Therapists in Turtle Bay, New York, NY

I create a safe and nonjudgmental space where my clients feel at ease to work on their personal journey toward change. Oftentimes, it is what is not being said that becomes the focus of the session. Therefore, I help my clients develop a voice and find a way to effectively express their pain and struggles. I believe anxiety, fear, and pain are often obstacles to an individual’s growth.

My specialty is narcissism. By understanding the dynamic between you and the other person, we can navigate the relationship and help you adjust your way of talking, thinking, and acting, which almost always successfully affects the other person's treatment of you.
