American Sign Language (ASL) Therapists in Cheshire, CT

One of my passions as a therapist is to help shape everyone's understanding of the value of mental health treatment whether it is for yourself or your child(ren). Redefining "treatment" as a preventive exercise for yourself to unlearn old patterns and create new paths to feel great is my goal. Shame and stigma need to removed from our society's view of therapy and that is one standard I aim high for in my work. Prepare to laugh and have fun too. Therapy can be hard at times but it should bring out the best in us!

My work is a dynamic blend of all that has profoundly influenced me: the science of Family Systems and my 30 years study in Buddhist psychology. My marriage of 27 years and my relationship with my two young adult children has offered countless teachings and insights into human nature. My passion is in helping my clients develop conscious partnerships, mindful parenting, heal from trauma and live free of anxiety and depression. My work is psychodynamic: integrating attachment theory, contemplative inquiry, meditative practices and relational awareness for healing and happiness.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and State of Connecticut Certified School Social Worker with a passion for helping children and adolescents work through developmental stressors, as well as working with families. After all, "It takes a village to raise a child." I use a combination of insight, humor, evidence based practices, and strength based counseling to promote better understanding and tolerance of issues that are causing distress at home, school and/or work place. My positive and supportive approach focuses on integrating calming strategies, mindfulness, coping skills, problem solving skills, and fostering independence.

Clients who are truly ready to for participate in their own personal growth from therapy are encouraged to reach out. Highly organized professionals have sought out therapy at different times in their lives due to an undercurrent of constant stress, stemming from an unknown source. Sometimes these sources begin to affect our relationships, or career, or our level of functioning that we expect from ourselves. As a therapist, I will provide a safe space to experience vulnerabilities, learn strengths, and overcome these obstacles. But, I will expect my clients maintain their responsibility of participation in the therapeutic process.
