Therapists in New Milford, CT

Sometimes life can be challenging and reaching out for help can be difficult. Whether you are a child or an adult life can be overwhelming, which can result in losing focus on what is in your best interest. If you are a parent you may be feeling unsupported and confused about how best to help your child. We all can benefit from a little support during stressful times. As a therapist my goal is to work collaboratively with my clients to provide support and find practical solutions to assist in achieving a positive and balanced life. Your life’s journey matters and your story is important. I am here to help you navigate the bumps.

I am a registered, board-certified art psychotherapist and licensed professional counselor. I specialize in working with individuals who suffer from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and eating disorders. While not all of my clients use art making in session, I have found that when it is hard to talk about pain, a picture is worth a thousand words. Art psychotherapy requires no skill or artistic background, and can offer you a chance to express yourself in a new and transformative way.

I have treated a variety of problems including anxiety, depression, self esteem, grief and loss, drug and alcohol use, and relationship issues, as well as other life difficulties. I also have experience with the criminal justice population working along side of parole and probation.

Life can be unpredictable. It's often difficult to know where to begin to lift the weight off of your shoulders that things like stress and anxiety can add to. Making decisions, balancing relationships, maintaining a positive sense-of-self and many other aspects of our lives can take a back seat when life gets in the way. I find those first steps and reaching out for support to be the most difficult but I hope to make it a comfortable and easy environment for clients to do so. Whether you're a new parent, a student, someone who is affected by trauma or someone who feels they have lost touch with themselves: I am here to support you.

Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Therapist. I have worked with children of all ages, families, couples, adults and seniors. I have a BA and an MS from Western CT State University. I am here to help you learn, express and change in ways that you want to improve your life and well-being. I know change can be scary and hard, but I believe that you can make changes in your life with the right support, tools and encouragement. We will work together to move you forward and enjoy your future.

My greatest passion is bringing healing to people who have been through traumatic and stressful events.

It is possible to feel better, to see change, and to regain confidence, control and balance in your family and your life. As a therapist working with adults and teens I am relaxed, practical, and hands-on. My approach is direct and effective, focused on increasing the "toolbox" of skills you can use in difficult situations. Working together, we will set goals based on your immediate concerns, problem-solve solutions, try out new ways to think about and handle your problems, and we will make changes that are lasting.

When I first meet with clients, my goal is to help them find the main road back to their original journey from the exit that led them to the off ramp- I offer a steady hand for them to successfully maneuver in the foggy season of their lives. I provide a supportive environment suitable for helping clients form new insights in achieving alternate healthier perspectives than the ineffective solutions currently in use. I provide an atmosphere of professionalism, empathy, and privacy suitable for positive growth and achievable solutions.

One size never fits all. Each person and issue needs its own caring approach. Therapy includes: DBT, cognitive-behavioral, family systems, internal family systems, and trauma work, all with acceptance, warmth, and healing. Gains rely on maximum challenge with maximum support. I have successfully struggled in my life as a son, husband, and father of four. I know the pain of being wounded and the rewards of healing. For over 50 years I have helped kids and families as a teacher, school counselor, therapist, and supervising professor in three graduate counseling programs, including the Captains' Masters at the USMA at West Point.

I have much experience and perspective with families and children, relationship issues, recovery issues, ADD/ADHD, children of all ages and adolescents, psych testing and assessment, school psychology, diversity, and generalist issues in relation to liason work with other disciplines .

Appointments now available at 8am and 5pm Monday through Thursday and from 3pm to 5pm Friday with some weekend availability!

*Not accepting new clients at this time* Life in our contemporary society is far more complicated and stressful than in previous generations. Our coping skills are continually being tested, it is important for us to learn new ways to handle life’s changing demands and challenges. People and problems do not exist in a vacuum; home, school, work, and social environments, as well as cultural heritage, are important factors in how we feel and act. It is vital for us to acknowledge and understand these influences. Counseling is a process of exploring, clarifying and identifying what we require in order to feel better about our lives.
