Let's Connect (516) 701-3170
Let us work together to get meaningful change in your life. The stressors of life do not discriminate and will find us all at some point. While we are more than capable of handling them, we can reach a place where it feels exhausting. It is at this place that we forget about how capable we truly are and success feels out of reach....... that is where I come in. Side by side, we will help you find the courage you have always had to overcome your challenges and help you develop into an even greater you. Building upon your strengths and recognizing your limits are steps to self discovery. Positivity is key to self improvement.
I use a variety of approaches in my counseling style (CBT, psychodynamic, etc.) focusing on strengthening mindfulness and improving self-awareness. We are all capable of more than we realize, but the burdens of life can sometimes prevent us from seeing that. This is why I seek to provide you tools and skills to improve introspection.
You may feel alone at times, especially when life becomes overwhelming. The path to overcome challenges is rarely easy, but as a team it is possible and can be less burdensome. Together we can face and address these challenges, so allow me the privilege of being a part of your journey.

I would say that the first step in therapy is accepting that you need assistance and second is your readiness to commit. When you come to me for depression, anxiety and/or trauma, I would utilize the cognitive behavioral techniques/CBT; the powerful connection between thoughts, feelings and actions. Other techniques that I find effective are; dialectic behavioral therapy/DBT and/or psychodynamic.
