Are you struggling with problems that seem hopeless? Do you feel no one is listening? Is your motivation low? Does fear control your life? It is difficult to be in any of these situations and it may feel hopeless now but with my help we will find solutions. I use a trauma informed approach and provide a safe environment so you may learn to reduce the control fear has on you or improve your ability to communicate in difficult relationships. With all issues, we will work together to discover your strengths and build the skills needed to bring about change.

As a couple and family therapist my approach views family, intimate partner and peer relationships as the foundation of our well-being. Our relationships shape how we view ourselves and influence future relationships. Depression, anxiety and general distress often occur as a result of strained relationships in our lives. I work with individuals, couples and families to identify the important stories which shape our understanding of ourselves and our relationships. Progress is achieved through gaining insights into our vulnerabilities and overcoming our defenses to create a positive environment for relationship intimacy to develop.

As all of us seek wellness (safety, comfort, peace, health), and growth (knowledge, spirituality, compassion), we all draw upon various skills, goals, experiences and beliefs that shape our behavior. In my work, I respect clients as individuals who are doing what they can to achieve wellness and growth, and who experience successes to greater or lesser degrees in the different phases and circumstances of their lives. My efforts in counseling focus on what the client wants and how they can identify and apply their own strengths and resources in order to meet their personal goals.

It can be easy to rush through life without stopping to notice much. Paying more attention to the present, your own thoughts and feelings, and to the world around you can improve your mental well-being. I empower clients to gain the skills needed to reach their goals, understand and regulate their emotions, and improve mindfulness and acceptance through a nonjudgmental and collaborative approach. I treat clients with Depression, Anxiety and Panic related disorders, PTSD, Individual and Family transitions, Relationship Issues, Grief and loss, Substance use, Dual Diagnosis, Intrusive Symptoms, and Severe and Persistent Mental Illness.

At any given time we are doing the best we know. As a therapist, my work helps each client to experience and explore themselves honestly as they are. By helping to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental climate, I assist you to transform old patterns from the inside out.

Hello, I want to congratulate you on being curious on what is out there. It takes courage and strength to be vulnerable and open. We all know that at times life can be hard, at times overwhelming and uncertain of what to do. Having a person to talk to can be a weight off your shoulders and there’s help available. Everyone deserves to feel better.

I believe that change is possible. Realizing when things are not working, and that something needs to change, is an important point in creating the life you want to have. I am glad that you have chosen to see if therapy can help you. My goal is to create a safe place in which you can learn to understand yourself, heal your wounds, and to become the person you want to be. I work with adults and adolescents dealing with a variety of issues; from everyday struggles, anxiety, depression, psychological trauma and dissociation, eating disorders, relationship issues, spirituality, and aging.

We are Change Counseling. Let us help you on your journey. We provide a holistic and non-judgmental approach to individual and couples therapy.

" Simply become who you are." My goal is to walk with my clients as they navigate the sometimes confusing process of "becoming." I offer strength based, relationship focused support to young children and the adults who care for them. I work with caregivers to increase awareness and understanding of the unique challenges and gifts these early years bring. I also offer support to adults going through life's transitions - be it beginning a new career, marriage, divorce, starting or ending school, death, unexpected illness or other changes in life that have left you feeling a bit lost for direction.

On our path in life we all go through times of struggle. Sometimes from unresolved past issues or just problems in the present. I believe we can learn to know ourselves and move through difficulties when we have support from a trusted individual with whom we can process. I work in collaboration with clients to build on natural strengths, while addressing barriers to progress, so they can move toward their goals. I work from a wholistic perspective (mind/body) and create an emotionally supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe to share their stories and create insight for action and growth.

If you're stuck in a pattern of behavior or thinking that isn't working for you and you want to feel better, I welcome your call! I use traditional psychotherapy as well as acupressure and other body-based techniques to help clients improve quickly. I particularly enjoy working with individuals who are interested in a holistic approach to healing that includes incorporating diet, exercise and mindfulness strategies. I also run groups for men and women throughout the year.

My work focuses on positive relationships - with yourself and others - based on compassion and fearless self-awareness. Even when we are thinking, feeling or doing things that we don't like, there is something about it all that makes sense. Uncovering the mystery of that logic is important to therapy. This process helps us come home to ourselves and to the present moment. I specialize in individual and couple goal oriented therapy. I also have considerable expertise in parent-child relationships, behavior management and emotional intelligence in children (see more at www.PositiveParentingCT.com).

Choosing a therapist to help guide you on your life's journey can be difficult. Congratulations on taking this step! With nearly 30 years of clinical experience I have come to believe that it is the relationship between therapist and client that supports client growth and change. I provide a gentle, challenging approach to guide your journey in identifying, understanding and actualizing your goals. My areas of specialty include trauma and loss, grief work, men's issues and those challenges associated with aging and retirement. I accept most major insurance companies and sliding fees are available if needed.
