Self-care is not selfish.
Therapy for Kids & Teens in Long Island, NY
You're exhausted from constantly feeling like your child’s/teens outbursts, withdrawal, or struggles to cope are signs they need more support than you can provide on your own?
It’s like you can never say the right thing or know what to say.
Maybe your child had a big "blow-up" at school, lashing out at a teacher or classmate, or perhaps your teenager just revealed they no longer feel safe opening up to you after witnessing a heated argument at home. You may find yourself struggling to get through the day-to-day chaos of managing homework battles, mood swings, or sibling conflicts, or perhaps your teen has stopped engaging altogether—spending all day in their room, avoiding family and friends. Maybe you're feeling lost, unsure how to connect with your child or help them navigate their overwhelming emotions, and wondering if things will ever feel “normal” again.
I’m here for you.
You’re allowed to pause and let others know what feels right (or not okay) for you.
You don’t have to keep it all inside or go along with things that feel uncomfortable. Your feelings matter, and your voice deserves to be heard—even if it shakes a little. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or just need a minute, it’s okay to speak up. We all need space sometimes to figure out what feels right for us.

Here’s what we’ll do together
Therapy for kids & teens can help create a connected family environment.
Therapy for kids and teens isn’t just about talking—it’s about feeling seen, heard, and supported in a way that makes sense to you. Whether you're dealing with big feelings, changes at home or school, or just feeling stuck, therapy gives you a space to explore what's going on in your world without judgment. Through creative expression, movement, and conversation, we work together to make sense of your thoughts and emotions, so you can feel more confident, understood, and in control.
When kids and teens feel safe to express themselves, it opens the door for stronger family connections. I also work closely with caregivers to build communication skills, set healthy boundaries, and create routines that feel good for everyone. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s connection. Together, we build tools that help your family feel more supported, respected, and emotionally in tune with each other.
When all is said and done, here’s the thing:
You are more resilient than you realize, even when life feels heavy or overwhelming.

Kid and teen therapy sessions are designed to feel safe, comfortable, and engaging. While talking is a key part of our work together, I also incorporate creative and interactive exercises tailored to each child’s or teen’s unique needs. This might include movement, art, or mindfulness techniques to help express emotions in ways that feel natural and manageable. The goal is to make the process feel empowering rather than overwhelming, allowing your child to open up at their own pace while gaining valuable tools for managing their emotions and behaviors. Together, we’ll work toward building trust, confidence, and stronger communication skills in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.

The length of therapy depends on your child/teen’s unique needs and goals. Some children & teens may benefit from just a few sessions to address a specific challenge, while others may need longer-term support to work through deeper or ongoing struggles. I always tailor our work together based on what feels right for your family and your child/teen’s progress. My priority is to ensure that each session is meaningful and that we’re making strides toward your child’s emotional growth and well-being. I’m here to support you through this journey, for as long as it takes to help your child/teen thrive.
