Find a Therapist in Moriches, NY

My philosophy and vision in treatment involves facilitating a combination of talk therapy and mindful body practices, enabling each person to realize his or her unique self with compassion and awareness.

A lot of people come to therapy because they feel overwhelmed, lost, burned out, or stuck in loops they can’t explain. You don’t need to have a dramatic “reason” to be here. Sometimes it’s just “I don’t feel like myself and I don’t know what to do about it.” I’m not here to take over your choices—I’m here to help you see them more clearly and, when it helps, talk through what might actually work for you. We’re here to get curious about what you’ve been carrying, what you’ve been avoiding, what you’ve learned to hide, and what you actually need. No judgment. No pressure to be polished or “okay.” We’ll talk about real stuff: the way stress shows up in your body - the thoughts you can’t shut off - the old experiences that still sting - the patterns you keep repeating even though you don’t want to We’ll also laugh sometimes because healing doesn’t have to be bleak. I use tools that help, but the main work is understanding yourself clearly enough to make different choices. If you’re tired of pretending you’re fine, or if you want a space where you can just show up as you are—even if that’s confused, tired, or unsure—I’m here.

You deserve a life of happiness and health. Together we can understand your life, then craft a plan that addresses the source of your stress. Are you overwhelmed, or unsure how to achieve your goals? Therapy is a powerful tool that can resolve the difficulties you face. It strengthens coping skills and self-esteem.

Life can often feel overwhelming, particularly when facing major transitions, daily stress, or ongoing emotional challenges. Many find themselves feeling anxious, stuck, or uncertain about the future. Therapy provides a space to delve into these feelings, helping you understand your situation, how you’ve arrived at this point, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself. I specialize in working with motivated clients navigating anxiety, relational and women’s issues, trauma, and significant life changes. My clients are looking to understand themselves better, overcome challenges, and lead more meaningful and authentic lives. If you're looking to better understand yourself and find ways to manage your challenges more effectively, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to explore your strengths and develop practical and personalized tools. Contact me today to schedule a free consultation and see if therapy could be helpful for you.

I pull from a variety of different therapeutic modalities to offer relief from usual and unusual life circumstances. My approach is highly tailored to each individual and the situation at hand. I take pride in understanding the unique perspectives of my clients with an appreciation for each person's distinct background. In practice, I've learned that a client should feel some comfort and a connection with their therapist within their first session. Some therapeutic progress, relief, andor a sense of a working relationship should be experienced by session two.

Life can be challenging, and it's okay to seek support when you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Whether you're dealing with physical symptoms or emotional struggles, there's often more beneath the surface than meets the eye. As a Biodecodage practitioner, I offer a safe space to explore the deeper roots of your experiences. For those with physical symptoms, we'll uncover how these might connect to unresolved emotional conflicts. If you're facing emotional challenges without physical manifestations, we'll work together to trace these feelings back to their origins so that they no longer trigger you. Through our journey together, we'll identify the root cause of recurring emotional patterns or conflicts. My approach is tailored to your unique needs, whether you're seeking more tools to tackle your physical symptoms or looking to resolve persistent emotional conflicts. Together, we'll work towards finding clarity, peace, and a deeper understanding of yourself. Remember, seeking help is a courageous step towards healing.

Please note that I am currently only offering therapy via a HIPAA compliant Telehealth service that offers excellent video and audio, allowing you to engage in therapy from the comfort and convenience of your own home. I view therapy as a collaborative experience aimed at helping patients become the best version of themselves. I love working with patients who are motivated to make change and excited to learn more about who they are and how they navigate the world. I have a plethora of experience working with individuals and couples who have mood disorders, anxiety related disorders, complex physical and sexual abuse traumas, and those who have difficulty adjusting to life changes. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which is an active, structured, and goal oriented form of therapy that aims to uncover and change maladaptive patterns of thoughts and behaviors. Additionally, I practice EFT for couples and EMDR, CPT, PET, and WET for those with symptoms of PTSD. I'm glad to provide you more details on all modalities. Whether you're returning or going for the first time, therapy can be scary.

You're standing at the threshold of change, where fear and uncertainty cloud your path. In this pivotal moment, my role is to illuminate the way forward, transforming apprehension into a journey of self-discovery and growth. Drawing from my own experiences of navigating life's challenges, I recognize the courage it takes to make yourself a priority. Together, we will explore not just what you desire from life, but what you fundamentally need, rediscover your innermost self, and realize your true potential.

Growing up with learning challenges, I had an experience that is all too familiar for the neurodivergent community. Often feeling misunderstood and out of place, I was faced with indifference, ignorance, neglect, gaslighting, shame, and the assumption that I could navigate a world that was not built for me without the support I so badly needed. Lonely, adrift, and struggling to find a sense of belonging, I was cast aside and left to fend for myself. After a series of negative experiences with mental health resources and support, my personal journey led me to a couples therapist in 2014. There, I embarked on a journey of transformation, and I was able to see the profound impact that the right therapy relationship could have on a person. It was then that I was introduced to Gestalt psychotherapy, which I immediately connected with. From there, I set forth on a new journey to study Gestalt psychotherapy at the Gestalt Associates for Psychotherapy, a post-graduate training program. Pursuing this path, I have continued to experience connectedness, belonging, compassion, the wonder of curiosity, and love itself. Arriving at this place of acceptance and understanding changed everything for me. Understanding that this positive experience is not the norm for members of the neurodivergent community, I decided to dedicate myself to providing that same transformation for others. With this mission, I founded Welcome Home Healing in 2023. Since then, I have had the pleasure of helping many clients embrace their own innate worth, gifts, individuality, and the freedom to shed their masks of shame and self-doubt.
