grief counseling in Long Island

Joined Therapy

I see up to two clients at a time, so I will counsel any type of pairing: siblings, mother/daughter, father/son, etc.

If ever you feel like you’re having a hard time communicating, it’s a good idea to seek out a counselor. Life is hard, and sometimes help is needed. Taking a leap for counseling will reinforce your desire to remain committed to yourself, your family, or another person. It will show that you really want to learn how to reopen channels of communication.

I believe that each client’s needs are uniquely theirs. Because of this, treatment is individualized. I work hard to ensure the safety and comfort of all of my clients regardless of the reasons for seeking guidance.

Building Healthier Families With Therapy in Long Island

No matter what challenges life brings, a solid family system can ground you and remind you of what matters most: having one another.  Yet, families face many obstacles common to other relationships — coexisting while respecting personal routines, establishing effective communication, and supporting each other’s needs. Family dynamics inherently involve multiple people and therefore require synergy to ensure interactions flow with ease.  That’s why nurturing healthy behaviors among family members is essential to evolve and navigate life’s difficulties. Does your family have frequent arguments?  Have you recently suffered from a significant life event such as a divorce, loss of a relative, or a big move? Or do you feel like your family is simply out of sync and struggling to connect? If any of this resonates with you, we are here to support you. Family therapy can help build a healthier system for you and your loved ones.
