Therapists in Syosset, NY

“Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.” (CDL) With empathy, support, insight, and guidance, we will begin your healing journey and explore how you are much stronger than you realize. I specialize in women's issues, adolescent concerns, single-parent/divorce issues, life transitions, and anxiety disorders. Psychotherapy is often the most effective mode of treatment. By exploring your journey, we can process, accept, and shed unhealthy thoughts and patterns, repair interpersonal ruptures, and learn to embrace your newfound qualities.

My passion is working with individuals struggling with everyday issues that challenge each of us at different stages of life. I take an experiential approach with my clients, which is "learning through reflection on doing". I relate to my clients in an emotional and authentic way by providing real-life guidance and direction for individuals to assess and redirect their relationships and goals. For 20 years, I have had a private clinical practice. My post-graduate education has focused on marriage, post-traumatic stress, gender identification, abandonment, trauma, adult-children of alcoholics, women's issues, divorce adjustment, grief and phobias.

My approach to therapy draws from various modalities to ensure all my clients' specific needs are met. Through compassion and empathy I aim to meet my clients where they are at. While holding a non-judgmental space, my clients are able to safely explore and reflect on their life experiences and how to navigate them.

Does life feel overwhelming? Maybe you are struggling with recent transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief. I often work with moms who are struggling with fertility or postpartum depression, and couples who are thinking about adoption. Understandably, many people have hard time coping during these situations. Sometimes it feels like it's just too much. Fortunately, things can improve. I provide expertise and experience to support you with whatever you are going through. My goal is to help you with the difficult moments so you can get back to a life full of meaning and joy.

Your journey continues here... Sometimes it is hard to know where to start. You may feel overwhelmed or question whether your issues are worth talking about. Sometimes life takes unexpected turns. You may not know how you got here or which way to go. Together we can find a way to get you back on track or discover a new narrative. I view therapy as a collaborative and empowering process.
