In Person Therapists in Lake Ronkonkoma, NY
I've always thought that life is extraordinarily beautiful, but also exceedingly difficult and even brutal at times. As a therapist, my goal is to make the therapeutic process comfortable, meaningful, and productive. I've worked with all walks of life, but I think the kinds of people who might benefit the most from my services are those that are looking to gain insight and use that insight to create lasting change. My approach is simple, 50% bottom up - How did we get here? & 50% top down - What can we do about it? Over time, we'll work to put the pieces together, establish a plan of action, and create hope for a better tomorrow.

I believe that each person is unique and special and has a basic right to happiness, peace, and mental health. When a client enters into a therapeutic relationship, they are to be treated with warmth and respect. Psychotherapy is a safe place in which to explore feelings and experiences with a professional guide. The client determines the goal and the psychologist assists the client on their journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

Life can be difficult. There’s no denying this. And, at times, life can seem even more difficult. Have you been feeling sad, stressed, worried, confused, frustrated, angry, or at a bit of a loss? Perhaps you’ve experienced, or are facing, a transition in life (e.g., a break-up, divorce, loss of a loved one, medical challenge, retirement, engagement, marriage, etc.) that is leaving you feeling any number of ways. Or maybe you're feeling a certain way and don't know why. If so, you're likely looking to find some peace, clarity, understanding, and support so you can live a happier, healthier, and more authentic life.

Recently over the last few years I have been in private practice focusing on a wide variety of mental health challenges.

Are you finding it difficult to adjust to life’s everyday stressors, or perhaps dealing with a more intense & unexpected curve ball? Seeking support does not mean you are admitting weakness or defeat. In fact, acknowledging that there is a problem and deciding to take charge of your life, is the strongest move you can make. Allow me to to be your sounding board in a safe and confidential setting, where you can feel heard, motivated, and ready to become the best possible version of yourself. I will help you explore and combat the self-defeating thinking and challenges that pose as barriers to your happiness & overall well-being.

In my opinion, people's biggest fear is vulnerability (you know, "putting it out there"). Often, we refrain from expressing ourselves because we are never certain how we will be perceived. (Am I the only one feeling this way?!) Therapy should be a forum in which you can comfortably express ideas and concerns and be assured that you are not offending anyone, being judged, looked at oddly, recorded, or subject to the ramifications that often are the result of "confiding" in someone you know. I welcome the opportunity to help you unload the "stuff" that has been on your mind...

Life can be challenging, and you don't have to figure it out on your own. Many factors shape who we are and how we feel, some of which we’re not even aware of. Therapy provides the opportunity to gain understanding of those things in a safe and supportive environment. I consider my part in your journey of self-discovery as a privilege. I understand seeking help is truly an act of courage, which I deeply appreciate and respect.

I provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples and adolescents. Clients describe me as being compassionate and non judgmental which helps to create a safe space to explore even the most difficult topics. I use several different modalities including mindfulness, positive psychology, and transpersonal theory. I believe in a mind body and spirit connection. Therapy is about supporting you in getting beneath the layers of habit, addiction, stress and obsessive thinking and help you recognize the essential self within rather than relying only on the mind, which is often the source of negativity.

I believe that therapy is the process of self-actualization. It is the fulfillment of our overall need to achieve a healthy mind, body, and spirit. It is the place where one can move safely from a world of uncertainty and self-doubt to realizing the hopes and dreams of the individual in both intra and interpersonal relationships. I am firmly committed to the belief that each one of us deserves the life we have always imagined and it's a privilege to be a part of an individuals journey to that place.

As I think about my journey as an artist - evolving toward art therapy and the clinical world, honing in on my definitions and applications, while recognizing art’s interventions in my own life - I realize these ideals are why I started a therapeutic private practice many years ago. Any creative process can be healing and the possibilities are infinite when blending the process with deep discussion, clinical based talk therapies, spiritual connection, life coaching and vocational services. I have made it my life's mission in sharing these tools to facilitate personal growth, positive change and reach one’s ultimate potential.
