Therapists in Suffolk County, NY

Everyone's journey through therapy is an individual experience which requires the integration of mind, body and soul. I encourage this type of integrative approach because it allows me to work collaboratively with you, the client, in the assessment, treatment and goal development throughout the entire therapeutic experience. Psycho-dynamic theories, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Mind/Body modalities are used in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment.

Are you currently navigating challenges in your life, relationships, or career? Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Are you and your partner in distress or want to improve your relationship? With over two decades of dedicated experience with both individuals and couples, I offer a safe space for meaningful dialogue and exploration that can lead to long-lasting change.

As a licensed psychotherapist for more than 25 years, I have had the privilege of supporting people of all ages, as well as couples and families as they navigated through the challenges they faced.

In order to help more people, I formed a group practice of compassionate therapists, each with their own unique style and set of skills, and a passion for helping others.

My work involves helping my patients develop both insight and understanding regarding the difficulties or struggles he or she is having negotiating life transitions such as relationships, family issues, aging, and alcohol abuse.
