Teletherapy for Larchmont, NY

Life can be hard at times - for all of us. Sometimes, it is because of challenging circumstances such as the loss of a loved one, an illness/health issue, or a life transition. Other times, it's difficult to recognize the cause of the challenge. From the outside, your life may look wonderful, yet it may not feel that way on the inside. You don't need to push through on your own. I am here to help. It is crucial that you feel "gotten" by and connected to your therapist. I tailor my approach to the needs of my clients, as everyone is different and there is no "one size fits all" solution to life's challenges.

The exchange between you and therapist should be safe, honest and challenging. But it should also have humor, some guidance toward other resources but mostly it should not feel antiseptic to you---not contrived or distant and removed. This is about you--your life and the trust you put into your therapist should be received with honor and returned to you with respect and truth and consistency of presence. I am not going to spend time here telling you the approach I use, the methodology I subscribe to because every approach is unique to the person with whom I am working. You are unique and so should be your therapy.

Do you have anxiety? Are you under a lot of stress? Are you scared and depressed? Are you fearful of Coronavirus? Have you lost your motivation? If you answered yes to any of the questions, I can help you! Often, people are "stuck" in a certain mindset. By understanding where the negative thoughts are coming from, it makes it much easier to change. Have control over your thoughts rather than having your thoughts control you. Take your life back! Feel more positive and motivated! I can work out a payment plan with you. I don't want money ever to get in the way of helping my clients.You deserve to live your optimal life!!

Are you struggling with the stresses of work-life balance? Are you seeking serenity from the constant pull of technology and social media? Are you transitioning to a new phase in your life-new job, relationship, parenting, an "empty nest"-and looking for some guidance and support as you adapt and grow? Are you looking simply for more mindfulness and positivity in your daily life? My practice is based on the principles of positive psychology-the scientific study of optimal wellbeing-and I use solution-focused techniques to help you move toward your goal through practical, clearly-defined action steps.

I've worked as a marital and sex therapist for 30 years helping people improve communication and enjoy satisfying sexual relationships.

The type of clients I work with are typically individuals interested in seeking growth, are motivated, and determined to put in the time and work that therapy requires. I aim to help clients eager to improve their self-perception of themselves as well as their interpersonal relationships. Often, my clients face challenges related to anxiety, stress, depression, personality, trauma, and other pressing concerns.

When's the last time you really felt heard? That someone was truly listening to you & what you had to say, instead of just waiting for their turn to speak? In these times when social media seemingly offers instant connections to anyone, yet can still leave you feeling unheard, unseen and disconnected from everyone, having someone give you their undivided attention and consideration can be a rare find. I am that rare find.

Do you find yourself stuck in the same unhealthy cycles despite your efforts to change? I can help. As an active and empathic therapist with fifteen years of experience, I believe in getting to the root of someone's difficulties. Together we will identify your feelings and patterns of behavior, understand the life events that impact your current experience, and enhance your inner resources for achieving your goals.

A Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience working with couples, I do premarital counseling for anxiety and fear of commitment, communication when intimacy has gone.

In my view, therapy is all about developing a healthy relationship with the self, and therefore with others. It’s starts with having a healthy connection with your therapist. For over 20 years I have made it my mission to help people who struggle with the things that hold them back from living happy, valuable, and productive lives. In addition to the treatment of addiction & co-occurring mood disorders, my practice includes the particular challenges of the divorced single parent, as well as addressing individual dilemmas in the workplace. I am recognized for my understanding of treatment options & I gladly serve as a resource.

When was the last time you looked in the mirror and said, “I love myself!?” Life can move so quickly, making it difficult to exude self-love and self-compassion, but it doesn’t have to be. My yoga friend once told me that working on yourself is the most important job you will ever do, so it’s important to remain persistent. Reminding yourself that you’re worthy of love, and that your feelings are valid is an important first step in taking back control in your life. No one wants to go through life feeling unaccomplished and unworthy.
