Therapists in East Haven, CT

I believe in the healing benefits of the human/animal bond. I specialize in nature and animal-assisted therapy and equine-assisted therapy. I believe in working "outside of the box," of the traditional office-based setting by providing an alternative, experiential approach to child/adolescent counseling. Clients partner with their animal companions while interacting in nature's great outdoors. I have expertise in working with children with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, behavioral concerns, LGBTQ+, issues of divorce, and blended families.

Everyone has their own stories and perspectives. Regardless of the issue, reclaiming a healthy life when feeling subjugated and repressed by the existing problems is difficult. Sometimes these problems manifest through anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and many more. These conditions can easily make you feel you don't have a place or a say in this world. Feeling dignified and validated is also challenging when you can't find a true voice.
