Female Therapists in Northport, NY

Therapy like life is a journey. It helps us clarify the narrative of our lives. When we understand the past, we can improve the present and change the future. It helps us learn the tools to change our thoughts and behaviors, and cope with feelings. It gives us the skills to interact more successfully with others and feel more comfortable with ourselves. A therapist can guide us along this journey, pointing out landmarks that give us clues about why we repeatedly create outcomes we want to change. A therapist helps us map a new course toward the destinations we desire.

First of all, I would like to commend you on taking this step to seek help and support. You are the expert in your life and you know now is the time. I feel there are concrete skills all of us can benefit from to think and feel more positively. I also feel there is power in telling one's story and am thankful to all of my clients willing to share theirs with me. I do not adhere to a one-size fits all approach to therapy. Your treatment will be as individual as you are and we will come up with the approach and goals together.

Are you repeating negative patterns in many different areas in your life? The healing process is multi-layered. I can teach you how to bring yourself into alignment with your “ true self”. We will work on coping skills so you can find your center, and as you feel emotionally safe within yourself, we can explore the source(s) of negative thoughts and behavior patterns. Healing is intentional. Do you listen to your intuition? Do you hear it? We all have it, but too often our chronic thinking brain is so loud it drowns out the intuitive voice within. I can help teach you emotional wellness. I am also a Reiki practitioner.

I’m a reality-based therapist who specializes in CBT, using ACT & DBT techniques in practice. I specialize in helping my clients to become self-aware, regulate their emotions and learn effective strategies to accept & manage the anxiety that impacts their daily functioning. My focus as of lately has been helping couples learn communication skills, take ownership of what needs to change & improve their relationship. I empower clients to set small actionable goals that will positively change their lives & build their confidence. I am transparent & provide straightforward advice. I fundamentally understand mental health & its effects.
