Therapists in Woodmere, NY

I specialize in preschool aged girls to young woman struggling with a range of issues. I enjoy having an eclectic approach using play therapy, individual and family therapy as I cater to a plethora of disorders and life struggles.The secret to my success is my ability to create a safe, trusting, and collaborative environment in which every individual has a voice and an opportunity to grow. I have the confidence that via empathy, active listening and instilling hope and motivation for change a relationship will develop. My belief is that compassion, psychological understanding and behavioral intervention will promote healing.

If you find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or dissatisfied with various aspects of your life, I encourage you to reach out. When our journey together begins, we’ll spend some time getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brings you in and what you hope to accomplish. Because every individual is different, my work with each client can look different. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches and tailor sessions to help each individual client identify their goals and work towards them using the strengths, skills, and tools that we uncover and develop together.

I am a licensed psychotherapist seeing clients in New York, Virginia, and Delaware. I have experience in working with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and identities. You are here because something in your life needs to change; there is a gap between where you are and where you want to be. I'm here to help you figure out what needs to change in order for you to close that gap.

Do you feel frustrated, anxious and irritable? Do you feel that no matter what you do to improve your wellbeing and/or the quality of your relationships is never enough? Do you want to just feel good already? The key to living a happy successful life is in your relationship with yourself and others. I have helped hundreds of people deal with life's challenges including conflict and relationships issues with partners, children, friends, coworkers etc., with their own internal issues such as anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, commitment and attachment problems and with life transitions such as parenthood, divorce, and death.

I firmly believe that emotional wellness is critical to the quality of life. My work focuses on treating symptoms related to depression, anxiety, life transitions, decision-making, family and social relationships, loss, and chronic pain. Building a warm therapeutic alliance between a client and therapist is the deciding factor for how successful therapy will be. The therapeutic relationship is not only central to the outcome; it is the only significant factor and one that cannot be impacted by formal training. If I, as your therapist, can tolerate your intense unmanageable feelings, you will eventually learn to do the same.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (NYS). I am available for individual, group, family and couples therapy.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with substantial experience working with individuals and families who are impacted by trauma, stress, and anxiety. I specialize in emotion regulation, managing anxiety, stressors in the home, behavior modification, and strengthening self esteem.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, or maybe it just feels like you're juggling too much, then something needs to change. You were excited to start your journey into parenthood but this isn't how you expected things to turn out. You’re second guessing decisions to be sure you don’t mess up. You knew “adulting” wouldn’t be easy, you just didn’t realize it was going to be like this.

You are at the point where you know something has to change, but the question still remains, Who is going to help me? You want a therapist who is trained in how to help, who won’t get overwhelmed by the emotions or the experiences and who gives you confidence and a knowing that life can be better. As a therapist I approach healing by combining both science and art. My toolkit is full of science based methods, EMDR, as well as creative and cognitive approaches to help you heal and build hope. Working with you, I’ll challenge you to be open to explore the silly, the weird, the embarrassing and challenging experiences life brings.
