Therapists in West Hempstead, NY

There is something so valuable about every person having a space that is their own, and to feel safe enough to say and feel whatever comes up for them in that space. I work from these core beliefs: That curiosity leads to understanding, creativity + play can heal, and comfort is something many of us could use more of these days.

We strive to address your issues, meet your needs and work with you to meet your goals. We have over 15 years of experience treating ADHD/ADD, Grief, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Psychosis, Dementia, and other related conditions.. Visits are conducted in person or by video. We have interpreters for most languages and ASL available. We want you to feel that you are being heard, that your concerns are being addressed, and that you are treated appropriately.

I don't believe in diagnostic labeling; yet we don't waste time reinventing the wheel. The personal issues you want to confront and resolve in therapy and the unique ways in which you are stuck call upon my creativity, long, varied professional experience of theories and methods--from Freud to object relations to body work--and life experience of other cultures and modalities to find new ways for you to healthily move forward.

I have been a psychotherapist for more than 20 years, counseling individuals and couples with a variety of psychiatric conditions and life transitions. I see the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process and create an environment where you can begin to critically think about your life choices while exploring relationship patterns. I will help you achieve both clarity and resolution with respect to life transitions and relationships by asking precise questions. Together we will focus on issues regarding empowerment, liberation and healing. You will reflect, act, and reflect again on your emotional and social life.

I am a licensed psychoanalyst working with individuals to foster a deeper sense of understanding and acceptance. My focus will be on helping you to become more aware of the source of your emotions, and to develop broader perspectives on feelings, thoughts, people, and life in general. Through the work done together you should be able to free yourself from inhibitions, find solutions to your problems, become more self-aware, and suffer less. You can expect an environment where all thoughts and feelings are not only acceptable, but encouraged expression, and where you will be listened to attentively, with no judgment.

The work of therapy entails a deep, genuine engagement with ourselves - at times the unknown or unpleasant parts of ourselves. As with all challenging tasks, therapy is most rewarding when approached with honesty and openness. I have been practicing psychotherapy with individuals and couples for 15+ years and I am committed to offering my clients expert and compassionate help on this courageous journey. I will work with you to tailor a treatment that is both comprehensive and responsive to your needs, whether they involve difficulties with a loved one or problematic patterns that you find yourself recreating in your life.

Psychotherapy is a very personal and unique endeavor. Your life experiences, strengths, and current needs along with the therapist’s personality, training, and background will determine the characteristics of your treatment. My personal and professional development have made me sensitive to and interested in personality characteristics and sociocultural factors that shape personal experiences. Therefore, I strive to understand the unique familial and cultural context in which your specific difficulties have developed. Together we can explore how and why they came to be and discover more effective ways to cope in your current life.
