Therapy for Personal Growth in NY:
Compassionate Therapy to Reconnect, Recharge, and Find Balance

Feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or disconnected? You’re not alone.

Maybe things look “fine” on the outside. You're going to work, showing up for your responsibilities, even managing to stay on top of things. But inside, something feels off. You might be feeling exhausted, burned out, disconnected, unmotivated, or not quite like yourself.  Maybe you're stuck in patterns that don’t feel good, or you're realizing you’ve been putting your own needs last for far too long.

​

Mental wellness therapy is a space to check in with yourself, work through what’s getting in the way, and start building a life that feels more aligned, on your terms.

What Is Therapy for Personal Growth?

Therapy doesn’t have to be about “fixing” something. It’s about how you feel day to day, how you care for yourself, connect with others, move through stress, and show up in your life.

​​

Mental Wellness Therapy is a space to reflect, recalibrate, and grow.  This isn’t about achieving some perfect version of wellness, it’s about exploring what wellness means to you and building tools to support it in a sustainable, authentic way.

​

In my practice, I use the 8 Dimensions of Wellness as a flexible framework to explore your whole self, not just symptoms or diagnoses. These dimensions help us identify what’s feeling out of sync and where you’d like to grow. Depending on your needs, we might explore:

​

  • Emotional Wellness – Managing stress or burnout, reconnecting with your emotions, building resilience

​

  • Physical Wellness – Improving sleep or energy, rebuilding your relationship with rest or movement

​

  • Social Wellness – Navigating relationships, boundaries, or loneliness

​

  • Vocational Wellness – Finding purpose in work, navigating job transitions, preventing burnout

​

  • Intellectual Wellness – Reigniting creativity, making space for curiosity and learning

​

  • Spiritual Wellness – Exploring meaning, grounding practices, or values-based living

​

  • Environmental Wellness – Creating a physical space that supports your well-being

​

  • Financial Wellness – Reducing stress around money, planning with less shame or pressure

​

This isn’t about doing it all perfectly—it’s about discovering what balance means for you.

How Therapy Can Support Personal Growth

Every person’s goals are different, but some of the outcomes we might work toward include:

  • Feeling more grounded, present, or connected in daily life

​

  • Creating routines or supports that actually work for you

​

  • Setting and holding boundaries that protect your energy

​

  • Learning to navigate emotions, stress, or burnout

​

  • Reconnecting with your values, goals, or identity

​

  • Rebuilding confidence, creativity, or a sense of purpose

​

  • Developing self-trust and self-compassion

Therapy isn’t about becoming someone new, it’s about reconnecting with who you already are underneath the noise.

Who I Help

I work with adults who are:

​

  • Managing chronic stress, anxiety, low mood, or emotional overwhelm

​

  • Burned out from over-functioning, caregiving, or perfectionism

​

  • Going through a life transition or reevaluating what they want

​

  • Feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of their next step

​

  • Seeking more balance, alignment, or direction

​

  • Interested in self-growth, identity exploration, or values-based living

​

  • Wanting to feel more empowered, intentional, and at ease in their life

What Therapy With Me Looks Like

I offer therapy that is:

​

  • Collaborative – We’ll work together to set intentions and shape the direction of our sessions

​

  • Practical – Strategies and insights tailored to your life, not generic checklists

​

  • Gentle & Nonjudgmental – No pressure to “optimize” or be perfect, just space to reflect and grow

​

  • Flexible – We’ll explore what wellness means for you, at a pace that feels sustainable

​

I draw from evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, DBT, and mindfulness, all from  a client-centered neurodiversity-affirming perspective. I support your whole-person wellness, while always centering your lived experience.

Can Online Therapy Support My Personal Growth?

While I do provide in-person therapy in Garden City, NY, this may not be an accessible option if you live outside of the NYC/Long Island area. Fortunately, I also offer online therapy throughout New York State for those for whom in-person therapy isn't an option.

​

Online therapy makes it easier to access care in a way that actually fits into your life. You can meet from the comfort of your own space, whether that’s your couch, your home office, or wherever you feel most at ease. There’s no commute, no rushing to get somewhere on time, and no need to rearrange your whole day just to make space for support.

​

Sessions can feel more relaxed, more accessible, and more consistent, especially if you’re balancing work, caregiving, chronic stress, or executive function challenges. And for many people, being in a familiar environment helps them open up more fully.

​

Online therapy gives you the flexibility to prioritize your mental wellness without adding more stress to your day.

Serving All of New York

As a licensed psychologist in New York, I offer online therapy for personal growth to adults located anywhere in the state, including NYC, Long Island, Albany, Rochester, Syracuse, Buffalo, and everywhere in between. If you’re anywhere in New York and ready to get support, I can meet with you virtually for online therapy. I also provide in-person therapy in Garden City, NY.

Ready to begin?

You don’t need to be in crisis to start therapy. If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or just ready to care for yourself in a new way, I’d love to connect.
