I will teach you how to set & achieve small goals each week, that will positively change your lives. I provide straightforward advice & will help you & your partner or you alone until your partner is ready to take the first BIG step into therapy.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a private practice in Northport, Long Island, New York. I offer psychotherapeutic services for individuals, specializing in working with adults who seek support for depression, anxiety , trauma and relationship challenges, including narcissistic abuse.

I have advanced post graduate training and over thirty years of experience as a Psychiatric Social Worker, therapist and supervisor. Caring, empathetic and professional treatment is tailored to the individual's or couples' needs. I believe we all have the resources available to deal with life's challenges but that they have to be tapped at times of need. I enjoy working with individuals and couples and believe that becoming a therapist is a calling; this shows in my work. If I cannot help you I can refer you to someone who can.

I work with many clients from many different backgrounds and cultures. My priority and number one goal is to enhance their lives and over all psychological functioning and wellbeing. I am not here to fix you, as you are not broken. My main goal is to help every single client to actualize and become the best version of themselves. I approach each client as an individual, with respect, dignity, and sensitivity. I view myself as working alongside each client towards creating more fulfilling opportunities, while reducing long standing negative behaviors, feelings, and thought patterns.

Every cloud has a silver lining, and I will help you find yours. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive inpatient and outpatient experience. I enjoy working with all age groups in individual and group settings. I work together with my clients to establish collaborative and individualized treatment goals. I specialize in mood disorders, anxiety , stress management, and relationship issues. I also have experience running groups for both parents and children coping with the pressures and stresses of parental separation/divorce.

You can feel better. I have been in private practice for 25 years and practiced for many more years in a variety of other settings including a psychiatric hospital. There, I did teaching, clinical supervision of psychologists, group and individual therapy, and forensic psychology. I am trained in, and use a variety of methods and philosophies in the field as I have found that flexibility in approaching the diverse people I see is necessary. I work with anxiety , depression, relationship issues, and self esteem. I have experience with substance abuse and anger issues, and well as with life adjustment problems.

The enormous number of stressors we now face daily are unreal: work, inflation, heat, despair, isolation, disconnection. All of this is tremendously difficult to manage on one's own. Anxiety , anger, depression, resentment, boredom. Zombie states, exhaustion, sadness, rage, denial. If you are struggling with any of this - or any of the other states that often bring people to therapy, like emptiness, grief, rigidity, feeling lost or overwhelmed, relationship issues, lack of direction - it's worth investing the time and effort to get help, get grounded and figure out a better path forward.

Are you anxious more than ever, feeling “off” or “not like yourself” lately, facing relationship issues, or maybe you’re tired of holding everything in and ready to talk to someone? If you answered yes to any, you’ve come to the right place. In our sessions you will find that therapy is a meaningful conversation that takes place in a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgemental space where YOU set the pace and where we can identify conflict and options, make efforts toward self-growth, and pursue paths of change. My goal is to help you uncover your own motivation to change and empower you to be confident in the decisions you make.

Change and growth are tough. My goal as your therapist is to aide you to move from being stuck in your life to creating a life that is in alignment with your true self. I would be honored to assist you and/or your child in gaining the skills and insight necessary for your growth.

Today is a new day to start your journey to a happier life. I strive for change. Together I can help you take an active role in deepening your self awareness and self understanding.

Starting the journey of therapy can be a difficult choice, or one that you may have been considering for some time. Regardless of how you made this decision, it is one that shows great strength and courage, but also, the ability to reach out for help. I value myself as a therapist who will be next to you every step of the way to achieve your goals & aspirations. My professional work can assist in treating a variety of issues including substance use & addiction, anxiety , depression, and trauma - just to name a few.

I understand the vulnerability of bringing the intimacies of your inner and outer world to another human being. And finding the “right” therapist is often a source of additional angst. The good news is that I have trained extensively to provide the safe and healing “holding space,” for you to come as you are, without fear of judgment. I will meet you with skill, understanding, and strategies to address current, past and/or future challenges. My typical client is high-functioning, but struggling in some aspect of life with issues like anxiety , low mood, unresolved trauma, or relationships. Congratulations on taking the first step!

Therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and relational. What if you could find freedom from feelings of anxiety and depression. People are naturally motivated toward healing and recovery, and that an alliance with a supportive therapist, with whom you feel safe and comfortable, can facilitate this process. There is no template or single method that I use in my practice. Instead, we will determine the pace and style that is best for you. Throughout our work together, I will be open to and enthusiastic about the feedback you provide about the treatment. I will share my thoughts and assessments, with room for discussion.

I believe that each of us has the innate ability to make positive changes in our lives. Sometimes it takes a trained professional to help guide us on that journey. My practice offers that support to families and individuals seeking therapy for issues ranging from depression, anxiety , addiction and parenting challenges. Working together to meet your goals is my priority. Making the initial call may start you on the course to reaching those goals.

I am a Psychologist in private practice working with individuals and couples, adolescents and adults. I have worked in many different clinical settings since 1968 and, for 38 years of private practice, have worked with a range of difficulties involving anxiety , depression, addictions, abuse, obsessions, parenting, trauma and PTSD, personality disorders and psychosis. One specialty has been using psychological testing to get a more accurate and detailed diagnostic picture of the issues, as just having a diagnosis is not enough and can result in misunderstanding and poor treatment.

About 25 years ago, I started my full time private practice, and can still say that I love what I do. 30 years working with people provides me with a wealth of knowledge.
