Therapists in Plainview, NY

I am a firm believer that everyone can benefit from therapy. My primary goal is to make each of my client’s therapeutic experiences as comfortable and safe as possible. I have worked with clients of all ages, including children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and seniors. Using a client-centered approach, I work with my clients to develop positive coping skills in order to tackle life’s stressors. I have experience working with clients with a variety of diagnoses, including but not limited to substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders.

Cada um dos relacionamentos psicoterapeuticos reflete com nitidez a complexidade da vida e da personalidade do indivíduo em tratamento, um processo unico que nao permite generalizacões. Além do diagnostico e da avaliação clínica contínua baseada em modelos psicológicos tradicionais, é essencial ao meu método profissional uma ênfase na sintonia cultural. Em particular, os meus 45 anos de contato com o Brasil e sua sociedade permite que eu integre o componente cultural ao processo terapeutico, os quais estão intimamente ligados. Radicado na área de Nova Iorque, morei por vários anos no Brasil e tenho fluência no idioma.

Meu abordagem é caracterizada como colaborativa, compassiva, e ativa, na qual os indivíduos podem encontrar autenticidade em si mesmos e fazer mudanças significativas em sua vida, reconhecendo padrões e encontrando uma voz para si mesmos.

For as long as you can remember, there’s been a shadow hanging over you. You can’t see or name it, but it’s always there. Even in your happiest moments, you can feel a constant threat lurking behind you. Lately, you’ve begun to wonder if it has to do with pain from your childhood. Long-forgotten memories have started flooding back without warning. All at once, your heart pounds, and muscles tense. And in a flash, you’re right back to feeling like that scared child you once were. You want to talk about it, but you’re afraid of opening the emotional floodgates you’ve been desperately holding shut for decades. It feels impossible.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, challenging relationships, or a loss of a sense of self that affects your day-to-day life, relationships, ability to function, or your career? Do you feel lost or overwhelmed by just getting through the day? Do you question if your relationships and career could be better? Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about finding their place in life and the world. Not addressing your emotional health can lead to the life you want getting away from you. I believe feeling satisfied with yourself and your life is not only possible but it’s within your reach!

As a Clinical Psychologist, I provide a safe and warm environment where my clients can explore areas of their lives that cause distress.

The process of cultivating self-awareness, exploring oneself and their relationship world, unpacking deep feelings, processing trauma, coping techniques, create change. When clients are listened to with compassion and sensitivity in a safe space, enormous transformation becomes possible. I also offer many adjunct holistic techniques such as reiki and meditation, if desired. I witnessed beautiful growth over the years.

Life would be so much easier without uncomfortable feelings, painful experiences, and inner turmoil, but here we are. As humans, we are the universe getting to know itself, in all our joy and pain. In my practice, I aim to accompany you, using a trauma-informed lens and psychoanalytic approach to explore your unconscious, on your journey inward. I believe each of us has so much to learn and teach from our experiences and perspectives if we can give ourselves the space and self-compassion to process them.
