Infertility Therapists in Katonah, NY

As a licensed psychologist, I work to enhance the experience of my client at home, school, and within their community. I believe in a strength based approach that is unique to each client. While accomplishing therapeutic goals together, I utilize research-based interventions and value a strong collaborative relationship. While I treat a wide age range, young clients are referred to me most often for challenges with behavior, learning, and socialization. Additionally, I am extensively trained conducting psychoeducational testing and working with parents and schools to develop plans to help clients reach their full potential.

Are you in the midst of a life transition-divorce, illness or loss? Are you a parent who wants to protect your child from the fallout of divorce? Do you have a child with special needs that is a challenge to parent? Are you looking to break out of a longstanding pattern of behavior that doesn't serve you well? Are you in a relationship that is painful and you don't know if it can be healed? Are you struggling with issues of infertility or thinking about adoption? Facing these issues and challenges can be daunting. I work with individuals to help them connect to their own capacity for transformation and growth. With the help of therapy people can develop tools and discover resilience that they can use now and in the future to overcome challenges that stand in the way of satisfaction, happiness, and a more fulfilling life.

Life inevitably involves struggle. The goal of therapy is to understand the source of your current struggles in order to live more fully and effectively. In my experience, life difficulties are either long standing or acute. The enduring difficulties are often the result of underlying patterns that result in feeling stuck, anxious or depressed. These patterns may manifest in relationship problems, parenting difficulties or low self esteem. Acute situations, such as death or divorce, take time to process and can trigger earlier losses. In either situation, the wish to function and feel better is what motivates us to seek therapy.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years' experience working with adults of all ages. I collaborate with each client to create a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship within which the individual can explore and clarify difficulties, come to a deeper understanding, and make changes that lead to a more fulfilling life. I integrate aspects of psychodynamic, interpersonal, cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness approaches, and tailor the work to the individual needs of my clients.

Why is it that the most important relationship in our lives is often the one that gets the least attention? Self-care is so essential, and yet many of us leave it for last or skip it all together. Many of us in today’s society feel enormous pressure to do and have it all, often at the expense of our happiness and mental health. The resulting anxiety, stress, and depression can be difficult to manage on your own. In my practice, I focus on the therapeutic relationship and interpersonal connection, as I believe that trust and an open dialogue are the first steps in achieving meaningful change.

I am trained as a child psychologist and work with children, infants through adolescence. I am also a marital therapist, and bring a knowledge of nonverbal communication research, infant research, mindfulness practice, and relationship research to the work that I do with couples and families.

I focus on system dynamics in relationships, be they partner, family or business relationships, and strive to help people cope with conflict engagement. I'm also available for consultation for witness preparation.

I believe that therapy is a partnership. Together, we can explore the issues that are concerning you and the things you would like to change in your life. Through therapy we can identify and remove old beliefs, patterns and fears that get in the way of fully enjoying life. We can work in a variety of ways, from very deep work that aims to heal childhood trauma, to cognitive-behavioral techniques which address specific, practical problems. My approach is relaxed, supportive, holistic, empowering and nonjudgmental. I work with a range of issues: addictions, depression, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties and trauma.
