Therapists in Plainview, NY

I applaud you on taking this important step in caring for yourself! Seeking help is not easy and requires hope and courage. As a psychologist for the past 17+ years, I have been privileged to share in the journey of many adults and couples as they navigate their emotions, identities and relationships. I am also a 1.5 generation immigrant (Filipina) and parent, interracially married, and comfortable with complexity and nuance. I know you are more than your roles, relationships and jobs. Together we will explore how to identify what may be getting in the way of you living a life of truth and authenticity based on your core values.

I utilize a strengths-based approach to help my clients recognize the skills and abilities they already possess, starting with showing up to therapy and wanting to make changes in their life. I also use a holistic approach to understand and address the ways issues in one aspect of my client’s life can lead to concerns in other areas. I apply evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Based Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy, depending on the individuals needs.
