Motivational Interviewing Therapists in East Elmhurst, NY

Embarking on a journey toward healing and purpose can be equally hopeful and daunting. Maybe you have experienced trauma that is currently resurfacing in disruptive ways. Or, you have challenges with engaging in fulfilling relationships. Perhaps you're starting to realize that your familiar coping strategies have stopped serving you. Whatever the hurdle is, I'm glad you're here. I work with folks who have granted themselves the permission and grace to explore issues related to their emotional distress, intersecting identities, complex trauma, maladaptive relational patterns, addictive behaviors, and self-acceptance.

It is difficult to ask for help. Therapy can be a support to help you as you try to improve how you’re feeling. Whether it be depressed, anxious, angry or something else. It can be a space that you can have to look at routines and ways of being that have gotten you stuck and a space to expand your coping skills and interpersonal skills to improve your overall stance on life.

Let's work together to overcome the stressors that have been burdening your life. Therapy by no means solves all the issues we face day to day. What I do is help you find the strength that you have always had, but has been buried by hardship. This happens to all of us at some point, and it is at that moment that we need help. Help is the service I provide, and am happy to do so. So, let's work together to find your strength, and overcome your adversity.
