Couples Therapists in East Hampton, NY

My goal is to help people feel and function better in love, work, play and inner peace. Life is often challenging and stressful. Sometimes we feel lost. Most of us engage in self-defeating beliefs, patterns and behaviors which leads to unhappiness and life dissatisfaction. The goal of therapy is to change these negative ways of feeling and being. When I have asked clients what has been most helpful in therapy, the most common response is " You helped me see things from a new perspective, which ultimately led to positive changes in how I think, feel, behave and relate to others".

My therapeutic approach focuses on my belief that when it comes to an individual’s life, they are the expert. As a therapist, it is my job to be expert on theory and techniques, to assist client's in realizing their own capabilities of deciding where they want to go, and I encourage the strengths within themselves to pursue wherever that is and to identity what that will take to get there. First, however, I must address the level of resistance a client shows.My treatment heavily looks at aspects of internalization, pulls from psychoanalytic theories of neurosis, specifically signal anxiety, and focuses on realizing personal agency.
