Therapists in Woodmere, NY

I specialize in treating teens and adults suffering from anxiety-related disorders, depression, and relationship/ familial issues. My clients typically need to be first and foremost heard and listened to, as they are coming from a vulnerable place with complicated feelings and thoughts. I aim to help them work towards understanding their feelings and how to overcome their struggles.

Understanding how your behavior impacts your family and relationship with your spouse or partner is an important step towards change. From the start, I intend to establish a strong relationship that empowers you to believe in your ability to transform. Our work together is a journey to find meaning in life and make sense of the struggles you face. By finding strength in these challenges, I allow you to realize and embrace the actions that will fuel your growth and healing.

If you find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or dissatisfied with various aspects of your life, I encourage you to reach out. When our journey together begins, we’ll spend some time getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brings you in and what you hope to accomplish. Because every individual is different, my work with each client can look different. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches and tailor sessions to help each individual client identify their goals and work towards them using the strengths, skills, and tools that we uncover and develop together.

Do you feel frustrated, anxious and irritable? Do you feel that no matter what you do to improve your wellbeing and/or the quality of your relationships is never enough? Do you want to just feel good already? The key to living a happy successful life is in your relationship with yourself and others. I have helped hundreds of people deal with life's challenges including conflict and relationships issues with partners, children, friends, coworkers etc., with their own internal issues such as anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, commitment and attachment problems and with life transitions such as parenthood, divorce, and death.

I view psychotherapy as a deeply personal process, one that is transformative. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help; finding the right therapist is crucial to your success. To achieve success, one must be supported by people they trust, find their life’s purpose, access suppressed passions, and appreciate the wisdom that can only be informed through past failures. Trust, respect, acceptance, mutuality, and empathy are foundational. My role is to assist you develop greater insight and self-awareness, feel heard, validated, and witnessed so that you can be your most authentic self.

Are you feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed? Do you struggle with following through on making positive changes? Are you having trouble setting boundaries in your relationships? Do you just "feel off" and you're not sure what's wrong? When life inevitably throws us curveballs they often highlight our self-doubt, and negative feelings and beliefs about ourselves and others that we had been ignoring or didn't even know we had. You may have experienced loss, a difficult diagnosis, relationship or marital challenges, or you are carrying a painful trauma from your past. Maybe you are simply looking to gain clarity and self-awareness.
