Therapists in Lake Grove, NY

In a non judge-mental and safe atmosphere, I have been proudly serving my community for over seventeen years. Confidentiality and trust is key within my private practice. I work with individuals, couples and families to achieve greater satisfaction within their lives. Understanding, acquiring and maintaining change is a major focus. Anxiety, stress, and depression are only a few issues that disturb our mental well being. While trying to be in a productive relationship, one may lose harmony. This can affect all involved, including the family unit. Appropriate communication and coping skills is another important part of my work.

Letting yourself be vulnerable with a stranger can be scary and I commend you for taking the first step. Using a client-centered approach, my goal is to help you explore, set and reach achievable goals by focusing on strengths and increasing your self awareness of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I aim to provide each of my client's with an environment thats safe and supportive while encouraging growth, and self-efficacy.

We are born with the ability to persevere through resiliency when we recognize our strengths as individuals. People seeking therapy often times express feeling "stuck" due to an array of complex emotions and experiences both past and present. We now know through the science behind neuroplasticity that our brains are ever evolving and capable of creating the type of changes to enhance our quality of life and living. Through therapy we look to capture these emotions, thoughts and behaviors to overcome the sense of stagnation, and to begin a new chapter.

It certainty can be hard to reach out. I am glad you are looking for someone to help you, its courageous! You aren't alone. Some of the most common human experiences we can find ourselves in are relationship issues, depression, anxiety, grief/loss & trauma. These life experiences, even the most devastating ones can be highly valuable, life changing in the most exceptional & potentially growth enhancing ways. To rediscover yourself, to build, grow & expand upon. All that you are is so very valuable. I believe in a Whole Person, Multifaceted approach to wellness, mind body spirit work & utilizing the many tools to assist ourselves.

Life can be difficult. There’s no denying this. And, at times, life can seem even more difficult. Have you been feeling sad, stressed, worried, confused, frustrated, angry, or at a bit of a loss? Perhaps you’ve experienced, or are facing, a transition in life (e.g., a break-up, divorce, loss of a loved one, medical challenge, retirement, engagement, marriage, etc.) that is leaving you feeling any number of ways. Or maybe you're feeling a certain way and don't know why. If so, you're likely looking to find some peace, clarity, understanding, and support so you can live a happier, healthier, and more authentic life.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Life in an ever-evolving and increasingly digital age brings unique stressors and issues that can be difficult to deal with on your own. I treat clients who seek support through life transitions, relationships, experience anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. Sometimes having a person to talk to outside of your situation can help you begin to feel better. Life can feel difficult, but you do not have to go through it alone.

I believe that therapy shouldn’t be another stressor, or another “to-do” on someone’s already extensive list. My aim is to make the experience of therapy as comfortable as possible through sliding scale options, extended evening hours, and a flexible approach to modalities.

Imagine being able to come up with more than one reason to be grateful? Or grateful for much of anything at all, truly, rather than a laundry list of gratitudes that you think you "should" be grateful for. All those "shoulds". Reminding yourself everyday that what you're doing is not what you "should" be doing. You "shouldn't" think like this or you "shouldn't" feel like that. You begin to disapprove of yourself even, thinking that your undeserving of your own pain. You can see how these unrealistic expectations and the harsh judments you place on yourself, could lead you directly towards a place of suffering & self sabotage.
