Family Therapy in East Setauket, NY

Sometimes parts of our life can feel overwhelming and debilitating. It can be difficult to know who to turn to and what to do. I strive to build a collaborative relationship built on respect and trust, meeting each client exactly where they are. I work to foster a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment where we can effectively work together to resolve problems. I believe that most individuals possess the innate capacity to heal themselves, but may lack insight due to emotional or psychological distress.

I view therapy as a collaborative process that facilitates communication, problem-solving and self-exploration, which leads to lasting change in relationships and life. As a clinical psychologist in practice for over 27 years, I have learned that while no single type of therapy works for everyone, a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is essential to achieving growth and change. We use this relationship to learn about how you feel and behave in other significant relationships. Therapy becomes a place to try new ways of communicating and to develop new ways of seeing things. Ultimately, therapy leads to taking healthy risks in relationships and life.

Are you feeling anxious? Do you find it difficult to make friends? Are you experiencing loneliness? Struggling in school? Relationship difficulties? Life is hard. Come talk to me. Together, we will work on strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your difficulties and build meaningful social connections.
