Therapists in Stewart Manor, NY

Are you feeling stagnant but can't seem to get "unstuck"? Grappling with shame and guilt from past wounds? Living in fear-based cycles or struggling with harmful relationship patterns? Maybe you're seeking a greater sense of peace, balance and inner security? Sometimes our past can cast shadows that eclipse our hope for a better future and rob us of our joy in the present moment. While the path toward healing can be daunting, you don't have to go it alone. Taking the first step can be one of the hardest, most pivotal and rewarding of the journey.

I firmly believe that the longest distance one will ever travel is that between the heart and the mind, and I'm here to assist you on your journey, helping to traverse or close that gap. I am well-versed in and deeply believe in the connection between the mind and body, working with you to become the best version of yourself. As a practitioner of Transcendental Meditation along with a foundation in non-dualism, Buddhism, and Zen, I foster a unique therapeutic experience. I also use stress management in our work using diverse methods such as mindfulness-based meditation, self-hypnosis, guided imagery, and visualization.

You aim for success and often achieve it! But somehow an empty feeling sometimes arises and the healthier, inner, emotional life you value feels just out of reach. Perhaps at times the relationships you hold dear are affected in ways you don't intend. Some things seem out of alignment for you despite the many things you do right, you're uncertain how to attain the inner well-being you crave and believe in. Perhaps a sense of purposelessness haunts you or you yearn for greater self-understanding, or the ability to feel more at ease within yourself. Give yourself the opportunity to be more fully heard on your thoughts and concerns.

I work with adults (over age 21) who are looking to overcome fears and struggles by helping them learn effective ways to cope and set and maintain boundaries. My goal is to guide individuals on the road to healing, empowerment, and success.

I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to be seen and heard; a space where one can speak openly without fear of judgement.
