Therapy in Stony Brook, NY
In-person in Stony Brook, NY | Virtual Therapy across New York State
Helping Teen Girls, Women and Couples
You’ve always been the one who holds it together. But lately, it feels like a lot to carry.
You’ve learned how to keep going - how to show up, be strong, and handle what’s expected of you. But that doesn’t mean it hasn’t taken a toll.
When you’re used to being the one who holds everything together, it can be difficult to know where to put your own feelings, especially when they don’t match the life you’ve worked so hard to build.
Counseling offers a place where you don’t have to perform, filter yourself, or have all the answers. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s keeping you stuck, help quiet the constant inner dialogue, and work toward helping you feel more grounded, more confident, and more like yourself again.
I work with teen girls, women and couples who are experiencing:
Anxiety that never seems to fully turn off
Social Anxiety and difficulty speaking up for yourself
Perfectionism and the pressure to succeed
School, career, or life stress
The emotional challenges of motherhood
Relationship struggles, disconnection, or betrayal
Grief, loss, or unresolved past experiences
Feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or not like yourself
I offer both in-person counseling in Stony Brook and online therapy throughout New York, making it easier to fit therapy nto your life.
Specialties
If you are you concerned about changes in your teen, therapy offers support to help adolescents manage the pressures of being a teenager today.
Motherhood comes with joy, pressure, and everything in between—therapy offers support through the challenges that often go unseen by others.
Sometimes the person everyone relies on needs support too—women’s therapy provides a place to feel heard, understood, and supported.
When your mind feels like it never shuts off, anxiety therapy offers a place to slow down, make sense of what you're feeling, and find relief.
Grief counseling provides a supportive space to navigate loss, honor what matters to you, and find your footing as life begins to move forward.
Healing from trauma isn't about forgetting what happened—it's about finding a way to move forward without carrying the weight of it alone.
Even strong relationships face difficult seasons. Couples therapy helps partners reconnect, communicate more openly, and navigate challenges together.
Infidelity therapy provides a supportive space to process the pain of betrayal, understand what happened, and determine what comes next for your relationship.
Whether you're considering divorce, going through it, or adjusting afterward, counseling can help you process the transition and find your footing again.
Therapy Is Personal. It Should Feel That Way.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. Fiding someone you trust enough to share your story with shouldn’t feel impersonal.
Research consistently shows that the quality of the relationship between a client and therapist is one of the strongest predictors of successful therapy reagardless of the treatment approach. (APA “Better relationships with patients lead to better outcomes”).
That’s why I beleive therapy is aout more than techniques. It’s about creating a relationship where you feel heard, understood, and supported as we work together toward meaningful change.
