Therapists in Syosset, NY

I practice Holistic Psychology and am passionate about making evidence-based therapeutic practices accessible. Therapy with me is collaborative, flexible, and strengths-based. My approach is grounded in scientifically-backed methods with specialized training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). I see clients of all ages ranging from young childhood through adulthood, including families and couples.

Some people come to therapy to process trauma. Some people have stressful jobs, difficulties in school, or other life challenges and want to unlock coping skills. Some people are worried or sad or both and do not know why or how to feel better. As a licensed clinical social worker, I use my clinical experience and training to guide you in your self-exploration. I believe that people deserve to enjoy life and to suffer less. I can provide you with an objective professional perspective and I will listen, empower, and support you on your journey.

I am a licensed New York State psychotherapist treating individuals and couples in a range of mental health conditions. If you are seeking support or guidance through a challenging time or are simply interested in personal growth and development, I look forward to working with you.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe change comes from within you when you are ready. Once you have taken that first step, I will be there to help facilitate your therapeutic journey. Having a safe place to speak openly about what troubles you are facing is my top priority. Together let's improve relationships, coping and healing from life's challenges, and achieving emotional relief using compassion and mindfulness.

Trying to pick the right therapist can be a challenge. You can think of our first meeting more like a conversation, where we will go over what you are experiencing and how I can help you materialize your goals, values, and priorities. I offer a safe, comfortable, and compassionate space where we can explore how to reduce your suffering and help you get to where you want to be. For years, I have made it my purpose to help others resolve their internal pain and heartache. Although I tailor my approach for each client, I tend to consistently utilize EMDR, psychodynamic, gestalt, DBT, and narrative theoretical orientations.

Has your relationship lost that “spark” that it once had? Do you and your partner find yourselves in the same cycle of fighting over seemingly meaningless things? Do you find yourself constantly on edge over things your partner says or does? Does it feel like there isn’t any romance, intimacy, or sex anymore? Do you feel stuck and hopeless? It can feel like you’re with a different person or someone that you don’t even know anymore. The arguments seem to happen more frequently and feel more intense. This leads to resentment and anger, which only continues the argumentative cycle. Being in this place can feel hopeless and hurtful.
