My ideal client is an adolescent who is experiencing social-emotional challenges, peer pressures, parental conflict or someone needing someone to talk to which would lead to the need to service and counsel parents who are struggling with communication issues and conflicts in the home which would lead to working with the family to regain understanding, learn how to treat and speak with each other and engage me to bring a sense of normalcy into the total relationship. I also am honored to work with women struggling with the aftermath of a broken relationship, dealing with the stresses of work and family.

Sometimes we get to a place in our lives where we realize that we feel stuck. We want to take that next step in life, but feel like we just can't get there. We try different things, but nothing seems to work, at least, not the way we need it to. It also hurts to have a picture in our mind of what we want our lives to be, only to look around and see that we are far from having it. You might feel that you can relate to some of these experiences. You are not alone. Many people share these feelings. I'm interested in working with you, to help you have more of the life that you want.

What type of Great Neck mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.
