Therapists in Somers, NY

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.

Anxiety distorts our thinking and can complicate our lives. As a trauma-informed therapist, I help my clients heal from the experiences that made them feel unsafe, insecure, and disconnected from others. To truly live in the present without anxious distress, we must discover what experiences we are holding onto with therapeutic support. I have been helping clients heal from trauma for over a decade. I treat each person I work with as a unique individual and do not believe in one approach to therapy. I specialize in treating PTSD. I also work with clients who struggle with addiction and anxiety.

I approach my work with clients from a non-judgmental, empathetic, caring and nurturing approach. Therapy should be driven by the clients needs and a safe place to bring issues and concerns, without fear of judgment or rejection.

I hope through our time spent together, you will have the opportunity to explore areas of concerns, as well as feel better and less stressed in your daily life.
