes. When do you give yourself permission to care of YOU?

Whether you're transitioning to a new job, anxious about a relationship, navigating a recent loss, these adjustments can feel stressful and overwhelming. I have experience working with trauma, grief, life transitions, depression, anxiety, relational difficulties, and academic/occupational issues. I enjoy working with college/graduate students and young professionals. am trained in a range of modalities including CBT and DBT, but overall, I am person-centered, attachment based and psychodynamically oriented. Thus, I approach therapy from a trauma-focused lens, providing a safe space for clients to process all thoughts and feelings.

You know that feeling of disconnection between your head and your heart? When you're struggling and know that the feedback you're getting from trusted loved ones is logical, but for some reason it just isn't making you feel better? If you could just "think" or "do" your way out of pain, you probably wouldn't be here. Emotions always show up for good reason - even when they don't seem to fit. God created the spectrum of emotions to be felt, seen, heard, and understood. When we don't have a safe place to explore them, they get ignored, buried, stuck, and confusing, and they can no longer do their job. This creates disconnection.
