Parent-Child Interaction (PCIT) Therapists in Huntington Station, NY

If your young child is struggling with anxiety, behavioral problems, social relationships, or other challenges, I can help. And if you worry about how to set clear limits and communicate lovingly and effectively with your child, I can support you, too. My warm and friendly approach to play therapy and parent coaching will provide the opportunities your family needs to build confidence, new skills, and stronger relationships.

I aim to support and guide clients through their struggles, transitions, and successes with empathy and courage. I am dedicated to helping families and each member within the family unit grow and communicate more effectively. My career has allowed me to assist families with behavior concerns at home, improve parent-child communication, and support children and young adults through the challenges of growing up. I also bring extensive experience in helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, stress, and a general sense of being stuck.

Do you ever feel weighted down by feelings of anxiety, depression, grief, or interpersonal struggles? Life can be tough at times and finding a trusted person to support you is important. I strive to build a therapeutic relationship through trust, caring and respect. I utilize a holistic approach to meet you where you are at. I am trained in various modalities including: cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing and trauma focused approaches. I offer individual, group, couples, and family counseling in person therapy or via telehealth (HIPAA compliant video counseling).

Are you sick and tired of fighting with your spouse or your child? Do you hate the chaos your home seems to always be in? Living with conflict or communication difficulties with family members is exhausting. I can help. You don't have to feel hopeless anymore. As both a behavior specialist and relationship expert, I can help you (or your loved one) to find a better way. I provide evidence-based support to families impacted by a child's conduct problems. I also specialize in helping couples in all stages find their way back to peace and connection.

As someone famous once sang, life is "a long and winding road". I have asked many adults "has your life followed the path you expected?" All have answered with a resounding "NO!" As children we are taught to be fair. Therefore, we often grow up expecting life to be fair and become angry, anxious, and depressed when faced with an unfair situation. One of my goals in treatment is to help clients to acknowledge the pain in a given situation, work through it, and move on. There is much more to life than just today. Each day can and should be met with enthusiasm, curiosity, and wonder. If this concept appeals to you, give me a call :)

Have you realized yourself doing something like your mom or dad? As much as people say they would never, most of us become very much like our parents. Learning about the impact this has on your life (or your children, if any) is only a first step in solving the paradigm. Come and learn new tools to help you reach the goals you never thought you could. Because, if you are like your parents, then who are you?

I help guide clients towards identifying their goals and the steps needed to improve their mental and physical health. I have found that individuals are more likely to develop healthier routines and self-care and eliminate negative habits when they are genuinely supported and gently challenged. I focus on supporting Family Systems (Parents, Children/Adolescents, Guardians, Couples) through challenging life transitions, fears and improving communication. Individuals looking to address feelings of anxiety and depression. Those looking to “break out of their shell” of shyness and discover their strengths.

While everyone’s journey through life is unique, we ultimately all want the same thing…We ALL want to be happy. Unfortunately, happiness doesn't always come easily. Our journey is full of challenges that we have to overcome in order to get back to being happy. We experience sadness and loss. We fall completely in love only to suffer heart break. Some of us go through traumatic events such as combat or a devastating accident. These situations and many more cause us to develop feelings of fear, sadness and frustration which we do our best to manage, but typically do so in an unhealthy and maladapted way.

I am here to support, guide, & help you navigate through life's struggles. I started my career as a Student Assistance Counselor to help children/adolescents navigate their school career, address mental health issues, & cope with daily life. I believe there is no one else that understands you better than you! Therefore, I enjoy working alongside my clients in the treatment process in an environment of non-judgmental understanding. I use a combination of therapies, including person-centered, solution focused, CBT, & trauma informed therapy. If you are struggling, I can help you navigate the murky waters & come out feeling refreshed.

I am known for Caring and Professional PERSONAL, MARRIAGE & RELATIONSHIP Counseling. Life is all about relationships. We shape them, and they shape us - they touch us to our very core! But finding a well-qualified relationship therapist when your relationship is suffering can be very difficult! Many therapists lack the specialized training, experience, or license to work with couples and families. As a result, couples often experience marriage therapy as lukewarm in supporting the goal of life-long commitment. I am licensed as a Marriage & Family Therapist, as well as Clinical Social Worker at the highest level of experience.

I am a warm, nonjudgmental psychotherapist and have been working with adults, and families for the past 12 years. Clients may begin therapy feeling anxious, hopeless, or just generally "stuck" in unhelpful patterns of behavior. Some may be struggling with relationships or doubting their own self-worth. I help clients gain clarity into their struggles and help them to unlock their "best self" potential, allowing them to feel more empowered with a renewed sense of purpose.
