Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Farmingdale, NY

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, frustrated or stressed? Is it effecting your sleep, work, motivation, personal relationships, or feel like you are stuck in a rut? Is it impacting other areas like your sex life, drinking too much, or turning to other unhealthy outlets? To make it worse, you feel all alone because anyone you talk with passes judgment or says that you are wrong for how you feel. How would it feel to find help from someone who is non-judgmental, will truly understand you, and be there for you every step of the way no matter what?

I believe that every person deserves to be genuinely happy and that no one should face their challenges alone. I am here to provide you with the support and skills you need to manage uncomfortable and unwanted mental health symptoms. While some may imagine their therapy experience to consist of traditional questions such as “how does that make you feel?”, I consider myself more of a modern therapist in which I effectively assist individuals to develop skills and learn tools that help them to manage difficulties in life.

Do you find yourself unable to cope with daily life stressors? Are you currently struggling with addictive, impulsive or self destructive behaviors that are impacting your current functioning and relationships? Are your emotions and mood becoming harder to regulate? If so, you have come to the right place. I help address these experiences by integrating multiple therapeutic modalities, with a specific emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to target maladaptive thoughts and behavioral patterns you may be engaging in.

Our childhood, history, and personal myths about ourselves are powerful forces that have the ability to shape our interpersonal relationships and behaviors; worldview and ourselves. At some point, we all have experiences, challenges or life altering experiences that will have the ability to change our trajectory, bring us to a cross road or that will challenge our core beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. Through my work with individuals, families and couples I have enjoyed helping others to navigate these obstacles in order to transform these adverse experiences into opportunities of growth.

As an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R), I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including children, adolescents, adults, and couples. With a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I strive to create a rich, fulfilling, and effective therapeutic experience for individuals and couples in treatment. CBT, as you may know, emphasizes the interplay between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By focusing on the present moment and exploring new ways of thinking, clients can experience positive changes in their lives.
