Female Therapists in Miller Place, NY

I work mostly with women who experience issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, rage, feeling overstimulated and overwhelmed. I also assist people struggling with depression and anxiety related to everyday life issues. I am trained in EMDR which reduces negative emotion associated with trauma. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing has drastically changed how I approach trauma and has made a world of difference for the people I work with. Most of the people I work with need validation, insight and support and sometimes struggle with reaching out for help.

So many of us are feeling depressed, anxious or stressed right now. I help empower men and women so they can uncover their inner gifts and strengths and navigate through life’s challenges.
