"Therapy is about people. Our "problems" relate to difficulties in living with others--and then, with ourselves. We approach these problems by connecting to another person. In therapy, you enter a relationship--a relationship that, from the first session, should feel relieving, clarifying, and helpful. The goal is for you to come to understand yourself more fully and build a pathway for a successful future."

"I have been providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and families for over 25 years. Prior to opening my private practice, I worked at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center - North Shore University Hospital in numerous capacities including Director of Family Therapy, Associate Director of Training for the Clinical Child Psychology Internship Program, and On-Site Director of the Hewlett High School Alternative Learning Program. In addition to running my practice, I currently hold the position of Adjunct Associate Professor at St. Johns University. While I specialize in family therapy, I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents who struggle with adhd, anxiety, depression, oppositional behavior, parent-child conflict, and peer problems. I place a premium on working collaboratively with teachers, school psychologists, and other school personnel to ensure that each of my clients are doing the best they could in their educational setting. "

"I believe in empowering people to help themselves through self-understanding. Only when we know what is wrong do we have the potential to change it. Understanding that change is difficult even when it is for the better, I provide a safe, supportive environment where my clients can grow, achieve positive self-acceptance, and find peace and fulfillment in their lives. I work with adult individuals and couples who are facing relationship problems, life crises and change, loss, anxiety, and depression."

"Life often presents with challenges that impact both our mental health and physical well being. Quality of life may be compromised if you are feeling overwhelmed, ineffective or sad. Anxiety, depression, relationship issues, loss, and life transitions can derail our self concept, resulting in uncertainty, anger, loneliness, and self doubt. If you are at the point where your problem solving skills no longer feel effective, and you're feeling "stuck", it's likely the right time to call a skilled, caring professional who can expand your insight to help overcome challenges that prevent you from living your fullest life. "

"Change is always possible. I work from a strengths-based perspective, and I believe that the work of psychotherapy is to help people access untapped resources toward health and vitality. Someone suffering from depression is just that-a person with depression, not a "depressed person"--depression needn't define you. When you walk into my office, we will explore the roadblocks in your life that keep you from moving forward, and make a plan for getting past them."

"I have 27 years of experience treating individuals and couples for a range of problems. I am most effective in helping those struggling with depression, anxiety, an inability to prosper, find happiness or enjoy satisfying relationships with others. I work well with men and women of all ages. I also have a talent for working with adolescents. For those who wish to be understood and understand themselves I am a good choice. It is the very act of making oneself known to others that is therapeutic. In so doing we become known to ourselves as well."

"My primary goals as a clinical psychologist are to help you:(1) live your life more fully, (2) feel more comfortable with and better about yourself, and (3) cope more productively with any stressors that you are facing. With this in mind, my therapeutic focus will be to provide you with the personal support that you need to make the changes that you want, and teach you specific techniques that you can use. We will do this in as time and cost efficient a manner as possible. Together, we will construct a new roadmap for you to use."

"If you are reading this, it is likely that you are searching for change. Something new to impact your life. You might be searching for a way to feel and live your life differently. You might be seeking more satisfying relationships. Many are looking for relief from painful feelings and experiences. Maybe you are desiring more meaningful perspectives on stressful situations and relationship conflicts. In striving to achieve any of these ends, you cannot underestimate the impact of processing your feelings and communicating your experiences through a discussion like you have never had prior to coming in."

"I believe that therapy should be a safe place where you can share your most private thoughts and difficulties without fear of judgment. My therapeutic style is empathic, creative and collaborative. I provide a flexible, individualized approach to therapy while using research supported therapy techniques and tools. Together we will identify your goals for therapy and I will help you to increase your self-awareness and develop skills to help you achieve those goals."

"Coming to therapy can be intimidating, but it is a step toward lifelong changes that can make your life happier and more fulfilling. For 20 years, I have worked as a clinical psychologist in private practice, schools, medical centers, hospitals, and mental health clinics helping people learn effective ways of dealing with their emotions, behaviors, and thoughts in a compassionate and supportive environment. I hope that changes you learn here will guide you when handling future life challenges."

"Individuals may find they are having difficulty achieving personal fulfillment or gaining clarity in their relationships. We get stuck, feel unhappy, blocked, anxious, and can't seem to figure it out. I have been working extensively with individuals and couples in various settings for over twenty five years. My experience, training, skills, mindfulness, compassion, and creativity are strengths and tools which help me help my clients to identify feelings, gain clarity, change patterns, and find solutions. Issues may be with regard to life transitions, marital problems, making connections, family dynamics, trauma, work challenges, or the search for intimacy."

"As an adult or teenager your feelings and experiences are unique. You may need to have someone who can acknowledge what is important to you and to help you find ways to improve the way you feel about yourself, your loved ones, your life and your environment! Because we live in a materialistic society, people often feel isolated or alone, unsupported, conflicted or pressured to change your values. My goal is to help you to discover your needs and to help you achieve a strong sense of self and an ability to utilize the resources and relationships available to you."

"I believe in the power of our therapeutic relationship, the ultimate yet genuine collaborative problem solving process. Together we will create positive change. I draw from my diverse psychology experiences, spanning schools, hospitals, day treatment programs, assessment centers, community mental health clinics, and private practice to tailor my interventions to meet your unique needs. My focus is providing concrete life skills while working through underlying issues and improving our everyday relationships. I view relationships as essential for helping to create change. The office has a room for testing and therapy and another for play therapy and PCIT."

"I work with children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of behavioral, mood, and anxiety issues, including depression, panic, social anxiety, ADHD, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I also work with individuals to cope more effectively with life stressors and to grieve the situations that cannot be altered. The therapy process is collaborative; I listen intently to my clients symptoms and, empathically and non-judgmentally, I help them work through their pain to achieve their goals."

"Is your child: struggling socially? Having a hard time in school? Unable to express themselves? Irrationally anxious? Experiencing a major life change? Going through a trauma? Nervous about going to camp? Painfully shy? Picked on, or the victim of bullying? The bully? Struggling with the social/emotional by-products of learning disabilities or ADHD? Screaming/biting/hitting to get their way? A bad sleeper? A poor eater? Unable to separate? Selectively mute? A sibling of a child with a disability? If you answer yes to these questions, you and your child are ready to get to work!"

"I am a licensed clinical social worker who provides evidence-based, solution-focused treatment in a warm, comfortable and supportive environment. My practice focuses on individuals, couples and family therapy. I have worked extensively with children, adolescents and adults in a variety of settings. I use research-based treatment techniques while tailoring therapy to your unique needs and circumstances. I work with a diverse range of issues including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, personality difficulties, adjustment, trauma/PTSD, coping mechanisms and relationships.In my experience my clients have appreciated a compassionate yet a direct approach from their therapist."

"I am passionate about helping others help themselves, and believe you know whats best for you. In guiding you to connect with your intuition, learning ways to make changes and achieve a strong sense of balance. Often times exploring our family relationships and social relationships helps us to better understand barriers that may go unnoticed and keep us feeling stuck. Whether your experiencing a major transition in your life, stress, anxiety, depression, loss, or interested in changing negative relationship patterns. In your time with me, I will teach you the appropriate tools and techniques you need to live your best life."

"As a psychotherapist, I provide individuals with a safe space where they will be carefully listened to and understood. Specializing in psychodynamics, I provide my patients with a warm therapeutic relationship where we will explore past relational, family, and self issues that may be related to emotional distress in several life areas (relationships, family, career, dependency, parenting, eating issues/body image, addictions, and self esteem)."
