Adults Therapists in Mount Vernon, NY

Therapy is a place where we can build insight into ourselves and learn to cope with the stressors that life lays in our path. My approach is centered on partnering with clients to build on their strengths, reflect on patterns and relationship dynamics that may be harmful, heal from traumatic experiences, and strengthen their communication with loved ones.

I believe in using a tailored approach to assist my clients with developing clear, attainable treatment goals instead of adopting one methodology for all individuals and issues. I have extensive experience working with adolescence and young and older adults who present with challenges managing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, personality disorders, co-dependency, parenting, self esteem and psychological effects of disease management. We are all on a journey of change and growth and I am here to take these steps with you.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. ~Maya Angelou Too often we walk through life fearful of telling our real story. But when we tell our story we free ourselves from unhealed wounds. Telling our story helps us to find our strength and recognize our resiliency through difficult times. Emotional well-being is one of the most important parts of an individual's life. Unfortunately it is a part of life that we often forget to take care of. We all deserve to enjoy the lives we live. You are worthy of a life you can enjoy!

My specialty is trauma, with the understanding that trauma is often not just one major event, but also the cumulative effect of both severe and more subtle traumas over a lifetime, ranging from emotional deprivation, bullying, verbal abuse, to rejections and perceived failures. Since I believe that trauma contributes to most issues, I work with a broad range of patients, including those struggling with interpersonal problems, having difficulty reaching personal and professional goals, or lacking confidence and positive self-image. I also work with patients experiencing mental illness, ranging from depression to psychotic disorders.
