HealthFirst Therapists in Suffolk County, NY

No one should have to face life’s difficulties alone. My role is to guide, educate and support my clients to function more effectively in their lives. The foundation of my clinical practice is human connection and providing each client with a non-judgmental, safe and understanding place to be authentically vulnerable. I utilize an eclectic style, adjusting the therapeutic approach to best meet my client’s needs. I pull heavily from the fundamentals of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and other emotionally focused approaches.

I believe in creating genuine and authentic relationships through the counseling process. It is important to build trust, and I am patient when clients decide to take on this next step.

I see myself as the passenger where I am able to provide support and guidance, as well as new tools and techniques to assist for a smoother ride.
