Lesbian Allied Therapists in Lido Beach, NY

Life is a dynamic, creative process - your therapy should be so as well. If you feel that your life is overbalanced with drudgery and that joy is often eclipsed by an unfulfilled sense of simply getting through the days - I believe I can help. If you are seeking a direct, highly interactional psychoanalyst with whom you can engage, explore, learn about yourself, and jump-start your life, I look forward to meeting with you and/or your partner.

Life can be filled with challenging moments, situations and relationships. Such encounters can cause depression, anxiety and isolation. Life events may lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms that can evolve into self-destructive behaviors or relationships. I believe that healing and insight are stimulated by an interpersonal connection provided through a therapeutic alliance between the client and the therapist. I am trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, motivational interviewing, and multiple behavioral therapies. I have years of experience as a therapist working in a renowned outpatient substance abuse and mental health facility.

I provide therapy to improve my client's reconnection with their own sense of competence and worth, improve their relationships, and reduce underlying stressors that may cause overwhelming feelings, anxiety, and/or depression. I combine psychotherapy and expressive arts to help people become better connected with their social and physical environments, live happier, and become more productive towards their own mental health.

Sometimes, life just feels overwhelming. There’s always so much to do and rarely enough time to figure it all out. You’ve consistently tried “keeping it together,” but you’re at the end of your rope, sick of hearing that story on loop in your mind telling you you’re failing or or not good enough. It seems like no matter how hard you try to feel better, nothing is working, and you’re tired of feeling tired.

Have you been thinking about beginning therapy, but feel there is just no time? You’re independent, driven, successful, but living in NYC’s fast paced environment has you feeling like your days are filled moving from one stressor to the next. Finding just a minute for yourself may feel impossible and beginning the search for a therapist overwhelming, but I assure you, starting the therapeutic process is the first step in beginning a journey to liberating yourself from the roadblocks that get in the way of living a full and meaningful life.

I help couples and individuals navigating life transitions and relationship difficulties to set boundaries and communicate their needs and wants in a way that creates the best outcomes for them and their loved ones, but some might also say that I make exploring your hard truths and expressing your vulnerabilities fun. Working together we will use evidence-based, systemic models, humor, empathy, and the occasional f-bomb to explore the parts of your life that you’re looking to change, shift the beliefs that are keeping you stuck, create connection, and let go of the parts of your life that no longer serve you in a healthy way.

I have always been passionate about my work and derive a tremendous satisfaction helping others. If you are feeling lost, alone and confused, you may not want to share that with others, yet therapy provides a safe haven. Working together on your goals can result in tremendous comfort and relief. It's risky to feel vulnerable but hopeful that you are working towards resolving what needs to be repaired in your most meaningful relationships. I'll be there to hear what concerns you, in your own words without judgment and join you in all celebrations along the way.
