Self-Harming Therapists in Center Moriches, NY

The decision to begin counseling is one we make when in need of support & guidance & when the struggles of life may feel overwhelming or out of control. I offer a client centered, supportive environment where you can feel safe to explore your uniqueness, thoughts, feelings, & behaviors in order raise awareness of what may be holding you back from a more meaningful, happy, successful, & fulfilling life. I strongly believe in resilience & address trauma & grief while traveling with you on your healing journey.

I believe in your ability to examine the circumstances of your life, gain awareness, and find answers within yourself. Through an exploration of self and personal ability, I hope to help you become more present, authentic, and accepting of yourself. We will also work together to help move you toward inner trustworthiness and self-actualization, experiencing change in yourself.

Many adverse experiences have shaped us from birth to the present moment and I am committed to exploring these experiences with you. Using a psychodynamic and trauma-informed approach to encourage healing, we will work on specific goals for you to become the highest version of yourself. Along with our past, our present is very much relevant to our healing process, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) we will work on taking control and modifying your negative thinking patterns. I believe we are all individually and uniquely different, so I like to take a humanistic and strength based approach to each of your own needs and goals

The first step towards change begins with seeking support outside yourself. It is a daunting and frightening choice for many. The relief from sharing whatever you are struggling with can bring tremendous and sometimes immediate relief. It is the first bridge towards change. Being at peace with yourself is an important part of healing and growth. I am a dedicated and conscientious professional and will respond promptly to anyone who seeks help.

When we're struggling, it can take us away from the “now” and keep us stuck in a cycle. We will work together to get to the root of the problem and identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that have been holding you back from the life you want. We will learn to identify and reframe thought processes to inspire change in feelings and behaviors. Pain and suffering is inevitable in life, and it does not need to hold you back. We will learn to both make room for pain, and engage in behaviors toward your values. Ultimately, you will learn how to be comfortable being uncomfortable while challenging yourself to live a fulfilling life.

I offer my clients a safe, warm environment and work to collaborate with them in therapy. I believe that change is possible and through therapy, people can be successful in shaping their lives for the better. I have 20+ years experience in the field of mental health. My approach to therapy is more eclectic but I remain committed to using cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in my practice. I will work with my clients towards creating a life that feels more positive, satisfying, and productive.

You get up early for a quick shower or a hot cup of coffee before the kids wake up and the day gets insane. Or, you peel yourself out of your bed with foggy eyes and force yourself to get ready to start the day. That knot in your stomach just won't go away and you feel like you are running in circles. Things have happened in your life that affected you in ways you can't really understand. Strained relationships with family, a divorce or difficulty adjusting to your new role as a parent. Life doesn't have to be this way!

“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.” ― Albert Ellis. Oftentimes what hinders us from moving forward toward our goals is our own thoughts; memories of failure or even a perception of potential failure can keep us frozen in a pattern of stagnation, which can increase feelings of depression, anxiety and low self-worth.
