Therapists in Nassau County, NY

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams and live the life you've imagined. Are you at a crossroads in your life? Are you feeling stuck and wish you could change your perspective? Are you overwhelmed by emotions that make it challenging to navigate through life? You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, past or current traumatic events, or everyday life stressors. If so, you probably are seeking peace of mind, gratitude, hope, inner strength, and healthy coping skills. If this sounds like you, I welcome the opportunity to assist you on your path towards healing.

Sometimes you wonder: Wasn't I supposed to be happy by now? When did life get so tough? PTSD and trauma make it hard to cope, while depression and anxiety rob you of the joy you deserve in life. There may be loss, and the heavy weight of grief. Or betrayal by a trusted one, such as a parent, friend, or partner. The hurt and shame that often plague survivors can shatter relationships, jobs, and happiness. Lack of understanding by those closest to you leaves you feeling alone and isolated.

At some point in life, everyone finds themselves “stuck.” You may be stuck due to a traumatic event, a painful life transition, loss of relationship, family difficulties or concerning thoughts and feelings. Feeling stuck after these occurrences can cause a number of reactions including depression, anxiety, grief, substance abuse, intrusive thoughts and memories, isolation, and physical symptoms. My goal is to meet you at your “stuck point” and help you through the process of healing. I do this by providing a safe, nonjudgmental partnership that enables you to create goals and make strides towards them.
