Family Therapy in White Plains, NY

Sometimes life's problems are too hard to manage on your own. It helps to talk with someone who can offer compassion, support and practical feedback to address personal challenges. In an interactive and empathetic environment, I work with people to increase their understanding of themselves, make important life changes and find a greater sense of happiness and fulfillment. Let me help you begin your journey to reaching your goals. Give me a call/email to see if we are a good fit.

Although grief is a natural response to loss, for many people learning to adapt to life without their loved one is challenging. When the loss is sudden, traumatic, or the loss of a child, the challenges can be even greater. It can be helpful to work with a therapist who understands grief and can help navigate the emotions and thoughts that accompany the loss.

In life there are so many questions that are unanswered or you might feel the need to figure out. Whether it be to find a career you’re successful in, establish steady relationships or develop new hobbies, this uncertainty may create a lot of stress in your life. For this reason, you may be struggling with feelings of not being good enough, which results in a sense of hopelessness and frustration about life and what it should be. We receive these messages from family, friends and social media that it is important to be accepted, but can simultaneously struggle with feelings of loneliness and inadequacy from trying to achieve it.
