Middle Island, NY 11953
I work with adults and adolescents seeking compassionate, collaborative care—people who are motivated to grow, curious about understanding themselves, and ready to make meaningful changes. I welcome clients navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.
I provide a warm & collaborative space to support you in becoming the best version of yourself. Together we'll clarify your values and create goals that feel right for you, using a holistic, mindful approach that honors your strengths and pace. I draw from CBT, person-centered, and solution-oriented methods to tailor practical skills & gain deeper insight.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by worry, low mood, or emotional reactivity; struggling in relationships or after a breakup/divorce; facing career or identity transitions; coping with past trauma that affects daily life; or wanting practical tools & clarity to live more in line with your values then let's connect and see if we are a good fit.

We begin by building a safe, nonjudgmental relationship and clarifying your values and goals. Using an eclectic approach that integrates CBT, DBT, person-centered, and solution-focused techniques, I help you develop practical skills (emotion regulation, cognitive restructuring, mindfulness), process difficult experiences, and create achievable steps that align with your values.
