Marriage Counseling Therapists in Cambria Heights, NY

Life is a journey filled with challenges, and for many, the journey can be a very difficult one. My role as a counselor is to offer guidance, in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment, to people who are seeking help to navigate through the myriad of mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges they encounter. My goal is to offer an authentic human connection that will enable my clients to feel that I have their best interests at heart. I want to walk with my clients through their struggles, sit with them through their difficult moments, and experience with them the joy that comes with healing.

Within each of us is a deeper or higher self we can contact. Through Meditation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Hypnosis, and Gestalt Therapy, I help people contact this part of themselves, shed negative patterns of behavior, and realize their full potential. I am a psychologist and therapist who focuses on marriage counseling, ADHD, Alcohol and substance abuse, identity formation and parenting issues. I address feelings of emptiness, difficulties in managing emotions, relationships, anger, anxiety and depression in order to increase your level of self-awareness which can be totally life changing. I also do psychological evaluations for court, custody, bariatric and academic achievement.

Our thoughts, emotions and behaviors essentially create our lives! They can create within us tremendous sadness or overwhelming joy.
