Therapists in Patchogue, NY

Beginning your journey to improve your mental health can seem overwhelming at first, but is truly something we all deserve.

We are born with the ability to persevere through resiliency when we recognize our strengths as individuals. People seeking therapy often times express feeling "stuck" due to an array of complex emotions and experiences both past and present. We now know through the science behind neuroplasticity that our brains are ever evolving and capable of creating the type of changes to enhance our quality of life and living. Through therapy we look to capture these emotions, thoughts and behaviors to overcome the sense of stagnation, and to begin a new chapter.

Life can get a little bit hectic and sometimes we lose ourselves in the mix. Losing ourselves can look like a loss of energy, not knowing what we enjoy or not, lack of boundaries, taking care of everyone around us but ourselves and avoiding others while also avoiding alone time with ourselves. Sound familiar? If yes, then let’s find YOU! Your authentic self sets boundaries, shows confidence, knows what you want and don’t want, and has some greater fulfillment with a life purpose. The authentic you is out there, so let’s start looking.

My therapeutic style utilizes a collaborative approach. I will work in a warm, empathetic, and creative way providing motivation and encouragement.
