Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists in East Rockaway, NY

Sometimes you wonder: Wasn't I supposed to be happy by now? When did life get so tough? PTSD and trauma make it hard to cope, while depression and anxiety rob you of the joy you deserve in life. There may be loss, and the heavy weight of grief. Or betrayal by a trusted one, such as a parent, friend, or partner. The hurt and shame that often plague survivors can shatter relationships, jobs, and happiness. Lack of understanding by those closest to you leaves you feeling alone and isolated.

Life is about change and some changes are more difficult to navigate than others. When we are stressed, anxious or depressed, it is a sign that our lives are out of balance. My focus is on providing a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental and compassionate space for adults, couples, and families to share their experiences and to help navigate through some more difficult life changes [positive or negative]; to create more balance in your life. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to make changes to improve their lives, find purpose, and meaningful fulfillment.

One of the most meaningful aspects of therapy is how it provides a person with the opportunity to discover their inner self. The gift of therapy is that it reduces loneliness, emotional pain, and secures you to your authentic self. As a therapist who has worked with individuals, couples, and families of diverse backgrounds, I have seen the impactful growth clients have achieved. I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families who are struggling with relationships and other interpersonal challenges. I use a client based strength model of therapy which emphasizes the value of the client's unique strengths and capabilities.

Are you feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed? Do you struggle with following through on making positive changes? Are you having trouble setting boundaries in your relationships? Do you just "feel off" and you're not sure what's wrong? When life inevitably throws us curveballs they often highlight our self-doubt, and negative feelings and beliefs about ourselves and others that we had been ignoring or didn't even know we had. You may have experienced loss, a difficult diagnosis, relationship or marital challenges, or you are carrying a painful trauma from your past. Maybe you are simply looking to gain clarity and self-awareness.

If you feel dissatisfied, stressed, depressed, anxious, unfocused, stuck or unhappy with yourself in any area of your life, I will work with you. Understanding and the ability to relate to others are very important to me and help create a connection as I strive to listen and provide compassion and direction to those in need. It is also most important to have a framework in order to help people achieve their goals - I do. I use the necessary therapeutic interventions that are specifically tailored to those I see which has achieved a high success rate.

Have you been feeling disengaged from the life you once enjoyed or have gone through a difficult experience and can’t seem to get back to yourself? Do you feel like you can’t get through your day, connect with your loved ones, or take care of the things that you need to? These emotions can feel extremely scary and isolating. You may be thinking that there is something wrong with you or are feeling guilty and ashamed for having such thoughts. It seems like no one can understand you. If any of this speaks to you, therapy may be the right space for you to work through the struggle.

As a therapist, my goal is not to fix, change or solve, but rather to empower, enlighten and support you on your journey to achieve your goals. I believe in creating a comfortable and non-judgemental safe space that fosters collaborations and personal growth. Seeking therapy can be difficult, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I utilize a person-centered approach, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and DBT with other therapeutic techniques to assist in gaining insight, self empowerment and personal growth.

I am committed to working with my clients to help find a meaningful way to approach life. One step toward self realization can bring purpose, peace and joy. If you are experiencing unrest, we can explore unlimited opportunities that exist in these spaces to find your personal power and unlock your innate freedom. I am fascinated and inspired by helping my clients achieve their desires by bringing them forward in the most exciting and productive ways.
