Teletherapy for 11552

Trying your best? Taking good care of your emotional well being, is almost as important as your body. Are you motivated to change and grow? You need the right person to help you reach your goals? I practice what I preach. “See me”and “hear me”. “Make it safe”. Often this is the beginning of what is missing in relationships. It's hard to ask for help. Being in a relationship is tricky. I appreciate people who are brave to say: "I need help with my life.", "I want to change my life.", & "I am unhappy.". I can help transform your hopes into action. You CAN change your life....if you have the will and desire to do so.

I have provided individual counseling for over ten years and have helped treat various issues related to anxiety and depression. Whether these issues are triggered by relationships, loss, self-doubt or other factors; there is opportunity for self-awareness and growth. Your comfort is most important in treatment. We will work together to identify what treatment strategies work for you. If this is your first time seeking therapy or you’re looking to resume prior treatment, I look forward to meeting you and being a source of support.

Are you or your child struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, self-harm, executive functioning deficits or relationship difficulties? Are you unhappy in your marriage or with your family dynamic? I assist clients in addressing challenges across the lifespan, including navigating stressful life events and moving beyond roadblocks to achieve personal growth. I provide treatment (and parent coaching using PMT and PCIT) to address problematic behaviors, troubling emotions, procrastination, maladaptive thought patterns, and relationship issues. I also specialize in school refusal. Intrigued?

My goal is to create a space of security to ensure that my clients are able to tap into their inner selves. Therapy is an opportunity to shut out all the loud noises and distractions that ask us to be someone else and prioritize other’s priorities. It gives us a chance to dig into ourselves, find out who we are while simultaneously discovering our specific automatic tendencies that hold us back. I enjoy the interactive dynamic, analyzing and delving into the areas that are going well and those that are preventing true happiness.

The intake process is quick and easy and serves as the building blocks for understanding the course of therapy. Progress is different for each client but can be measured by a decrease of symptoms. I work with all clients ranging from three years old up to 95-years-old who are struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, PTSD, trauma, personality issues, self-esteem, relationship issues, parenting, college transitions, social issues, special education, behavior modification, phobias, oppositional behavior, grief, and parent-child relationships.

It is my belief that the therapeutic process is meant to be a collaborative effort; a partnership between client and therapist. We will work together to find the best path to deal with the issues you bring into the room. It is of the utmost importance that a sense of comfort and open communication be established in the therapeutic relationship, as a foundation to accomplish the desired changes.

Choosing to see a therapist can be a groundbreaking decision. You may be struggling and feel that you have no place to turn. You do. I am here to help you. I will help you work through your issues: your anxiety, pain, depression, grief or whatever issues are preventing you from living a more satisfying life. We will work together to help you on the road to a happier and healthier life.. You have already started the process by taking that first step in seeking counseling.

In my career thus far I have worked with adults with disabilities and adolescents with emotional disturbances for 6 years. My passion is helping clients to better understand themselves and why they are the way they are. Seeing my clients adopt healthy coping and communication skills and utilizing them to start changing their lives for the better brings me immense joy. My specialties are adolescents, trauma work, and I often use cognitive and dialectical behavioral techniques in treatment.

Are struggling to communicate with your partner, experiencing issues with mood, anxiety, trust and intimacy? If you and your relationship feels broken, there's hope. I have provided treatment for clients with Anger Management, Anxiety, Depression, Grief & Losses, Relationship issues, Self-Esteem, Chronic Illness, Trauma and Abuse. I have experience in working with children, adolescents, adults, partners and families.

I provide a safe, judgement free environment for children, adolescents, adults and families to work through struggles with depression, anxiety, trauma, social issues, bullying, behavioral issues, family issues and more. Together we can work collaboratively to help you grow. I whole heartedly believe that anyone can make the change they wish to make in their life and I am invested in helping you achieve your goals.

I am licensed in New York with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss. I believe that you are the expert on your story and have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming life challenges. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I stand with you on this journey. Let's get started!

Have you been contemplating seeing a therapist but are not sure it is for you or would be helpful? There are many reasons a person may seek therapy. People usually seek therapy because they are unhappy or dissatisfied with their life and want or need change. Mental health issues, addictions to chemicals or unhealthy lifestyles, family or relationship issues or a general discontent with your life and the choices that are not working anymore are some of the reasons to seek treatment. Therapy is also a perfect addition to a wellness or self improvement and/or self exploration practice.

Sometimes we just need someone to help us through the hard times. You may be struggling with an issue that's been on your mind or impacting your life for a while. Perhaps you've experienced loss, or a key relationship has changed. Maybe you're anxious about going back to work in person, or about children returning to school. Or feeling sad but can't figure out exactly why. If you've tried endlessly to remove the obstacles that keep you stuck, attempted but failed to learn new ways of dealing with relationships, or have problems that seem too difficult to change on your own, then perhaps together we can find a better way.

My passion is to help women make positive changes in their lives, build confidence, increase well-being and self-care, and create more satisfying lives for themselves. Life can be difficult and change can throw us for a loop, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, confused and lost. This can lead to stress, anxiety and depression. We all face periods of transition and change. Whether you are experiencing divorce/separation, parenting issues, empty nest, relationship issues, work issues, postpartum, health/aging issues or another transition, don't be overwhelmed! I am here to help.

In life, we encounter many situations that seem to push us to our limits, or beyond. Some of these arise from within, others, from our surroundings. When these situations become intolerable, and nothing we’ve tried has worked, frustration, or even despair, may set in. At this point, we can give in or give up, or we can seek help and renewed hope. Whether you have been struggling mightily and at length, or mildly and briefly, I would be honored to meet you, to get to know you, to hear about what you’ve been going through, and to join with you in finding ways to make things better.

Hi! (Licensed in NY + NV) I am here to listen, help and support you in this process of growth and change. In therapy, my focus and goals are to develop a strong relationship based on openness, trust, respect, and some humor. I take a personal/no BS approach with loads of compassion to incorporate parts of different therapy styles, bringing a perspective and understanding to help you in any way I can to move towards living your most authentic and fulfilled life with compassion and patience.

Dedicated to helping you live fully in the present, open up to the future and invest in life and relationships with others.
