Couples Counseling Therapists in Suffolk County, NY

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is an integral part to the healing journey. I work hard at creating trust and safety with those that I work with by providing an honest, authentic, and nonjudgmental presence. It is my goal to accept whatever a person may bring to therapy while also seeing the possibility of change. I work with adults to help them navigate challenges along their journey to parenthood.  I help them cope with the emotional and mental load of trying to conceive; manage feelings of grief, loss, anxiety, and depression; to heal from trauma; adjust to motherhood; and so much more.

No matter the changing weather of your soul, no matter the pain, fear, and stuckness, there is, perhaps, no better thing than to be curious about yourself, and motivated to step outside your own box. You are far more than a collection of problems; you LIVE, and your life has intertwined with those of many others, helping create both. Lean in, explore...in the process, you will become more truly yourself. Become more creative, freer to love, and in touch with what matters to you. I'll help make therapy a different, positive kind of relationship, in which you can discover and apply your personal truth to a better life.

Therapy is about helping you to reduce your pain and to replace your pain with strength. Therapy gives you an opportunity to find your way to overcoming the difficulties which have brought you to therapy. Many changes can then occur in your life as you expand your ability to problem solve and move toward living your life with more fulfillment and satisfaction.

Are you tired of working so hard in life but feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and unfulfilled? On the outside, things may look like everything is going well. But inside, your emotions, personal struggles and/or relationship challenges are bringing you down. You may be feeling exhausted, stressed out and sad by painful memories, life experiences or marital problems. You want things to be different and realize it’s time to do something different. You want to heal the pain you’ve been experiencing and feel more optimistic about your future. You deserve to have more satisfaction and enjoyment in the life you worked so hard to achieve.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us....And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson. Fear of failure, fear of the past and fear of the unknown can hold us back from becoming our best selves. Change is hard and loss is even harder. Our thoughts and feelings can sometimes be so overwhelming that it seems hard to move forward in life.
