Spirituality Therapists in Glen Cove, NY

Trauma in varying degrees is a part of everyone's lives that often goes unrecognized, or the experience gets buried deep down consciously or unconsciously, with the hope that it doesn't resurface. We often feel we have done a good job of supressing until we find unhealthy coping behavior, and responses repeating themselves, keeping one stuck until acknowledged and addressed. My goal is to help promote world peace by helping one heart at a time to develop inner peace despite what ever is going on now or in the past.

I am a holistic and compassionate therapist who wants to help you experience self-acceptance, growth, and well-being. I believe breaking free from negative patterns is possible by learning new coping skills at any point in life. Together, we will foster a relationship that supports you in recognizing and changing negative patterns to better develop your unique qualities and talents. You don't have to do this alone; let's uncover what may be holding you back. I want you to feel seen, heard, and appreciated for your authentic self, who you are inside and out, and allow this to radiate into the life you have or want to create.

My practice commitment is to identify and transform what unconsciously drives your choices and unsatisfying results, so that you find the freedom to manifest what you intend. Are there patterns in your life you wish weren't there? Are you unhappy in your relationship or unhappily single? Are you struggling with some aspect of parenting? Are you sad or anxious about anything? It would be my privilege to provide you confidential support in removing the unconscious obstructions that prevent you from living an authentic, fulfilling life. Take the first step towards making better choices for a new future. Call me.

Choosing to attend therapy is the biggest step you can take in order to make positive changes in your life. People begin therapy for a variety of reasons and I am here to work with you by providing the space for you to open yourself up and make our sessions about you and your wants and needs.

“In the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity”. You no longer have to struggle alone. I will provide you with support and guidance through your challenges. As your Therapist, my goal is to provide a safe haven where you can share your thoughts and feelings. In doing so, I will provide you with the skills to deal with life’s challenges by maximizing your potential for personal growth and fulfillment.

Do you find yourself wondering “How did I get here?” Life has a way of taking some unexpected (and unwanted) twists and turns that can leave you feeling confused and overwhelmed. You may experience this as anxiety, depression or isolation. Feeling stuck in the past or anxious about the future can impact your mood, your behavior, and your capacity for happiness. “Where do I go from here?” is a powerful question that can open doors to self-awareness and greater happiness. As a trained professional, I can help you explore that question.

I am seeing patients on Skype, FaceTime, or phone at this time. As a clinical psychologist, relational psychoanlyst, and author my focus is on relationships with your unique self, intimate others, society, and me. Our work together in the here-and-now shows how earlier relationships and culture color your world. I work with real life experiences, wishes, and dreams. My goal is to help heal from prior hurt and to empower you to make change. The hope is for greater meaning, purpose, and love. The setting is serene and private. At all times, I provide utmost attention to your needs and desires. I aim to bring out the best in you.

If you have a desire for growth and discovery and can appreciate the value of process-oriented and relational therapy, then I may be the right therapist for you. I will engage you in a way that allows for energetic shifts, so that you have the ability to solve your own problems and remove the blocks to peace and happiness.

I work with individuals, couples and families. I am interactive, give my clients feedback and help them gain better self-understanding, see their strengths and/or guide them through a difficult time. With couples I help them rebuild what they may feel has been lost to them, learn what went wrong and reconnect to create a more secure bond. I offer a quiet, reflective environment where my clients can explore areas of their life that make them feel stuck or unhappy. My approach is warm and empathic. I work with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues among others.

My psychotherapy practice is informed by formal training in contemplative and psychodynamic therapies, valuing health and wellness. My framework is a natural outcome of my own ongoing therapeutic work and developing spiritual practice, allowing me to more fluently move between the spiritual language of love and compassion and the psychological language of emotional distress and resiliency. The focus is on the here and now, understanding that your early developmental experiences affect your present feelings, mood, and behavior, often masking your natural capacity for well-being. Those experiencing life changes, challenges, transitions, such as loss and grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, divorce, work-related issues would benefit.

I am an experienced, licensed clinical psychologist. Sound mental health is more than the absence of mood swings and mental problems. It is something based in reality. It allows you to enjoy your life and meet life's challenges while maintaining a healthy balance between all aspects of your life. I will work with you to achieve your goals and alleviate suffering. The work is conducted in a comfortable, caring and private setting.

I want to empower my clients to successfully overcome their personal challenges and lead happier lives. Many of my clients struggle with depression and anxiety and are pleased to discover the very real benefits of individual therapy. Other clients face family problems, relationship issues, or struggle with substance abuse. My clients find it beneficial to meet with an objective mental health professional with compassion, experience and expertise.

Navigating pivotal life changes, grappling with family trauma, managing addictions, or processing grief are common challenges faced by the individuals I work with. They need a supportive environment to openly explore their emotions and thoughts, and they seek practical strategies to manage and overcome their challenges. Their primary goals include achieving emotional stability, enhancing personal relationships, and fostering personal and professional growth. They aspire to understand themselves better, make informed decisions aligned with their values, and develop fortitude to handle future challenges with greater independence.
