Therapists in Farmingdale, NY

Anxiety, depression, anger, insecurities, and trauma can make even our simplest daily routine seem daunting and prevent us from living a full, happy life. Addressing the issues that contribute to these symptoms increases self-esteem, improves relationships, optimizes work/school performance, and helps with over-all quality of life—but it does not have to be done alone. Therapy can provide you with the support and tools you need to overcome challenges in these areas and live your life to your full potential.

I am a firm believer that everyone can benefit from therapy. My primary goal is to make each of my client’s therapeutic experiences as comfortable and safe as possible. I have worked with clients of all ages, including children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and seniors. Using a client-centered approach, I work with my clients to develop positive coping skills in order to tackle life’s stressors. I have experience working with clients with a variety of diagnoses, including but not limited to substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders.

Working with adolescents and young adults has always been my passion. As a former school counselor, I use my knowledge of the school system in conjunction with cognitive behavioral therapy to guide teens throughout their educational experience. With specializations in ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, and LGBTQ, I work closely with each individual client to determine goals and create a realistic long-term plan.

I work with children, teens, and adults of all ages to identify areas of stress and assess for symptoms of anxiety, depression, relationship conflict and more. Together we will develop treatment goals and a clear path for change.

As a therapist, my goal is not to fix, change or solve, but rather to empower, enlighten and support you on your journey to achieve your goals. I believe in creating a comfortable and non-judgemental safe space that fosters collaborations and personal growth. Seeking therapy can be difficult, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I utilize a person-centered approach, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and DBT with other therapeutic techniques to assist in gaining insight, self empowerment and personal growth.
