Teletherapy for Smithtown, NY

Do you want to know what it feels like to live a fulfilled and balanced life? Maybe you have been struggling with depression or anxiety and you haven’t been able to find your way out. I will support you on a journey of self-discovery and help you to transform your challenges into growth opportunities. It is not easy to reach out for help. I commend you on taking the first step. I am here to meet you with compassion, empathy and understanding.

You are most likely here because you, maybe your partner or your child, feel sad, overwhelmed, anxious, discouraged and/or struggle with lack of direction in life. You are taking an initiative to find help. Imagine coming to a safe place where you are able to freely explain why are you seeking treatment, what is the presenting problem and how does it impact you and your relationships? We would work together to better understand how stressful events in your life affect your mood and how a particular treatment approach might help. We would monitor together and discuss the progress of your treatment.

Asking for help can feel difficult and overwhelming, which is why it is important to me that you feel comfortable and confident in doing so. I have experience providing individual and group counseling for children, adolescents and young adults who are navigating anxiety and/or depression, self-discovery, life transitions, self-esteem and substance use. Counseling looks unique for each individual, which is why I use a person-centered approach and incorporate different interventions to help you feel empowered and in control.

I see you. I hear you. I understand the pain you're going through. You've been through emotional, physical or sexual abuse at the hands of someone who was supposed to love and protect you. It's not your fault, and I am here to help you overcome the pain and regain control of your life.  Mood swings, intense anxiety, feeling inadequate as a parent, codependency and struggling with your identity are all completely understandable responses. My goal is to help you learn to trust your judgment, embrace your flaws, and rediscover your worth.  You deserve love, happiness, and a bright future. I am here to help you achieve those goals.

Anxiety, depression, guilt, childhood trauma, unresolved experiences of loss, abandonment, or betrayal, are only a few possible explanations for what may stand in your way of achieving a sense of self-fulfillment, satisfying relationships, and a sense of security. Through psychotherapy, you can gain a better understanding of the underlying issues which compromise your ability to get what you need and optimally use your potential. These issues can be effectively worked through to ease their grip over your emotional well being and enable you to gain better control over your life by making better choices.

You feel a knot in your stomach, worried about every choice you make. When you think about your loved one who passed, you feel your heart breaking in your chest. After many years as part of a “we”, the new adjective of "single” is way more painful to hear than anticipated. Just a handful of weeks ago, you were a college student, and now you find yourself in the real world, with new, scary, adult responsibilities. You have swapped your tried and true professional skillset for your "doing your best" parental responsibilities as a new, stay at home parent. While change is challenging and painful, you want to be able to endure it.

Do you feel that you are struggling with life experiences, looking for a safe place to explore your emotions and express them? As a compassionate and dedicated mental health therapist, my focus is to help you feel heard, empowered, to safely overcome challenges and to achieve personal growth. My goal is to provide you with support through this therapeutic process and use necessary tools in this journey.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." I am a compassionate and experienced therapist attending to the needs of children, adolescents, adults, families, and victims of relationship abuse. The goal for treatment is to keep it short term, work collaboratively as we identify the issues, set goals and monitor progress to ensure good treatment outcomes.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or self-esteem issues impacting your ability to reach your goals? Have you been struggling with the impacts of past traumatic events? One of the most courageous things you can do is begin to understand and even rewrite your own story–I'm here to support you throughout the way. No matter how stuck you may feel, you do not have to go at it alone!

The decision to see a therapist is a personal one and perhaps the most important factor in that decision is the connection you make with the therapist that you choose. I create a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment for you to discuss the challenges that you currently face. We will partner together to develop tools and coping skills to make positive change and live a happier life. I specialize in treating those who have experienced trauma, PTSD, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and personality disorders. Together we will discover the underlying issues that cause these conditions while building coping skills and strategies

My Ideal client would be seeking treatment for anxiety, panic, emotion dysregulation, and would benefit from a therapist with a down to earth, empathetic approach who will also challenge individuals using DBT, CBT, MI, MBSR and strengths-based therapy approaches. Clients goals would be to manage and regulate emotions to foster healthy interpersonal relationships, communication, as well as coping skills and insight into symptoms of anxiety and depression. I have worked with all individuals from all life stages and understand that transition can be hard. I invite you to reach out to start working towards a healthier lifestyle.

Therapy may be a good fit for you if you're feeling overwhelmed, finding a lack of enjoyment in everyday life, or simply interested in better managing your mental health overall. This may include changing behavior patterns, navigating personal relationships, life changes, anxiety disorders, depression, neurodivergence, motherhood, work related problems, etc. I believe strongly in creating a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment in which you can feel safe showing your true, authentic self. If you can be honest with me, you can be honest with yourself, and begin gaining the insight necessary to incite change.

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, work- related difficulties, relationship or family problems, or dealing with loss, I can help you. My office is a safe, comfortable place to talk and learn about yourself.

In life, we all have times where we may think in a moment of struggle, "I don't know what to do." Working through these experiences can be confusing, stressful and even sometimes debilitating. My goal is to help you figure out how these life stressors can become more manageable. My specialties include anxiety, depression, parenting, life transitions, mindfulness techniques, anger management, Autisum, ADHD, mood disorders, adults with traumatic brain injuries, and behavior modification. Through my experiences as a social work professional for over a decade, I have worked with mostly teens and adults, in many areas of practice.

My ideal client is one who is motivated to change. I deal with school related issues, family issues, individual issues and marital issues. My goal is to get clients to understand the consequences of their behavior and to learn how to communicate their thoughts and feelings appropriately. I try to get them to develop insight into their behaviors along with being able to develop skills to work on stressors when they are not in the therapy sessions. I deal with mood disorders including depression, anxiety disorders and anger management issues.

Welcome! My goal is to create a comfortable environment where we can develop a collaborative relationship to explore and understand your life experiences and see the world through your eyes. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, so I aim to meet you where you are. I look forward to exploring what helps you develop a fulfilling life.

I utilize a holistic trauma informed lens to work collaboratively with those seeking help to live fuller, more satisfying lives. In our work together I can help you recognize the impact of stress and trauma on the mind, body, and spirit using evidence-based approaches grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as yoga, mindfulness, and creative expression. Together we will explore emotions in a non-judgmental space, reframe unhelpful thoughts or beliefs that no longer serve your highest good, and come up with practical solutions that help you feel more grounded, calm, and in control of your own life.
