Therapists in Northport, NY

Struggling in your relationship? Whether you're dealing with the aftermath of infidelity, facing communication, trust and intimacy issues, feeling like your partner doesn't understand you, or dealing with a divorce, we' re here! What sets us apart is our structured approach. We'll start with weekly sessions, then transition to biweekly, and eventually monthly meetings. Plus, after your "graduation", we'll have two check-ins per year to ensure those healthy habits stick. In between sessions, we'll assign tasks to work on your relationship, and you'll have access to us outside of appointments for advice and support.

My passion is working with individuals struggling with everyday issues that challenge each of us at different stages of life. I take an experiential approach with my clients, which is "learning through reflection on doing".

For 20 years, I have had a private clinical practice. My post-graduate education has focused on marriage, post-traumatic stress, gender identification, abandonment, trauma, adult-children of alcoholics, women's issues, divorce adjustment, grief and phobias.
