Therapists in Mohegan Lake, NY

My clients come to me with issues that include: feeling that their previous therapist was "just listening" and not practical; grappling with a sense of belonging as a multicultural individual in NYC; facing existential issues of meaning and purpose despite having outward success; dealing with relationship issues, family drama, stress, burnout, confidence issues, impostor syndrome, or lack of fulfillment. I also counsel couples, families and business partners hoping to improve the quality of their relationship; executives, MBAs and entrepreneurs seeking performance coaching; artists and creatives dealing with creative block.

If you find yourself struggling to navigate life in what feels like a messy, complicated, relentless world, reaching out for help can feel overwhelming. I strive to create a space where you can fully explore and process your thoughts, feelings and experiences, without judgement. I believe that therapy looks different for everyone, and it can even vary session to session. Most importantly, it is a collaborative process that works best when you feel truly seen and heard.

I applaud you on taking this important step in caring for yourself! Seeking help is not easy and requires hope and courage. As a psychologist for the past 17+ years, I have been privileged to share in the journey of many adults and couples as they navigate their emotions, identities and relationships. I am also a 1.5 generation immigrant (Filipina) and parent, interracially married, and comfortable with complexity and nuance. I know you are more than your roles, relationships and jobs. Together we will explore how to identify what may be getting in the way of you living a life of truth and authenticity based on your core values.

Do you feel like you are struggling with grief, grief related trauma or anxiety? Most often we understand grief by the physical death of a person or the grief that comes with someone you know being terminally ill awaiting death. However, grief can be the loss of: a relationship, a career, a pet, a culture, and a hobby/interest. The process or journey of grief affects everyone and expresses differently. I am here to support you in treating grief and identifying solutions to improve your quality of life while honoring your cultural values and needs on your own pace.

I utilize a strengths-based approach to help my clients recognize the skills and abilities they already possess, starting with showing up to therapy and wanting to make changes in their life. I also use a holistic approach to understand and address the ways issues in one aspect of my client’s life can lead to concerns in other areas. I apply evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Based Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy, depending on the individuals needs.

If you're struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, or just having difficulty managing relationships and life transitions, sometimes it's hard not to feel stuck when you feel like you don't know where to start. Whether you're a beginner in therapy or have had it before and wanting to start up again, we're here to help.

Struggling in your adjustment to different areas of your life ? Need someone to come alongside you as you tackle issues in your life ? I am here. I am a dedicated counselor who is known for her caring manner and for her belief that the children, adolescent, adult, elders and family deserve to be heard and given a helping hand by sincere and empathetic professionals.

I’m a psychotherapist who works best helping goal-oriented, high-functioning clients get results through deep, exploratory work while providing tools and insights that bring about change. I create a safe, open space where clients can fully explore their inner world and how it influences their actions and behavior, especially in parts where they feel stuck. It is my goal to help clients be fully aware of their internal processes in order to create authentic and meaningful lives. My practice is focused on working with adults in individual therapy.

Do you feel stuck? Many people begin psychotherapy because they feel something is "off". They are dissatisfied, but unclear about what they want; they feel that "something is missing," but they're not sure what it is. Others begin psychotherapy because they find themselves repeatedly cycling through unhealthy relationship patterns and they want to change. Additionally, we all have traumas and woundings within us, to varying degrees. Psychotherapy can help untangle these knots and move you through suffering and pain towards greater health, integration, wholeness, vitality, and well-being.
