Therapists in Westchester County, NY

Youth often experience a range of struggles and have unique needs and goals. These challenges can vary widely from person to person, but some common issues among this demographic include: Stigma and Discrimination, Emotional Distress, Isolation and Loneliness, Academic Challenges, Relationships, Self-Esteem and Self-Confidence, Acceptance, Independence, Recovery, and Advocacy. The struggles, needs, and goals of youth with mental health challenges are deeply interconnected with their desire for understanding, acceptance, and the opportunity to lead fulfilling lives.

Sometimes life feels stressful and overwhelming. It may be hard to figure out where to start to feel better. I have spent over 30 years helping people address similar struggles and learning to live happier, less stressful lives. My unique style and warm, supportive manner can help you to better understand yourself and the challenges you face. In a supportive, non-judgmental setting we work together through your own person journey exploring how you have gotten here and how to work with the feelings and obstacles you currently face, developing greater flexibility and resilience along the way.

Psychotherapy can benefit people facing a range of challenges. Currently, I see adults and adolescents struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship or interpersonal difficulties, and sometimes with health/illness issues. I see many people experiencing distress and other symptoms associated with life transitions such as adolescence, marriage, new parenthood or challenges in family planning, divorce, professional or personal role redefinition, retirement, and aging. I provide counseling to individuals and couples struggling with the shifting roles and demands of these complicated times.

I provide individual therapy for adults, adolescents and children as well as couples and family therapy. My mission is to provide you, your child and/or your family with the highest quality service in order to help you achieve your goals in therapy and in life. I will work with you in a way that builds on your strengths and potential, and challenges you to take your life to the next level. I believe the most productive therapy environment is one of mutual trust, respect, and collaboration. My approach is down to earth and direct, yet compassionate and caring.

My approach is proactive and preventive because adolescence is a time for learning and personal growth. My style is relaxed, friendly, and down-to-earth.

I also have an expertise in providing supervision and training to mental health graduate students.

The adults and adolescents I treat, typically come into psychotherapy because they feel the need to develop a better understanding and/or make a change in a relationship that is faltering with a family member or partner. Many of the women I see are contending with problematic romantic relationships, some dealing with infidelity, some wondering about divorce or just trying to manage day to day in marriage. These days I see more and more people in relationships with others who have narcissistic tendencies and are struggling with how to cope and negotiate with difficult people.
