Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Bedford Hills, NY

With compassion and acceptance, I would like to help alleviate the distress you may be experiencing at this point in your life. In the safety of my office, we can explore areas in which you may feel stuck or overwhelmed. I have worked extensively with individuals seeking to overcome addictions; who wish to make sense of relationships; who are struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, loss, or sexuality; and who are experiencing major life transitions. By looking at internal dialogue and seeing where thought patterns may be self-defeating, I can help shift these to more optimal, self-nurturing thinking.

Reaching out for help can be challenging. If you are scrolling through this, that means you are contemplating doing just that, which is a difficult and positive first step. I understand and value the importance of finding the “right fit” for your therapy. My approach to therapy is warm, empathic, and strength-based. I am also an EMDR trained therapist. I work with children, adolescents and adults to create a safe and supportive environment where we can explore issues such as life transitions, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, and how to cope with challenges.

I recognize that your journey is unique and I can help you address the issues you experience along the way to create a happier, meaningful and fulfilling life. People seek therapy for a number of reasons. Perhaps you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, PTSD, overwhelming emotions, a difficult life transition or achieving your goals. Therapy offers the opportunity to learn about oneself, access your inner wisdom and lead a fulfilling life. Therapy can help you look at situations in a new way, manage anxiety, PTSD, stress and uncomfortable emotions and approach life with confidence.

Welcome. Let's have a conversation about what is working and not working, in your life. Are you seeking support during a period of transition, or are you interested in a deeper therapy including dream work? I'm a licensed psychoanalyst in private practice in Northern Westchester where I treat adults and couples. I work in supportive psychotherapy as well as psychoanalysis. Let's have that conversation.

My practice consists of children ages 3-18 who display emotional and/or behavioral symptoms. The majority of my patient population include children suffering from Anxiety (which can involve Separation Anxiety, Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), Depression and other mood-related issues, low self-esteem, Attachment Disorders, Pervasive Developmental Disorders, Attention-Deficit-Hyperactivity-Disorder and behavioral disturbances. Many of the children I work with come in to address socialization issues, either through 1:1 therapy or through my Social Skills Group for Kids. I specialize in diagnostic evaluations and treatment for pediatric populations.

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, unhappy, anxious, depressed or having difficulties in relationships or parenting? I can help you uncover the source of your emotional concerns and work with you through life's challenges and transitions. Do you want to feel more empowered, confident, joyful and relaxed and stop repeating unsuccessful patterns? Whether you are experiencing pain from past trauma or addressing new difficulties, I can explore these issues with you and give you the tools to work through these emotional concerns to live a happier, more fulfilled life.

I am clinical psychologist specializing in work with tweens, teens, young adults, adults, and their parents.

There is, in all of us, incredible potential that is as of yet untapped. The problem is, of course, that most of us hold back for a plethora of reasons. We may have come to believe that there is safety in the shadows or we think that our contribution is not worthy or perhaps there is a deep sadness or brokeness that we dare not even name and so we live behind it. There is, however, a way forward for all of us. Amazingly, the trouble and challenges we face are guides to becoming whole. We just need to begin.
