Psychodynamic Therapists in Port Washington, NY

As a warm, interactive psychotherapist, I will help you gain insight and understanding in order to alleviate symptoms, enhance relationships, and manage stressors.

Transitions from one life stage to another can be challenging. Anxiety, depression or feeling 'stuck' can get in the way of achieving ones goals and aspirations. Overcoming the obstacles that may be interfering with those goals is a primary focus of therapy. I have worked extensively with individuals who are struggling with understanding what is getting in the way of their success, which include emotional roadblocks, inattention, focus, purpose and identity. I have had extensive experience with young and older adults struggling with separation, executive functioning disorder and post career transitions.

My approach is warm, empathic, and creative, and I utilize a collaborative therapeutic process informed by Psychodynamic , Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt, and Masterson's psychotherapy theories.

In therapy, you can work towards feeling better, improving the areas you are struggling in, and addressing the life obstacles that you may be facing. I believe each person brings their unique strengths to the process as well as issues they would like to resolve.

I have extensive experience dealing with a variety of psychological problems, including depression, anxiety, and trauma, as well as work-related, phase of life, marital, and family issues.
