Therapists in Bayside Hills, NY

I believe my 10 years of experience has given me the strength and compassion to work with adults and elderly people. I have worked with clients with chronic medical diagnosis including adults discharged from nursing homes into the community. My clients were provided with emotional support and resources to readjust in the home and community.

I use a client-driven approach when working with clients. I will ask guiding questions to assist clients to learn more about themselves, strive to have clients to self-identify root causes of certain patterns and behaviors that they are experiencing, and provide encouragement to clients to strengthen their self-esteem and confidence. I use Internal Family Systems, DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Coaching, and Family Dynamics Therapy systems.

I am a licensed psychotherapist who works with individuals, adolescents, families, and couples treating a broad range of mental health issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, identity and relationship concerns. I integrate elements of evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, as well as psychodynamic and mindfulness techniques to help you gain awareness and autonomy over your day to day functioning.

The goal in therapy is to become the best version of yourself. My clinical specialties include working with adult and older adult clients with anxiety, depression, intergenerational trauma, grief and loss, anger and stress management, relationship stress, and support for caregivers of loved ones with dementia. Our mind and body have a fascinating connection, and we would explore methods of healing from a number of techniques that pull from Western and Eastern medicine. Additionally, I am passionate about exploring and treating unique stressors associated with late-life to promote positive aging in our community.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges and need a supportive ally to help you navigate them? Are you longing for a safe and affirming space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and identity without fear of judgment? Together, we can embark on a path of self-discovery and empowerment. In my practice, I cultivate a warm and non-judgmental environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Drawing from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Humanistic approaches, I tailor my approach to focus on your strengths & meet your unique needs.

I have helped adolescents and adults navigate a range of mental, emotional, and relational challenges, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), life transitions, and issues related to sense of self - all in the context of living in a world of greater uncertainty and instability.

Do you feel consumed with thoughts about food, weight, or body image? Does your relationship with these things impact your mood, self-esteem, relationships, or ability to function? If you answered yes to any of these questions, know that healing is possible. You are not alone in navigating these experiences.

We all experience ups and downs in life. At times, it can be challenging to overcome those difficult feelings. As your therapist, I'm here to guide you through those challenges and help you navigate your emotional experiences. Whether you're grappling with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, trauma, or intergenerational conflict, I'm here to support you in achieving your goals and leading a more fulfilling life. My approach is tailored to working with adolescents and adults, where I provide individual support to help you overcome the obstacles you're facing.
