| Practice Description: |
Symptoms of anxiety and depression can be debilitating and get in the way of living a full life. Sometimes your friends and family just don't "get it" or simply lack the ability to help you get past emotional difficulties. And sometimes they don't know what you're struggling with at all, because you work so hard to act like everything is okay. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I work with adolescents and adults to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, unlearn self-criticism, develop healthy boundaries, and build meaningful lives.
When we work together, you will find my counseling office to be a safe space to talk about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. We will collaborate to pinpoint what's at the core of your difficulties and how to best resolve them. We may find that unhelpful thinking or behaviors are at play and we'll work to identify better, more effective ways to manage.
Helping individuals heal, grow, and move on with living a more satisfying life is what I find most rewarding as a therapist. To learn more about working together, call or email me to set up a free 15-minute phone consultation. If you find that I'm a good fit for your needs, we can then schedule our first appointment to meet at my Garden City office.

| Insurance and Billing Instructions: |
I am considered an out-of-network provider for most insurance plans. Many of my clients pursue reimbursement from their health insurance company under their plan's out-of-network benefits. Upon request, I provide a "superbill" receipt to be used for such claims. If you would like to learn more about your out-of-network benefits (i.e. deductible, reimbursement rate), I recommend that you call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card. |
