Therapists in Rocky Point, NY

Therapy can be a scary undertaking, but I am here to offer a safe and non-judgmental environment in order to work together towards developing treatment goals. I understand that depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, low self-esteem and self-harm can impact daily functioning. We will work together to explore emotions and develop new and effective coping strategies. Working on improving communication skills and boundary setting can make a big difference!

Welcome, and congratulations on taking that first step in putting yourself first. Whether you are looking to develop tangible coping skills to control your anxiety, manage your depression, process trauma, integrate a painful loss, or delve into understanding your attachment style in relationships; I view our treatment as a means to promote greater self-understanding. My goal is simple, meet my clients where they are at, and promote flourishing. We are all resilient, the key is mastering the techniques to unlock that resilience and strength.

I specialize in working with clients who are struggling with stressful life transitions, anxiety & depression, as well as intimacy and sexual issues. I also specialize in assisting women and families through navigating all phases of family planning including infertility, loss, pregnancy, and postpartum issues. With respect, sensitivity, and expertise I will help you improve your relationships, create more meaningful connections and improve your life.

Feelings of hopelessness, shame, and grief can keep us feeling stuck. Depression and anxiety can be overwhelming, making it difficult to move forward and live our lives to the fullest. If you're here, it's because you're seeking change, and by taking this first step of seeking help, you're already on the pathway to healing - you're already doing the hard work! I want to acknowledge that seeking help takes courage, and I'm here to face the hard things with you and help you work through any wounds you may have experienced.

Sometimes there is a concrete event or change we can point to as the cause for increased anxiety, depressed mood or relationship conflicts, but other times we just feel “off” and unsure of how to get back to our sense of control or centeredness. For many people, they are living in “survival mode” – on a constant hamster-wheel trying to stay productive & avoid unpleasant feelings OR in total shutdown. However, over time that wears us down, and we need a little unbiased support to work through our inner struggles or past injuries that prevent us from living a life of contentment.

Congratulations! You’ve taken the first step to reclaiming yourself and/or your relationships. Sometimes, the first step is the hardest, and you did it! One of the main goals of therapy that I hold in the highest regard is creating a safe and non-judgmental space for you. I aim to help my clients figure out what their next step is. Whether this is as an individual, a couple, or a family. Sometimes in life, we get stuck. Let’s work together to help figure out how to get you unstuck.

Welcome to North Shore Relationship Center. Our goal as therapists is to provide a safe, non judgmental environment, to discover solutions to any problems you may be facing in order to make life more fulfilling. Whether you are looking for coping skills to manage your life better, to identify healthy communications within relationships, a need to identify negative behavior patterns within yourself or a relationship, learn ways to recover from addiction, or need a safe place and someone to talk to, we work directly with our patients to achieve any goal.

My approach is person centered and psychodynamic. I use evidence-based therapeutic practices with a foundation in existential therapy. Together, we can uncover the "why," so you may live with any "how."

I enjoy working with people to make difficult times in life, such as family or relationship conflicts, more manageable and less stressful. I understand how isolating the anxiety of these situations can be. It's like no one truly understands how you feel at times and the advice you get from others isn't always helpful. I begin my work with you by taking a complete inventory of your life and circumstances, focusing on anything that might interfere with your path to good mental health. From there, I work to help you define your values and prioritize your mental health and emotional needs, while moving forward to more peaceful times.

I am most passionate about working with individuals and couples of all varieties who have coping skills and a self care practice, but who desire to go deeper into their healing process. I work with self love, inner child work, trauma, and anxiety, and move my clients from burned out and people pleasing to a newfound sense of self, empowered and standing in divine love with kickass communication skills and boundaries.

There is nothing wrong with you. Right now you are doing the best you can with what is available to you socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. My practice centers the belief that we are inherently good and trying our best. But, circumstances and our environment aren't always conducive for living our best life. If you are feeling disempowered, disconnected, burnt out, unmotivated and generally disillusioned by the world: I am here for you.

An exciting moment happens in therapy when a personal challenge is examined from a renewed perspective. In that moment, what once seemed difficult can take on new meaning. It has the potential to become a defining moment that inspires continued change, growth, and healing. Furthering this process is the potential realization that these ideas were already innate and just awaiting connection.
