Therapists in Farmington, CT

Imagine having the things you want in your life, and less of what you don't. I help clients identify and achieve their goals by creating an open and trusting environment where they can share what is bothering them. My ability to put people at ease through empathy and humor helps us work together to find solutions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, women and veterans. My specialty is treating Dual Diagnosis, Trauma, Women's Issues, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety and Relationship Issues. My clinical experience includes inpatient, outpatient and residential settings. I currently work from a Person-Centered approach as well as a Strength- Based perspective utilizing Motivational Interviewing, Relapse Prevention, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems, Trauma Informed Therapy, Brief-Solution Focused Therapy and Play Therapy.

I have always gained great satisfaction from helping people feel happier and in learning more effective ways to achieve more fulfilling lives. Those clients who are eager and open to learning more about themselves in order to achieve these goals benefit most from my approach as a therapist. I often focus, therefore, on insight, meaning, and symbols (including dream interpretation)in order to help clients establish a more positive and accepting perspective of themselves and others. In therapy, I work with obstacles against achieving these goals that include anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and interpersonal and relationship issues.

The fact that you are here and searching for a therapist is a sign of health. My promise is to make a safe place for you and really listen, support, and guide you. I am interested in your uniqueness, your hidden resources, strategies proven to work, mindfulness-based stress reduction, developing trust in one's internal guidance system, and practices that deepen a sense of connection and purpose. Our relationships are like a mirror where we can learn and grow and heal all wounds. When we have difficulties, we have rich opportunities.

Are you ready to forgive yourself and others who have significantly impacted your life? Through learning to forgive you can deepen your awareness of what may prevent you from having more joy, love, and peace in your life. When you are not ready to forgive you can easily get stuck in a cycle of depression, anger, fear and anxiety. We all have innate wisdom and knowing that allows us to heal from any trauma or difficult life experience. Therapy is about coming to understand and know you have basic goodness as a human being. I will help you connect with that inner wisdom and knowing to create more meaning and purpose in your life.

I treat trauma, PTSD, phobias, grief and loss, and anxiety disorders of all kinds, even OCD. I help people who are having challenges in their relationships; people who are struggling with depression or substance abuse; people who want to feel more confident, motivated, fulfilled, or connected; or who simply want to be more at peace in the world.

Feeling down, overwhelmed, anxious, or not like yourself? Are you feeling stuck and would you like to improve your relationship? Is your kid experiencing emotional, social, academic, or other issues? If so, I can help. I use short-term and research-based treatment with individuals, couples, and families. My therapy sessions help to heal painful issues, overcome presenting problems, and provide clients with insight and coping skills to handle all of life's obstacles.

I've been practicing as a psychotherapist for over 30 years. I have been clinical director of mental health facilities and on the faculty of Tufts University School of Medicine. I welcome clients 14 years of age and older -- individuals and couples, and offer you a warm personal approach focusing on your specific needs. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" model of practice or that therapy should be "a way of life." Therapy begins with a careful assessment and plan. If what we are doing isn't working for you, we change it.

Welcome and thank you for reviewing my profile. Many people do not realize the potential benefits of therapy when struggling with life transitions, problems, or decisions. Often, time passes while the burden of carrying these difficulties remain and become heavier. I believe in a collaborative, strength-based approach that is solution-focused and goal-directed. I work towards instilling hope that change is possible and attainable and my role as a therapist is to assist you in making change happen.

Not accepting new clients at this time. Are you looking for a private and relaxing atmosphere where you can receive individualized counseling for yourself? I have significant experience working with adolescents and adults who have experienced trauma in their lives.

My style is to be a supportive and collaborative partner with you using my more than 20 years of experience and training with your own desire to grow and heal. With sensitivity & compassion I will help you to do the deep transformative work that goes beyond just "talk therapy", and help you embody your emotions to work with the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of your issues. My goal is for you to feel as safe, comfortable and accepted as possible, and I would be honored to be a part of your journey.
