Therapists in Rye, NY

At the heart of my practice lies the intersection of science and art, imbued with humor, care, and creativity. Perhaps you find yourself carrying a heavy weight on your shoulder or navigating your days with a tightness in your chest and lack of energy. It’s possible you’ve been prioritizing others’ needs and neglecting your own, or realizing you don’t recognize the script guiding your life. You might be carrying the burden of guilt and shame or finding that your relationships are not what you want them to be.

As a psychologist with over 20 years of private practice experience, I understand what it means to commit to change and begin the process of therapy. I know that if you have reached out to me, you want to address whatever feeling or behavior is getting in your way and preventing you or a loved one from living fully and moving forward freely. My training includes psychodynamic, interpersonal and cognitive approaches, at both graduate and post-graduate levels, and my role is to listen and understand how best to tailor and apply what I have learned to what you need.

I am a fully licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in working with people who are experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. I work specifically with the adolescent and young adult communities. I utilize aspects of psychodynamic psychotherapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I can help you learn ways to cope with overwhelming emotions, as well as explore how your personal history impacts your emotions and relationships.

Therapy is a process of discovery and change, which, although often challenging, I believe is always an endeavor worth taking. As I greatly respect one's decision to make this commitment to themselves, I take an active approach in the therapy process and work collaboratively with my clients towards healing and insight. I primarily make use of psychodynamic techniques with a general focus on helping to increase self-awareness, a sense of wellbeing, and a sense of empowerment to achieve desired change. However, it is important to note that treatment goals established by my clients and me are individualized to meet each client's needs.

Welcome. Are you struggling in your interpersonal relationships? Do you find yourself overwhelmed by worries and intrusive thoughts? Do past negative experiences keep you from moving forward and achieving your goals? I can help you get to where you want to be. I have over 10 years working in the field in various mental health settings. My empathetic and nonjudgmental approach creates a safe and supportive space for you to explore your emotions and confront life's challenges. I can help you to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and achieve improved mental and emotional well-being.

I have 20+ years as a psychologist helping clients with anxiety, depression, grief/loss and relationship conflicts. I work with adolescents, college students, adults and couples who are struggling with life's challenges or feeling stuck. I offer a non-judgmental, empathic space where we can sort through your emotions/worries and help you gain new perspectives & coping skills so that you are better able to gain clarity, build resilience and work toward your goals and objectives. With my certification as a Health/Wellness Coach, I offer a holistic perspective to understand/guide you through emotional, cognitive and wellness struggles

As a clinical and school psychologist, I work with children, adolescents, and adults in the areas of depression, anxiety, social skills, executive functioning skills, ADHD, stress and more.

My greatest strength is engaging clients, making them feel comfortable with me and the theraputic process right off the bat. I create an environment of trust, lack of judgment, empathy, and most importantly hope. Once trust between myself and the client has been established, I challenge clients to reach beyond their comfort zone. In my office, which is a nurturing environment, I can expose patients who have obsessive, anxious, depressed, or self destructive thoughts to other ways of being and seeing the world. I work with clients of all ages (from 6 years to 60 years) to conquer fears and lead freer, more content lives.

Finding someone you can trust and feel comfortable opening-up to is one of the first steps in entering therapy. I have a relaxed, empathic demeanor and create an environment where you can feel free to talk openly and not be judged. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have 20+ years of experience. I am certified in EMDR, Family Systems Theory and Contextual Family Therapy. I have also completed training at the Ackerman Institute in EFT for Couples (Emotionally Focused Therapy). I have worked in a number of high schools in Westchester County and am well-aware of the issues going on with teenagers and families today.

If you are feeling sad, anxious, or simply unhappy, you are definitely not alone. My philosophy is that people do the best they can with what they have, but sometimes anxiety, stress, grief, depression and relationship issues can contribute to our feeling stuck. My genuine belief is that change is always possible and begins with being motivated to do something different. My approach is both collaborative and supportive and will help you explore the changes you'd like to make in order to live a more meaningful and purposeful life.

As a psychotherapist, I see the strengths in others and always maintain hope and commitment to growth and development. With our relationship as the foundation, therapy can become a fascinating process of getting to know and develop one's true self, resulting in a greater sense of authenticity, vitality, connection and well-being. It's essential to find a therapist who is a good fit for you; my style is warm and involved, respectful and attentive. We will look for old patterns that are no longer working, and explore new possibilities within the safe confines of the therapy room.

I love working with teenagers and young adults. I respect and admire the spirit of adolescents. I appreciate the courage and the struggle that it takes to become an adult in these times. I have a great deal of experience with all of the issues that young adults face: academic stress, transition to college, relationship issues, conflicts with parents, identity issues, sexuality, body image issues, drinking/using drugs to cope, divorce, loss, loneliness, and general moodiness. I also provide support for parents, and enjoy working with couples of all ages.

I grew up in San Francisco and got my BA from the University of Pennsylvania and my MS in Social work from Columbia University, where I received the Dean's Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement. I view my role as being a "Sherpa" (experienced guide), walking with you, helping you acquire the tools, skills and insights to handle life's difficulties and challenges and identifying and navigating the obstacles. We all need help at times, and I will be by your side to provide comfort, support and guidance. I offer both individual therapy and grief support groups. Finding the right "Sherpa" can make all the difference.

My ideal client is one who is highly motivated to change. I counsel clients in individual, couple, or group sessions to assist them in dealing with mental or physical illness as well as depression and anxiety due to unemployment and personal issues. I also assist in family and marital conflict. I collaborate with physicians and nurse practitioners for treatment planning and medication needs and am adept at conflict resolution. I encourage telehealth visits and may be able to be more accommodating to your time schedule via a virtual session. My core competencies are critical thinking and being highly principled and ethical.
