Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Port Washington, NY

We’ve been through a lot these past few years, maybe longer. You somehow are keeping it together, but it’s been a long time since you’ve felt you are thriving. Many of us are too anxious or distracted to experience life fully. Procrastination is interfering with doing the things you know would help. Perhaps resentment or dissatisfaction has taken over your relationships- Maybe your older child or adolescent is struggling, Or perhaps you are dealing with something more intense; gender questioning or transition; a history of trauma; a significant loss. You've been thinking about finding support, now maybe you're ready.

I am a Psychotherapist who specializes in women's mental health; exploring a variety of female issues such as self worth and confidence, anxiety, feelings of depression as well as other emotional issues that prevent you from living up to your potential and finding a satisfying balance in your life. It is possible that during the darkest times in our lives the greatest amount of growth, self discovery and fulfillment can occur. I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for my clients to explore themselves and their lives.

Are you feeling disappointed in your life...frustrated with your marriage, parenting, friendships or any other important relationships? Are you overwhelmed and overstressed..consumed with worry, anxiety, sadness, depression or fear? So often peoples' lives are hampered by negative habitual thoughts and feelings that interfere with their sense of well being and lead to the feeling that something is wrong with "me", with"you", with my life. I work with people in supportive, empathic, positive and interactive therapeutic relationships... individuals , couples, families and groups...children, adolescents and adults. I treat families

My passion for psychology and human behavior started when I was in college. I thought my purpose was to be a lawyer, little did I know that one flyer trained me to become an advocate for victims of crime and sexual assault. As soon as I started working with victims of crime on an emotional level, rather than on a legal level, I thrived. My purpose is to help you explore the root cause of the problem. The needs of my clients all differ but ultimately the goal is to heal. Your trauma is the worst trauma. With my clinical expertise, compassion and empathy we can work together.

It looks like you have taken the first step towards exploring feelings of anxiety, frustration and/or sadness which may have been with you for some time. Those feelings have affected your relationships with everyone in your life. I work with people from a wide variety of backgrounds and situations and have helped them grow and develop from confused to clear; from dejected to hopeful; from feeling weak to empowered. My philosophy of practice is cognitively behaviorally based but I use Mindfulness and psychodynamic methods, as well. It is an integrated and flexible approach.

Are you fortunate in so many ways yet you feel sad and empty? Are worry, procrastination and anxiety robbing you of moments of happiness and enjoyment in your life and relationships? We will discover your strengths and use them to help you learn to think, respond emotionally and behave differently, tackling important issues including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, life stressors and trauma. I have a specialty working with emerging adults to address unique challenges they face finding independence, including family dynamics, transition to college and graduate school, and work-life balance.

Change is always possible. I work from a strengths-based perspective, and I believe that the work of psychotherapy is to help people access untapped resources toward health and vitality. Someone suffering from depression is just that-a person with depression, not a "depressed person"--depression needn't define you. When you walk into my office, we will explore the roadblocks in your life that keep you from moving forward, and make a plan for getting past them.

Since you have come to this place I will assume that you are struggling with something very difficult for you and that you are searching for effective ways to ease or finally end the pain. Sometimes your suffering can be traced to emotional, physical or spiritual injury, trauma or loss that you experienced many years ago, or it may have been very recent. At this moment only you know how you are suffering, what it is doing to you and your loved ones and the price that you are paying. Dealing with it alone can be very challenging, frustrating and frightening. This does not have to continue. Support is available.

People come to me because of some degree of dissatisfaction or unhappiness in their lives. They may have any number of concerns including: irritibility, frustration, worry, or depression, or physical symptoms such as restlessness, difficulty sleeping, pain or discomfort. They may know pretty well why they feel the way they do, or they may feel thoroughly confused. My focus is not limited only to treating symptoms, but also to making one's life and relationships really work. I am unwavering in my commitment to facilitating an authentic and lasting satisfaction in the lives of my patients and clients.

I want to commend you for taking that leap into the unknown, especially during this current COVID pandemic. You may feel that you want to talk to someone other than a family member or friend. Someone impartial and skilled that could help you sort out your feelings. When you come meet with me we will work together to achieve your goals. There will be no labels given to you in my office. Just genuine warmth and compassion. Call today and take the first step in healing.
