Psychodynamic Therapists in Great Kills, Staten Island, NY

If you're someone who is dealing with anxiety, depression, grieving, financial strains, marital/family issues, behavioral issues with your children, identity issues, or employment issues - You and I may be a great fit to work together. I invite you to think of therapy as a process where we will identify your unique issue, and go down the road of discovery to help you understand your beliefs, values and systems around your current lifestyle. As we develop deeper understanding of your unique view of the world we can then cultivate a life you're excited about and achieve freedom from these problems/situations you feel stuck in.

As we make our way through life, we are often forced to give up parts of ourselves in order to survive and belong. Many of our defenses, developed early on, may hinder our wholeness as adults while contributing to a sense of “stuckness.” I believe that we are innately wired for healing, and that provided with a safe environment our healing capacity is activated as we listen to, feel, and process our core emotions. Emotions carry our stories, and when not processed properly can lodge themselves in our bodies and manifest in various unhealthy ways.

Sometimes you may feel stuck, have trouble understanding your emotions, or need some help sorting out your thoughts, but the good news is you do not have to do it alone. Mental health affects every part of your life, and I am here to provide a safe, empathetic, and judgement-free space to explore and express what you are experiencing. It is important to talk about your feelings and experiences, and by examining them together, we can address any concerns regarding anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or negative thoughts, to name a few. We can then work on building coping skills to help you deal with life’s stressors.

In facing the challenges of life, we often seek support from an understanding and non- judgmental person. As your therapist, It will be my mission to help you heal and cope with your challenges.
