Are you feeling overwhelmed by intense emotions, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges? You’re not alone—and support is available. I am a therapist based in Suffolk County, NY specializing in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals build practical skills for managing emotions, improving relationships, and creating a life worth living.
I work with teens, young adults, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder traits, emotion dysregulation, self-harm behaviors, suicidal thoughts, impulsivity, anger, and high-risk coping patterns.
In addition to DBT, I provide treatment for eating disorders, codependency, and school refusal. I frequently work with adolescents and young adults facing academic stress, school avoidance, and life transitions, as well as individuals struggling with relationship difficulties and unhealthy patterns.
My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative.
My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes.
If you’re looking for a therapist who is skilled in DBT and experienced in working with mental health challenges, I welcome you to reach out. Together, we can work toward helping you feel more stable, confident, and connected.
