Anger Management Therapists in Nassau County, NY

Therapy should not only focus on relieving your symptoms and distress but is also about building greater capacities for dealing with life's inevitable stresses and anxieties. I believe it is important to actively collaborate with you to find out what it is you want from therapy and to periodically evaluate the progress toward these goals. I look to tailor each person's therapy to their specific presenting problems and goals so that they will be able to feel better and feel more capable in facing life's challenges.

I believe that what drives people to seek therapy is pain--but pain can take many forms: anxiety, fear, anger, depression. Our work together is to be curious in a way that feels safe and then to develop coping skills in order to enhance functioning and move forward.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed or isolated ? Feelings of sadness, exhaustion are common for those who have experienced a loss, relationship challenges or the daily life stressors such as infertility, family/parenting issues, panic, stress, anger, or if you are seeking to make a transition in your life. You don’t have to experience emotional pain alone. I will provide you with a calm, safe place for us to work together to cope with and overcome challenges and make positive change. By identifying your personal goals, strengths and implementing coping strategies, I will help you gain the control back and move forward.

Additionally, I have over 20 years of college career counseling experience. I am a certified yoga instructor and will offer clients yoga postures and guided meditation that support treatment goals. I am experienced and comfortable working with clients from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Anxiety, depression, anger, insecurities, and trauma can make even our simplest daily routine seem daunting and prevent us from living a full, happy life. Addressing the issues that contribute to these symptoms increases self-esteem, improves relationships, optimizes work/school performance, and helps with over-all quality of life—but it does not have to be done alone. Therapy can provide you with the support and tools you need to overcome challenges in these areas and live your life to your full potential.

My approach is person centered and psychodynamic. I use evidence-based therapeutic practices with a foundation in existential therapy. Together, we can uncover the "why," so you may live with any "how."

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore life’s many challenges.

Do you feel like you are struggling in your everyday life? Do you struggle managing your emotions in a healthy manner? Having difficulty managing life stressors such as work, relationships, self-image, and life in general? I understand even though you may have answered yes to any of these questions above, you may still be hesitant about making changes. Change can be scary, but it can also be beautiful and rewarding. Our goal in therapy would be to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in life.

I invite you to schedule a free phone call for 15 minutes to answer your questions and concerns, discuss your insurance, and make a recommendation based on your needs.

I help couples to became more aware of each other, and what each needs from the other. I help the couple to focus in better on what each other is feeling and saying, and to put aside one's own thoughts. This results in better understanding, greater closeness, less anger, and less selfishness. I help individuals gain confidence and pursue and attain their life's goals.

I really enjoy working with people who want to be helped with painful feelings and experiences that have interfered with their sense of well being. All of us are limited by upsettingly negative emotions that make it harder to accomplish things that would make our lives richer, more comfortable and secure. I base my work on the principles of Mindfulnes Based Cognitive Behavior Therapy. This approach has been shown to be very successful helping anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, phobias and many other individual and relationship issues. Like most experienced therapists, I also integrate ideas from other approaches whenever appropriate.
