Teletherapy for Massapequa, NY

Awareness is everything and so is attitude. Through awareness, we can change attitudes. I am passionate about working together with individuals and families during challenging times. My passion is empowering clients to reach their full potential, uncovering their untapped strengths and resources to increase over-all satisfaction and well-being.

I am available to help individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, and interpersonal and relationship difficulties. The first step is talking with someone compassionate who listens and tries to understand the world from your perspective. I know the importance of the relationship between therapist and client; therefore, I take a client-centered approach. Being able to tell your story and process it is the first step toward healing and initiating change. My approach is integrative, where I employ different therapeutic modalities to meet your unique needs best.

Life is unpredictable and can feel difficult to manage. It can feel like there is nobody to confide in resulting in feeling completely alone as if there is no light at the end of the tunnel. We all have a story to tell and our story is what makes us unique, but it does not define who we are. No matter what our story is there is always an opportunity to achieve the life we envision for ourselves. Therapy can help to provide the comfort, reassurance, and support to grow in the ways that we desire. Together we will work through challenges you’re facing by learning how to deal with these obstacles while exploring your true self.

Reaching out is the first step in finding your safe space to explore your life experiences while healing the most important relationship in your life, the one you have with yourself. My approach as a therapist is to help you feel safe, heard, and comfortable while working toward your therapeutic goals. I meet each individual exactly where they are and utilize various therapeutic tools to elicit more self-compassion and provide understanding, comfort, and growth to guide you through your personal healing.

My practice exclusively deals with Marriage Counseling. I have 3 areas of expertise (1) couples and infidelity, (2) couples and addiction, and (3) bringing home your first baby. As a couples counselor I focus on communication style and conflict resolution. I will teach you practical, positive actions to achieve or regain a great relationship. You will learn how to make commitments to yourself and to the relationship and in doing that you will be able to heal old wounds and create a true partnership. The ultimate goal being to heal, grow, and deepen your commitment.

Have you ever experienced an event that completely changed your view of the world? Do you feel afraid, alone and unsure of where to turn? Are you experiencing intrusive thoughts, when you least expect it or even nightmares? Trauma has lasting physical and emotional effects that can leave you tired, jumpy, anxious, feeling ashamed, exposed, insecure and wondering who you can trust. Do you find yourself wondering why you haven't found the love you want in your relationships? Do you believe no matter what you say or do for your significant other, it's never the "right thing" or "good enough"?

Your well-being is my priority, and I'm here to help you re-discover peace, strength, and joy. My specialty is helping people with relationships, family of origin, life transitions, parenting (from pregancy to empty nest), grief, and loss. My experience has taught me that none of us are immune to going through difficult times, and my goal is for you to feel valued, understood, and supported as we explore feelings and gain the type of insight that creates true happiness. With over 25 years of experience, I consider it an honor to hold a place where you can share your story and where we can work together for you to reach your goals.

You might seek therapy because you've been feeling overwhelmed, down, or just not how you're used to feeling. It's been hard to enjoy living, and you may experience the day to day as going-through-the-motions. You might have gone through a trauma, a loss, or other stress that leaves you feeling stuck in distress. You may have tried therapy before, or this could be your first time (and you might be super ambivalent about it!)

I strive to create an open and comfortable environment where individuals can feel safe to be in touch with their inner experiences. I believe we all have the ability to lead meaningful, satisfying lives, and with the right focus and support, it is always within reach. I strive to help my clients find the goodness in their own lives, though often it may be hard and confusing. It is my greatest hope and pleasure to be a supporter, to help people navigate their way through relationships and challenges, allowing them to live life in a meaningful way.
