Psychoanalytic Therapists in Washingtonville, NY

I believe that where we came from inevitably affects who we are, but does not need to define or constrain us in perpetuity. I want to understand where you’re coming from and where you want to go. My job is to listen, to try to understand how you see the world, and help you understand what patterns may hold you back. I am warm, humorous, thoughtful and patient. Our time together is yours and nothing is out of bounds. I hope to create a safe space where we can creatively look at your life and try to understand your concerns, doubts, fears and triumphs.

I view psychotherapy as a way to reach intellectual, emotional, and spiritual balance. I combine psychoanalytic understanding with mind-body techniques. I focus on uncovering patterns and barriers that prevent you from reaching your potential and become your true self. Psychotherapy is a process that allows us to gain insight into better understanding of yourself and others, to learn new, more constructive ways of dealing with difficulties, and more enjoyable ways of relating to others and yourself. It is a way to uncover clarity of our past, present, and future, which can lead to wisdom of oneself, life, and the peace of mind.

Therapy is a powerful catalyst for personal growth and inner peace. Every individual possesses untapped potential, often obscured by past trauma and painful memories. My client-centered approach focuses on how your unique life story shapes your current challenges. A trusting therapeutic relationship is the foundation of healing and self-discovery. We'll embark on a collaborative journey to: 1. Uncover your innate strengths and resilience. 2. Process and integrate difficult experiences. 3. Develop effective coping strategies. 4. Clarify your values and life goals. 5. Cultivate self-compassion.
