Psychobiological Approach Couple Therapy in Tarrytown, NY

Many of us find ourselves stuck with a difficulty that challenge our expectations of what our life would or should be. These struggles may be invisible or may be glaring us in the face every day, and sometimes perniciously and negatively permeate into our relationships. Whether it be the birth of a medically fragile child, depression, anxiety, or other disruptions that threaten a family, it is necessary to find the framework and guidance to put up guard rails, and securely function as a family through these difficulties.

As a NY State licensed Psychologist I provide psychotherapy to adults, couples, and families. As a practitioner for over 25 years my work is psychodynamic in nature whereby I strive to understand why one has come into therapy; why they are looking for help and ways to alleviate their distress and provide relief going forward. This can be difficult so my nonjudgmental focus is on exploring, understanding, and empathizing with each unique situation and accompanying f.eelings. I work within the theoretical framework of Object Relations exploring relationships with support and empathy allowing relief and change to emerge.

I am a therapist with over 25 years of clinical experience. My approach is collaborative as therapy is a unique relationship. We begin with identifying where you are now while focusing on where you want to be. I use many different techniques in discovering the most effective path for you. For example, cognitive-behavioral therapy is very effective with issues such as anxiety and depression, while using an attachment-based lens can improve low self-esteem and relationship issues. If you are looking for an interactive therapist and are ready and willing to do the work, I will help you along your journey!

I provide a warm and supportive environment for you to feel safe, accepted, and nurtured. I view myself as an emotional guide. My intent is to follow your unique experience of thoughts, sensations, and feelings; help you deepen your understanding of yourself; and, support your inner wisdom as it leads you toward healing.

As a psychologist licensed in both NY and TX, my aim is to help people understand and overcome challenges that are restricting their well being, relationships, and effectiveness at work. For adults, I specialize in these issues: high-achievers, stress management, relationship issues, life transitions, parenting, marital or family conflicts, anxiety and depression (e.g., social anxiety, covid-19 related). It is truly rewarding to watch my clients become more self-regulated, more satisfied in their relationships, and more equipped to handle life’s stressors through learned coping skills.

I enjoy engaging individuals and couples seeking a supportive, active, direct, honest collaboration. My goal is to both address uncomfortable, painful conflict or struggles and facilitate more enlivened, loving connections to self and others. Individuals come in confronting challenges in love, work, family, health, school, trauma or loss. In couples therapy, I work with partners young and old, seeking early relationship or premarital counseling or bumping up against difficulty with intimacy and/or sex, parenting partnership, betrayal, infertility, remarriage, step-parenting, money or retirement, and/or on the brink of a break-up.
