Therapists in Great Neck, NY

I work with individuals and couples who are dealing with personal issues, marital difficulties, communication with their partner, life transitions, family conflict, career obstacles, anxiety. In a safe, confidential, supportive space I help clients to better understand themselves and their situations. I am an interactive therapist who listens well and asks questions to make you think and see your issues in a different way. We explore patterns, reactions and experiences. We understand how the past informs the present and how present challenges can be a moment for change.

I am a clinical therapist and professor who practices in New York and Massachusetts. Many times, challenges, pain, loss, and even suffering hold just as much a place in our lives as happiness, joy, peace and triumph. Utilizing best-practices and empirical knowledge, my hope is for our journey to be an intricate process of joining and receiving; discovering and growing; learning and practicing. My approach is integrative, taking into consideration all the systems within you, including race, culture and environment. I aim to hold a warm and supportive space wherein empowerment, balance and growth can be achieved.

In a safe and respectful setting, utilizing traditional and holistic therapies, you can develop skills that bring you into greater partnership with you. As you come to truly know and understand your own unique journey, you will be led to skills that benefit the whole of you. When you feel comfortable within yourself, inner calm becomes readily accessible. Relationships that are sticky become fluid and more enjoyable. Whatever your personal issues, learning to understand and trust your own unique experience becomes the heart of a life well-lived. This is true for adults who see me individually, for couples, and with older kids/teens.

As a psychotherapist and healer for many years it has been my privilege to offer and provide help and comfort to people in distress. Experience has taught me that we all struggle to recover from the pains of the past, deal with the challenges of the present and the insecurities of the future, in our efforts to live the best lives that we can. This often seems very difficult if not impossible to accomplish alone. A strong and nurturing therapeutic relationship is a powerful and stable foundation for dealing with these challenges to our well-being, especially in these very troubling and uncertain times.
