Female Therapists in Richmond County, NY

When struggling with your mental health, you may feel stuck in a never ending cycle of self doubt and negativity. It has become more and more common in our post Covid world to feel just that. In fact, many of my clients have come to me in hopes of breaking that very cycle. Therapy can give you the power to start to break away from the constraints that our world and our minds can often put us in. Whether it be feeling anxious, worried, depressed, low self esteem, anxiety, ADHD symptoms, relationship troubles or the affects of past trauma, I am determined to help you feel freer and happier throughout our process of therapy together.

My ideal client is someone who is motivated to make positive changes in their life. They may be struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship difficulties. They seek a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore their thoughts and feelings, gain insight into their behavior, and develop coping strategies. My ideal client values empathy, understanding, and guidance. They want to feel heard and validated, to deepen their self-understanding, and to learn practical skills to improve their mental health and well-being. Their goals are to reduce symptoms, improve relationships, and enhance their quality of life.

My goal is to help my clients focus on the strength that they have within themselves to help get them to where they want to be. I help them navigate through the highs and lows by trying to look for the positive in each situation, while reminding them that focusing on themselves and the good things surrounding them can help bring them to a better place. I use the client's strengths to help build them up and to remind them that they can be and do anything that they want.

Sometimes, you just need a soundboard to vent to without any judgement. Others want to learn how to relax and turn off their brain.

Limited Space available, now accepting clients in NY & NJ. My goal is to make sure that my clients always feel supported and see real, tangible progress.

I actively guide them through building on their own strengths as well as learning new skills in order to work through barriers and challenges they are facing.
