Therapists in Northport, NY

I conduct CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), TF-CBT (trauma-focused CBT), ABA (behavioral therapy), solution-focused therapy, and structural and strategic family therapy. I love learning about neurobiology and the effects that stress has on the brain. Interpersonally, a client coming into session with me can expect to encounter a warm, compassionate, and encouraging soul who has a dry sense of humor and tends to address problems in a straightforward manner.

I work with individuals, couples and families. I have been very successful guiding people through anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, couples conflict, family dynamic challenges. I work with people who are journeying through their recovery, helping them to examine their triggers. The key is always in the patient who has the courage to be open to finding out who they truly are. I consider myself blessed and privileged to work in this field and to be invited into the lives of others in order to assist them in having a better life.

Are you feeling as if everything in your life is spiraling downward? Perhaps you are tired, sad, lonely, having difficulties concentrating and focusing. Are you having difficulty coping with an event that occurred in your past? You may be feeling fearful or mistrustful of others as a result of this past event. Do you feel anxious and find yourself constantly worrying about things? Is your relationship with your significant other plagued with constant fighting? Do you feel like no matter what you do, nothing ever gets better? Do you feel like giving up? I am here to let you know, that you are not alone, and there is help.

I have God, so why do I feel this way?? Just because you have your faith does not make you immune to life’s ups and downs. Anxiety and Depression are very real. It is not something you can just white-knuckle your way through. And no one expects you to. Maybe the issue is further complicated because you are struggling with an eating disorder or have a family history of depression. Whether these feelings are due to circumstances that are out of your hands or something biochemical is happening, you don’t have to figure it out alone. We are a Christian counseling practice that seeks to come along side you on this journey.

Life can be difficult. There’s no denying this. And, at times, life can seem even more difficult. Have you been feeling sad, stressed, worried, confused, frustrated, angry, or at a bit of a loss? Perhaps you’ve experienced, or are facing, a transition in life (e.g., a break-up, divorce, loss of a loved one, medical challenge, retirement, engagement, marriage, etc.) that is leaving you feeling any number of ways. Or maybe you're feeling a certain way and don't know why. If so, you're likely looking to find some peace, clarity, understanding, and support so you can live a happier, healthier, and more authentic life.
