BlueShield of Northeastern New York Therapists in Lynbrook, NY
You’ve learned how to balance a lot. Family expectations, cultural values, school or work pressure, and your own thoughts about who you are and who you’re becoming. On the outside, you manage it well. On the inside, it can feel overwhelming or hard to sort through. You might find yourself overthinking, feeling stuck between different versions of yourself, or unsure how to express what you actually need. You’re not looking for someone to tell you what’s wrong. You want a space where you can be understood and start to feel clearer, confident, and grounded.

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Maybe you’re navigating a big life transition, dealing with stress, or struggling with depression or anxiety. You might be facing grief, relationship challenges, or personal struggles that feel too heavy to manage alone. Perhaps you’re working through feelings about your body or relationship with food that have been hard to understand or address. Whatever you’re going through, you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can work on equipping you with tools and coping mechanisms to handle life’s stressors and move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

If you are successful on the outside but feeling depleted, overwhelmed, or stuck internally, you are not alone. Many high-performing professionals reach a point where drive and discipline are no longer enough to manage stress, burnout, or performance pressure. At that stage, insight alone is not always sufficient. Work that engages the brain and nervous system can create more meaningful and lasting change.
I work with high-achieving adults and professionals who want on improving emotional regulation, reducing stress-driven patterns, and supporting sustainable performance without relying on constant overdrive.

You're tired of code-switching through life like you're playing different characters in everyone else's story. At work, you're the professional version. With family, the dutiful one. In queer spaces, maybe you can breathe, but even then, you wonder which parts are really you. Couples, you're fighting about more than household chores. Parents watching your child struggle with emotions bigger than their body, you're breaking too. Whether managing ADHD's beautiful chaos, healing trauma's complex layers, or craving relationships where you can be authentically whole, you're ready to stop performing and start living.

Your child's emotions explode like glitter bombs with no cleanup crew in sight. Your teenager treats you like you're speaking ancient Greek when you ask about their day. Or maybe you're the adult still untangling childhood knots that show up in every relationship. Parents stress-eating goldfish crackers during meltdown number 47, LGBTQ+ individuals seeking affirming care, people with disabilities wanting understanding - you all belong here. Mental health isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither is therapy. You need someone who gets that healing looks different for everyone and meets you exactly where you are.

You're tired of being everyone's emotional support human while your own needs collect dust. Maybe you're the friend who gives perfect advice but can't follow it yourself, or the student whose Instagram looks flawless while anxiety rewrites your brain at 3 AM. Your parents think you're "doing fine" because you hit all the milestones, but inside you're running on empty. Whether you're 16 and overwhelmed by everyone's expectations or 26 wondering if this is really what adulting feels like, you're ready to stop performing happiness and start actually feeling it. The self-help podcasts helped, but now you need someone real.

My clients want to work with me to achieve their goals and resolve any conflict they are experiencing in their life. I enjoy working with clients experiencing depression and anxiety, OCD, addictive behaviors, eating disorders (specialize), difficult life experiences, trauma, ASD, medically compromised family issues, chronic mental health issues. I truly enjoy helping my clients with grief and loss so that they can move on from grief while holding onto their loved ones/or things. I like family involvement or family work because I look at barriers as a family of origin issue and a family goal, not just the “identified patient”.

It can be challenging to verbalize our emotions, thoughts, and feelings. Talking alone may feel overwhelming or difficult. When talking becomes difficult, creative expression may help. This process is utilized to assist you in gaining your own insight on how to regulate and understand your emotions. Through various artistic modalities, such as photography, drawing/painting, movement, journaling, and much more, I can help guide you in finding your own voice and confidence. Even those who do not consider themselves to be an artist in any capacity may benefit from this expressive process.

You’re used to being the reliable one. You show up, handle things, and keep moving, but underneath there’s a constant loop of overthinking, pressure, and second-guessing. You might be balancing different cultural expectations, feeling caught between identities, or carrying the impact of early family dynamics like distance, absence, or unspoken expectations. On the outside things look fine. On the inside it’s harder to slow down and feel settled. You’re not looking for someone to fix you. You just want space to understand yourself and feel more grounded.

Transitions are triggers, and when you are in the midst of a major life transition, it is easy to lose yourself. As a parent, you may struggle to balance your own needs with the demands of parenting. Women's issues, such as gender roles and expectations, can add an extra layer of complexity. How do you cope when others are asking for so much from you?
