Alcohol Use Therapists in East Lyme, CT

Women are feeling the pressure to be perfect & to do it all now more than ever. We are dropping out of the workforce or working at our careers then working "the double shift" at home. You tell yourself that you wont reach your goals. You predict what will happen and constantly ask “but what if...” You feel like something is broken or missing. You don't feel good enough. Despite your accomplishments, you feel like a failure. You put other peoples needs first. These thoughts have taken over and keep you up at night. I am here to help.

No matter what you are suffering from or want to improve, there are ways to get your brain to function better and give you the life you deserve.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who employs a family systems theoretical perspective in doing counseling with adults, adolescents, and children. Depending upon the particular client, I will conduct individual, couple/marital, or family sessions to help individuals gain insight into the dynamics of his or her family of origin. This approach includes an examination of the manner in which these behavior patterns are currently influencing the client's relationships with dating partners, spouses, children, in-laws, friends, co-workers, supervisors, employers, and other significant individuals in the client's life.

You may be struggling with the overwhelm and overstimulation in the world today impacting your individual relationships and self-regulation. My goal is to work collaboratively through personal/relational issues towards your own growth and work/life balance. Having Substance use and Psychoeducational Rehabilitation, Child Protection Services, Mitigation Services, Judicial Criminal and Family Court, School Social Work and Individual Counseling experience since 1996, I am familiar with the wide range of circumstances we face in life.

With literally hundreds of therapists in New London County alone, it is hard to know who to see. There are so many different degrees, license types, and approaches. By contacting us, we'll help you find a good match with a therapist in our Waterford practice. If we cannot find you a good match within our practice, we will find you one outside of it either nearby or elsewhere in the county (evaluation required).

Currently taking clients for >diagnostic evaluations<, couples, & >group therapy<. I am a caring, evidence-based, and holistic (consideration of the whole) therapist looking forward to challenging cases from people needing my expertise. Making use of a wide variety of therapies, from verbal to non-verbal, devoting much time on each of the select cases I take, and engaging in colleague consultations, I am often able to help with even the most challenging of issues. I also see children, doing family therapy even for the toughest kids. You'll see the difference family support makes, rather than my just trying to "fix the kid".

LPC and Certified Trauma Therapist using evidence-based interventions with over 16 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families who experience a variety of symptoms related to trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transition difficulties. As a Certified Integrative Medicine Mental Health Practitioner I go beyond traditional therapeutic interventions providing additional holistic wellness solutions.

Are you struggling with relationships, with being misunderstood? Is life leaving you feeling anxious, depressed, confused, overwhelmed, or scared? Are you ready to experience the best version of yourself? Are you interested in discovering new ways of seeing and experiencing yourself? In therapy I offer you a safe space to both heal from the past and grow into the future.

Please Note: (I am unable to take Anthem BC/BS clients currently). It can be overwhelming to know how to ask for help. If you do not know where to turn; or if you are struggling, don't try to face it alone. Let me be your guide. I enjoy working with couples and families who have lost their way and individuals (ages twelve and up) who struggle with relationship issues, mood or substance use disorders. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems theory, meditation, mindfulness, a sense of joy and humor to help clients and families be the best version of themselves.
