My work is shaped by the knowledge that we all have the capacity to grow and learn through our life experiences. I believe that sometimes our most difficult experiences can bring us our greatest life lessons. I work collaboratively with children, adolescents, and adults to build on strengths, develop new strategies, and work to remove obstacles holding them back from reaching their fullest potential in life.

Sometimes our own minds can feel like the worst place to be. Having non stop thoughts with a constant feeling of never having a break from yourself can be absolutely exhausting. If you have ever felt this way, I can’t emphasize enough that you are NOT alone. Sometimes our minds can feel like our biggest bullies, and it’s my goal to provide you with the tools and confidence to manage and stand up to your thoughts.

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are. -Carl Yung It is hard when you're told by other people you have so much in life to happy about, but you can't really feel it for yourself. Laying in bed often wondering, "Could I do more?", "Am I enough?", and "Why does it seem like I am missing something?". Asking yourself about these kinds of things are actually brave and courageous thoughts! Many times we feel alone or are afraid to share what we think and feel because no-one wants to be judged or ridiculed. To trust someone with our inner most thoughts and feelings, must be respected and protected.

You are most likely here because you, maybe your partner or your child, feel sad, overwhelmed, anxious, discouraged and/or struggle with lack of direction in life. You are taking an initiative to find help. Imagine coming to a safe place where you are able to freely explain why are you seeking treatment, what is the presenting problem and how does it impact you and your relationships? We would work together to better understand how stressful events in your life affect your mood and how a particular treatment approach might help. We would monitor together and discuss the progress of your treatment.

Therapy is a collaborative partnership that functions optimally when there is a positive, working alliance and authentic attachment between a client and therapist. Goals must be focused and must reflect the issues that are most compelling for the client. A therapist should be nonjudgmental, empathetic and present. Respect for each client's journey supports the development of trust and connection, allowing each client to develop a new and empowering narrative that helps them to reshape their lives.

We all have negative experiences or feelings, and if we don't deal with them, we can get stuck in the past or worry about the future. Without realizing, we create patterns of behaviors as we engage with our loved ones and keep repeating the same mistakes, over and over again. Understanding these patterns and learning new ways to communicate are the first steps in making positive changes. There are times when we feel down, confused, stressed or lost. During hard times, we also tend to isolate ourselves and become lonely. However, these are the times when we need someone who will listen, understand and accept us without judgment.

Looking for the right therapist can sometimes seem to be a daunting and overwhelming task. It is often difficult to find just the right fit. I am a New York State licensed psychologist as well as a retired New York State certified school psychologist. I have been in clinical practice in the St. James/ Smithtown area since 1996. I work with both adults and children who are coping with symptoms of anxiety and depression, often in response to challenging and stressful life events such as a traumatic loss or a difficult transition. I try to make therapy a warm and supportive experience.
