Intervention Therapists in Nassau County, NY

As a therapist with over 30 years experience, I focus my practice on life transitions such as divorce, grief/loss, retirement, medical issues, ageism, "empty nest" syndrome and moving. I also assist in helping clients, couples and families struggling with relationships and/or addictions. Once thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are validated, discussed, re-structured, and re-directed, an opportunity for positive transformation, for better physical and emotional health, and for a wonderful quality of life will result.

All of us can become overwhelmed by life's demands, work responsibilities and relationship challenges. Struggles may seem to resolve over time but yet the same conflicts keep popping up again and again. Attempts to resolve or neutralize their impact, stretch our limits and move boundaries and abandon goals; ultimately losing sight of who we are. I encourage you to take a risk: give yourself permission and time to sort through your thoughts and feelings so you can restore energy and clarity to re-assess personal needs and goals.
