Teletherapy for Holbrook, NY

Sometimes we need a helping hand. Life is challenging at times, and it becomes difficult to navigate! We all have negative thoughts and feelings we need to work through. Relationship problems, anger, family issues, and past trauma can add stress to our lives. Strategies are available to successfully cope and gain insight into how we think, address problem thoughts, and remain mindful of our strengths and our capacity for change. Helping clients address these issues ( and others) and improve well-being with a variety of evidence- based strategies, is what I do.

I believe in the inherent value of every person who chooses to seek therapy and I’m committed to sharing their journey with them. I work with individuals, couples and families with depression/mood disorders, anxiety, life transition or adjustment difficulties, communication challenges, interpersonal relationship conflicts, trauma and PTSD and stress reduction. I have extensive experience working with suicidal ideation and self-harm, trauma and mood/behavior dysregulation. In the safety of a supportive space, I will join you or your loved one on a path of learning and healing.

Welcome. You have taken the first step on your journey to gain support and guidance for whatever you may be challenged with at this point in your life. I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker, providing care for individuals (adolescents, adults, and seniors), couples, and families.

I also have extensive experience working with families whose loved ones have special needs or substance use issues.

I have been working as a Clinical Social worker for over 22 years. I have extensive experience working with adolescents, adults, family and couples coping with symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, PTSD and ADHD. I assist families and couples on building healthy communication to repair broken relationships. My goal is help you gain the tools needed to heal and foster emotional stability. Taking the first step towards change, takes a lot of courage but you will be guided with support throughout the process.

As social workers, we firmly believe in the transformative force of hope and faith to surmount personal obstacles and attain healing and well-being. Our therapeutic approach aims to cultivate and nurture hope and personal faith, empowering you to achieve your goals and unlock your full potential. Therapy, this practice, encompasses a broad spectrum of concerns, including anxiety, addictions, behavioral and school-related issues, depression, trauma, PTSD, and support for those with chronic medical conditions.

We are born with the ability to persevere through resiliency when we recognize our strengths as individuals. People seeking therapy often times express feeling "stuck" due to an array of complex emotions and experiences both past and present. We now know through the science behind neuroplasticity that our brains are ever evolving and capable of creating the type of changes to enhance our quality of life and living. Through therapy we look to capture these emotions, thoughts and behaviors to overcome the sense of stagnation, and to begin a new chapter.

I have been working with individuals who experience family conflicts, behavioral issues, parenting concerns, substance use, infertility issues, and more, for the past 10 years. I previously worked for Child Protective Services for 8 years and have knowledge of child abuse and neglect concerns, court matters, and custody issues. I worked with an intensive family program (HCBS Waiver) that focused on youths with severe emotional and behavioral issues for 5 years. I also have a Masters Degree in School Counseling, which has given me vast knowledge in CSE proceedings, educational laws, and academic requirements.

So many are dealing with the pressure to always be "doing something". We are constantly on the go but but not getting ahead. We rarely take time to care for self. I find people are feeling worn out and unsure how to change things. When frustration builds, relationships suffer as well. I'd like to show you ways to slow down your thoughts, reduce anxiety, and regain sense of self. We can take the steps for you to start feeling better by building better coping skills. Whether you are feeling stuck or just need to know that you're are being heard, I'd like to help. Please note: 16 years and older only

My counseling approach is unique to each individual, working towards building a strong foundation of trust and support, setting goals and identifying coping strategies to navigate everyday life experiences.

It is always hard to take the first step in seeking supportive treatment. I believe we all need someone to provide us support and guidance. I have been providing supportive therapy for over 15 years and my experience has provided me the opportunity to work with my patients and help them grow to their fullest potential. My approach is multifaceted. I incorporate a person centered approach to determine how we can work together and what treatment platform is best suited for you.

Hi there! First, let me say that I am so proud of you for taking this step toward self-improvement.

My foremost priority is to create a safe space for this work, built upon trust, empathy, warmth, absence of judgment, humor, and a focused interest in what makes you, YOU! My personalized approach will target your specific needs which we will uncover together as your story unfolds.
