Teletherapy for New York

Have you felt stressed, anxious, grief stricken, panicky, or depressed? Are relationships causing you conflict and it's as if no one understands you? You have made the first step to bettering yourself and I appreciate you. I am here to provide my experience, training and empathic approach to give you the tools to overcome your challenges. We will do this together. My almost 2 decades of being a psychotherapist has taught me great patience, compassion, empathy and understanding of our unique situations. I am looking forward to helping you overcome your difficulties in life and spreading your wings of emotional and inner freedom!

I value the uniqueness of the individual and seek to explore what would work best for the client to achieve the change and understanding they are seeking. I work from a holistic, person-centered approach to help clients identify limiting mindsets and work to achieve lasting change.

Getting to the root of your pain, learning to deal with it, building upon your strengths then learning to act versus react to people and events is the goal of our approach. We have a long history of working with diverse populations, who have developed varied problems: Mental Health, Substance Abuse, Marital, Parenting, occupational, grief and more. Our approach is to work with your strengths; help you to develop new views and skills and then organize them into a plan that works in obtaining your goals. As a psychotherapy group practice, we can see just about anyone no matter what you're dealing with.

Accepting Telehealth Patients in NY! - You are surrounded by expectations, comparisons, and the idea that everyone around you is happy and fulfilled. Are they? How are we to know? The timelines, deadlines, and pressures all around you seem overwhelming. You're feeling lost in this world. You're feeling like you're not enough; you don't make enough, you don't do enough. Life decisions and transitions can be hard, and you want assurance you are making the right decisions for your future. You exceed expectations while at the same time wondering if you are good enough.

Accepting Clients (at group clinic, too)! Life can be overwhelming, exhausting & disconnecting. Do you feel out of sync, anxious or stressed out? These emotions are valid, & you are not alone. Life throws a lot at us. Worries, stress, fears, anxieties and doubts can pile up. These can be present in any of our our relationships. Do you want to work on things that you long ago put to the side? Past loss & grief, traumatic events or things you said you’d work on but haven’t gotten around to, yet? Gaining new coping skills or learning about yourself in a new way?

Whether you are seeking help for yourself, your teen, or your family, you've come to the right place. If you are ready to make some changes and figure out the core of what is causing the distress, disruption, or unease, we can work together to figure out the best ways to help you (or your teen) move forward in a healthy way. So many times, we spin in circles trying to figure out which direction to go.  People get caught in their own heads, so it's hard to make sense of all of the thoughts/feelings. You no longer need to be trapped in that cycle alone. We can work together to pick out the pieces that will help you create balance.

Hello! If you are currently experiencing struggles such as anxiety, poor time-management, trauma, OCD, phobias, relationship problems, or more, then you have come to the right place to start working on improving those issues. Are you tired of feeling as though your emotions are being dismissed or belittled? Are you often invalidated? It takes more than to simply “get over it” to deal with an issue. Stressors are real, and you have every right to be heard. If you are ready to take that step and work towards your optimal mental and emotional wellbeing, I will coach you through that journey! The time is now!

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan in a way that helps you get your life back. You will work with paint, pencil, clay, and talk therapy. My clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month.

Whether you are stuck making a significant life decision, feel overwhelmed by life, feel hopeless or detached from your own power, or simply cant seem to connect with others in a meaningful way, you likely are reading this because you want to get to a better place. I can point you to new options, give you concrete tools to use every day and make you feel heard and understood. I help people who are having relationship problems improve their communication skills, navigate conflict and disagreements, set healthy boundaries, make confident decisions, overcome guilt and shame and reach forgiveness of self and others.

I work with individuals to help them increase self-awareness and lead happier lives. My unique background makes me different than most therapists. In addition to being a licensed therapist, I have a PhD in Philosophy. As a therapist and life coach, I help individuals struggling in particular with relationships, codependency, sexual compulsivity, and substance/alcohol abuse. I also work with adult children of alcoholics, those who grew up in families where emotional chaos and parental addiction may affect their current lives. Unrecognized trauma can result from this. In addition, I work with gay individuals and couples.

All human beings want to be seen, understood, & accepted. Therapy can be a safe & intimate space for such an experience. As a therapist, I believe we all need someone to empower, validate, & actively listen to us in an empathic way, which is what I thrive to do. I specialize in working with "emerging adults" or those who are 18-25 y.o. I help in navigating life transitions and processing emotions, thoughts, and experiences that cause distress. I also specialize in processing feelings such as worry, guilt, and sadness, as well as, peace, contentment, and joy.

My practice consists of helping my clients become more effective actors in their lives. In the service of these goals, I teach them how to become better critical thinkers, (working together on creating healthy beliefs about themselves, others, and their environments), providing the mental tools required for emotional regulation and a fulfilling life. Additionally, we work together on understanding the past and present sources of troublesome behaviors and reducing them; this approach is called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. And, I specialize in a form of CBT called Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), used to treat OCD.

PERSONAL THERAPY...most any therapist will do if you only want to talk things out and have someone listen without judging. But if you are looking for more, my post-graduate training and advanced credentials in Rational-Emotive-Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) enable me to teach you how to effectively manage your stress, sleep, unhealthy emotions and self-defeating behaviors--something I've successfully done for myself and thousands of clients for more than 40 years.

Do you feel there’s something more for you in the world, but don’t know what it is or how to get to it? Do emotional difficulties like anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms make this seem impossible? My mission as a therapist is to build an authentic, trusting relationship where you’ll feel safe to explore who you are and what you want. Feeling secure, heard, and accepted is the starting point for working through any struggles holding you back. I work most often with college students, young professionals, and teens/pre-teens, on issues like anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and depression. I also find it rewarding to work with couples.
