Family Therapy in Carmel, NY

Many of us have thoughts and feelings that yank us away from peace, joy and fulfillment. Past experiences and current life situations can seem so overwhelming and unmanageable that we abandon hope for a better life. If this sounds familiar, I can help. As a therapist with over 25 years of experience, I work collaboratively with clients to help them identify and achieve their goals, learn ways to manage difficult thoughts, feelings and memories, and help build habits that will enable them to effectively get through challenging and difficult situations. I use evidence-based interventions that facilitate meaningful change.

Do you ever wonder why you’re not feeling great emotionally & can’t pinpoint the root cause exactly? I work from an emotionally driven place. What that means is together we will explore your feelings & peel away the layers until we figure out what is happening inside to trigger these negative emotions. My role in your journey through healing and finding your inner peace is to gain an understanding of where we are coming from and sort through the chaos and turmoil we feel inside. From there we can work our way up & create new beginnings with new positive emotions and gain a renewed sense of being, a renewed sense of purpose.

I get excited when I have the opportunity to help couples find connection in the midst of the conflict. I also work with individuals who want help processing relationships.
