Therapists in Elmhurst, NY

Do you struggle with anxiety/depressive-like symptoms? Do you have changes within your workplace or relationships? You may have goals to improve communication within the workplace and social/ family relationships, develop coping skills such as mindfulness and distress tolerance, and reframe thinking and response effectively within interpersonal settings. Achieving these goals would benefit you by improving self-esteem and attachment issues and obtaining a better quality of life.

I have worked with clients with issues such as marital problems, but they improved self-esteem, advocacy, and assertiveness in therapy, which reduced conflict with their spouse. My ideal client is someone motivated to change at the onset of therapy, who is committed to attending regular therapy sessions, identifies their goals, and focuses on a collaborative process to achieve their goals.

Everyone could benefit from speaking with a trained professional whether you need to check in with an objective sounding board, achieve personal growth or navigate challenges encountered within your life. Sometimes the thought of something can seem worse than the actual experience, or dwelling on situations intensifies feelings. I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Psychologist with expertise treating a range of mental health conditions across the lifespan while specializing in depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma and relationships using Cognitive Behavioral Therapies and the Gottman method for individual and couples therapy.

Have you lost interest in activities you used to find enjoyable, have trouble concentrating and making decisions, or find it hard to sleep at night due to racing thoughts? You may have noticed that you haven’t been feeling like yourself lately, and life has begun to feel overwhelming.

I helped people navigate a variety of topics, including anxiety, codependency, substance abuse, relational issues, ADHD, gender/identity exploration, and religious trauma, among others. My ideal client is ready to explore, ask questions, and get to the root of things. They want to improve their relationship with themselves and others. They are an active participant in the therapeutic process and are willing to work with me to explore solutions.

I tend to use a mix of person-centered, Cognitive Behavioral and Family Systems. I help clients explore their feelings in an environment filled with empathy, respect and nonjudgment. However, I also challenge clients to recognize and identify negative thought patterns that make life more problematic. We work together to change thought patterns and create new, productive coping strategies that ignite positive life transformation.

LET'S TALK. Ever since psychotherapy (the talking cure) was conceived over 100 years ago it has grown and evolved. But one thing remains constant: talking with someone about the things that bother you, in a safe and empathic environment is curative. It is the first step to changing the way you think, feel and act. In more than 20 years of practice, I have studied and mastered various techniques of psychotherapy (cognitive behavioral, relational, psychodynamic) and will utilize these in our work together.

Navigating the new normal, going through life changes, pregnant, have a newborn, loved ones lost, jobs furloughed, balancing all your new responsibilities of providing for your family, teaching your children, feeling isolated from other people and not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel are just some of the stressors that most people are dealing with right now. You are not alone. WE CAN'T CONTROL THE WINDS BUT WE CAN ADJUST OUR SAILS. Therapy can provide you with effective/powerful skills to help you feel peace, content and balance in your life. I offer individual, marital and group (perinatal) therapy.
