Has a stressful or traumatic event left you feeling depleted, depressed, anxious, or disconnected from your loved ones? By getting lodged in our bodies, stress makes it very difficult to “just get over it,” or "move on." Moving forward and healing, however, is possible. Even by considering psychotherapy, you are making a very important first step towards regaining control of your life. Your choice to value your mental health is the key to getting back your feelings of agency, self-confidence, and sense of control of our own emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

Let us embark on this journey together, where you can safely tap into your inner truth & work towards the joy, peace, & fulfillment that lies within you. We may work well together if you are willing to take responsibility of your life & get to the underlying reasons behind your life situations & suffering.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a private practice in Northport, Long Island, New York. I offer psychotherapeutic services for individuals and couples. I specialize in working with adults with depression, anxiety, trauma and relationship challenges, including narcissistic abuse.

As someone with over twenty-five years of experience with all facets of mental health, as well as substance abuse, I am both well-versed & well-rounded therapeutically. I seek to provide my clients with an open, supportive, and non-judgmental modality of therapy. I seek to encourage authenticity, individuation while providing both long & short terms goals for successful outcomes with clients. Utilizing a simple approach to therapy, which seems to be extremely effective, is to stay where my clients lead & or need me to go...until a solid foundation of trust and commitment are established.

I take a basic trauma approach. Often early in life, circumstances overwhelm us. We can feel unseen and misunderstood or as if we have to perform in order to be loved and accepted. When these situations are chronic, we naturally develop automatic responses to try and solve the problem. These responses arise again and again in adulthood without our bidding, creating varying degrees of anxiety and depression which negatively impact our relationships, careers, and ambitions. The good news is the system wants to find a way to heal itself. That’s what brought you here. It is my goal to help you realize your innate perfection.

Therapy is like getting a PhD in yourself, allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of you. “Why is it so hard for me to say no?” “How do I manage my emotions?” “Will I ever feel better?” “Does everyone overthink or is it just me?” This is the space to heal and process the things that are holding you back from living the life you want. I specialize in complex trauma, attachment and relational issues, depression, and anxiety. I have experience working with individuals and couples as well as children and families of all backgrounds.
