Therapists in Katonah, NY

Hello & welcome! Life is interesting. It can be complicated and overwhelming. But I believe that above all, it remains a beautiful gift, as each of us have a right to become our most insightful, confident, and authentic selves. Throughout life, we may have developed defenses or created thought and behavior patterns designed to help us survive, obtain love, or have certain needs met. For children, teens, and adults alike, worries and sadness can emerge, and difficulties can arise from disconnecting from one’s true self, one's family, one’s social circle, one’s gifts, and one’s purpose.

Hello and welcome! Are you grappling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, low-self esteem, body image issues, parenting, relationship and/or work issues? I have over 20 years of experience helping my clients to live happier, more effective, peaceful lives.

Are you facing challenges in life that make you feel less than your authentic self? Do you approach each day with a sense of uncertainty, dread, worry, or sadness because of a challenge you or your child is facing?

Being caring and empathic to one’s self can lead to finding your inner strength and true self. I specialize in a strength-based therapeutic approach designed to help you navigate life. You, the client, are the expert.

Life's challenges are many and COVID 19 has created a monumental shift in how we live and how we think about what it means to be human. It has put a different perspective on existing challenges while at the same time creating new ones. Facing such challenges in a supportive relationship can make a difference during these times of heightened anxiety. This type of self-examination takes courage and trust, and I feel privileged when asked to accompany someone on their journey. The success of this type of work lies in the relationship itself.

Anxiety distorts our thinking and can complicate our lives. As a trauma-informed therapist, I help my clients heal from the experiences that made them feel unsafe, insecure, and disconnected from others.

I treat each person I work with as a unique individual and do not believe in one approach to therapy. I specialize in treating PTSD. I also work with clients who struggle with addiction and anxiety.

My style is active and collaborative, warm and respectful. These factors consistently combine to help clients clarify their goals and supports them in the process of making these goals a reality.
