Therapists in Hartsdale, NY

I primarily work with individuals and couples who want to strengthen their relationship, rebuild trust in their relationship, or gain the clarity they need to make decisions about the future of their relationship. I also work with individuals who feel stuck and limited to furthering their own personal growth.

There is no single way to live a fulfilling life. All of us need a safe place to talk about what we're experiencing. Expressing your thoughts and feelings to another person is an essential part of transformation. This is especially true when done in a therapeutic environment where you can explore new ideas and make your own decisions about your life without fear of intrusion from the other. My clinical intention is to help clients see and experience themselves in a new way.

Therapy is a great first step to improving one’s quality of life. Although we understand it’s benefit it can also be intimidating. Therapy isn’t about ‘fixing’ an individual, instead the focus is on empowerment and utilizing the skills the person possesses while developing other skills which may help support and maintain change. I believe a strong therapeutic alliance can assist anyone with facilitating the change they are seeking by developing a structure of exploration that alleviates the angst that comes with creating change in one’s life.

I believe in the holistic nature of change. Thus viewed, change isn't initiated simply by thinking healthy thoughts. These healthy thoughts need to be complemented by healthy emotions in order for us to experience the motivation to change. Very often, we are disconnected from the emotions we experience in certain situations because those emotions haven’t been respected or acknowledged within our past relationships. Consequently, we become estranged from the parts of ourselves which those emotions represent. Through the therapeutic process we may reconnect with those neglected parts of ourselves so we may feel whole again.

Are you experiencing emotional and relational difficulties, betrayal trauma, religious trauma, anxiety, depression, or struggling to process traumatic experiences or challenging relationships?

If so, I would like to offer you a safe, non-judgmental, collaborative, therapeutic, and supportive space to help you overcome these issues and move towards a state of relational, emotional, mental, spiritual, and behavioral health.

Our thoughts come from our emotions which are created by our experiences and influences in our lives. These thoughts affect our beliefs, perceptions and actions. They have become ingrained in us appearing to be natural or instinctual. You have the power to change this pattern and maximize your potential and happiness in all areas of your life; interpersonal and professional. My hope is through our therapeutic relationship we discover the positive and negative patterns in your life, learning techniques and resolutions which will allow you to be the architect of your future.
