One can have the desire to change, but it’s the Courage to take the first step that produces change. You are making a Courageous decision today and I applaud you for that! Therapy is a collaborative effort where we continually take steps to identify and create the change one seeks. My goal as a clinical social worker is three-fold: 1. To help you attain clarity in the matters that negatively impact your life, and 2. To support you as we identify options for dealing with those matters and create the change.

I believe we all have the potential to live our best life, however, sometimes we feel stuck and overwhelmed. I can support you to move forward. I am an experienced (20+ years) bilingual /bicultural therapist providing mental health to children, adolescents, college students and adults in a nurturing, safe environment. My goal is to support clients in deepening their understanding of themselves. My work is anchored in psychodynamic perspective, CBT, relational and with current neurobiological understanding of healing such as EMDR. I believe each individual is unique and therapy should be tailored to their needs and strengths.

Empowering individuals and families to better themselves through validation and empathy has always been a passion of mine for the past 18 years professionally. It is a journey to mental wellness. I view therapy as a partnership between client and therapist. Together, I want to help you cope with past traumas, decrease anxiety/depression and stabilize your mind to improve your quality of life. Through a relational/friendly style; I want you to experience nonjudgement & feel comfortable, respected, supported and appropriately challenged when needed. You are important; you can feel differently; you are not alone on this journey.

Therapy is for you to become resilient, increase well-being and begin healing. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and interactive. I have a range of experience and training in treating anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, work-related stress, and injury. I specialize in grief, pre/post-marital/relationships, parenting, and family conflict. I work with realistic goals and treatment plans that are client/family-centered.

Over 20 years of clinical experience working with adolescents, teenagers, and young adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and addiction in various treatment settings. Diversity and multicultural issues are embedded in everything we do and contribute to presenting problems. I am conscious of varying decision-making preferences, the role of family dynamics, stages of life, socioeconomic status, and issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity. As well as the stigma associated with seeking mental health services.

You feel in many ways lost as an individual, lost in your relationship, lost at work or that life's expectations are going to break you. Do you often find yourself feeling alone, resentful or misunderstood? Do you have an inner critic that won't get out of your head? Tired of pretending things are fine? Do you feel like you forgot who you once were? ​Maybe you find yourself frequently conforming to other's expectations leaving you stuck and unsure of your own self identify. Do you feel guilty or ashamed because you are not living up to the image you once had in your mind as to what your life "should" look like?

I believe a sense of trust is a key component for someone feeling safe in therapy. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental therapeutic relationship that will provide that experience for all of my clients. My unique, person-centered approach to therapy gives you the space to feel safe, secure and supported while using evidenced based modalities. I am trained in EMDR, DBT, CBT and Motivational Interviewing and tailor treatment to the individual. My role as your therapist is to help provide the tools needed to gain insight, self-discovery and healing from past experiences, allowing you to live a happier and more fulfilling future

If daily life often just feels overwhelming, let's talk. My office is a safe and comfortable place where I can help you develop a real understanding of what holds you back. If you feel like you need to strengthen your connection to yourself and others, I can help. Do you and your partner run into the same communication barriers over and over leaving you feeling hopeless? I utilize a method called Internal Family Systems to help you identify parts of you that may be getting in the way. By getting to know those parts of you, we can start you moving forward with confidence again.

Life can be messy! I would like to help you feel more grounded and supported to navigate the challenges. My interests include working with young adults—maybe you are struggling to adjust to college, working, “adulting,” or having relationship issues. I am also passionate about working with women on maternal wellness and motherhood struggles. I have completed specialized perinatal training through PSI and offer video sessions, which many of my mothers find convenient when juggling family and/or work. Please know that you are not alone. Therapy can help to release that “heaviness” you are carrying around.

Currently, I hold a master's degree in social work specializing in Mental Health Services from the University of Saint Joseph. I received the bachelor’s degree in criminology from Central Connecticut State University and hold an associates degree in criminal justice. I have experience with the court system and the stigma it has in many aspects. in addition, I have 4 years of experience working as a Counselor/Clinician specializing in Substance Use and have helped patients improve their lives.

My ideal client is looking for therapy to help them and wants to change their life for the better.

I began practicing as an in-home clinician working with people after discharge from long-term psychiatric hospitalization. It was during that period that I received intensive training to provide Dialectical Behavior Therapy. The intense dialectical process has been helpful for many of my clients to achieve stability and work towards resolving traumatic experiences. Part of regulating our behavior is teaching our body and brain to better regulate so I also specialize in Neurofeedback/biofeedback modalities to support behavioral interventions. Please see my practice website for details on Neurofeedback treatment: CTneurohealth.com

I welcome clients 18 and older seeking help with a life transition or to change personal or relationship patterns that no longer work. I obtain a comprehensive view of your concerns and life circumstances to arrive at a clear understanding of your goals. I use individual, couples, and/or group counseling based in mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral therapy skills to assist you to the outcome you desire. My clients tell me I listen effectively and that I offer meaningful feedback. I truly enjoy my work and utilize a strength-based approach with my clients.

Do you find yourself drinking more and more due to stress at work or issues in your relationships? You think you have it under control but know deep down, it may be time to talk to someone and are feeling embarrassed. I understand that asking for help can be hard and believe that by reflecting on what's currently contributing to your drinking will help motivate you to make changes. You want to feel better and drink less and I can help support you in cutting back and getting back into doing things you once enjoyed.

I am an experienced therapist having worked in inpatient psychiatry and private practice for the past 36 years. I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is one of the most important factors in healing. I enjoy working with individuals addressing issues of depression, anxiety and relationship issues. I also work with individuals who have long standing interpersonal issues as a result of their life experiences. My 36 years in practice has allowed me to experience almost every manner of life event. I would be honored to help you through yours.

I treat trauma, PTSD, phobias, grief and loss, and anxiety disorders of all kinds, even OCD. I help people who are having challenges in their relationships; people who are struggling with depression or substance abuse; people who want to feel more confident, motivated, fulfilled, or connected; or who simply want to be more at peace in the world.

Taking the first steps to find and select a therapist shows great strength. Though initially you may feel uneasy, this will be the beginning of a new journey; one that will help you gain more control over your life. Collaboratively, we will work in a supportive and caring atmosphere using a strength based approach. I work with clients who are dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, shame and guilt, as well as relationship issues.
