I believe that trust is the cornerstone of every meaningful therapeutic relationship, and my goal is to make you feel safe, relaxed and supported from the moment you send that first email to inquire about our first session. I know that reaching out to a new therapist or even seeking therapy for the first time can seem daunting, but I truly believe that it can be the best form of self-care. Our mental health is the key to our happiness. My style is warm, empathetic and nurturing, but I will work with you to create tactical and personalized strategies, equipping you with tools to grow and connect with your most authentic self.

At times it can be helpful to speak to someone other than a friend or family member. That's where I can help. As a licensed psychologist with 20 years experience and certified psychoanalyst I am trained to listen without judgement. Together we will explore your immediate concerns and past experiences. We will identify thoughts and feelings that may be leading to negative consequences, and work to remove roadblocks. You may wish to address a situation at hand or work towards change that is more long standing. Whether struggling in a relationship, grieving a loss, feeling stuck--speaking to a psychotherapist can offer hope.

I focus on helping you become more fully who you are or want to be. Over our lifetime we learn behaviors and beliefs that were rewarded or were necessary for acceptance at home, work, school or anyplace we interacted with others. We may carry these (mostly unconscious) beliefs and behaviors with us even though they may be unhelpful and/or destructive. They may show up in intimate relationships, friendships, work or other places that impact our quality of life. Working together we identify counterproductive beliefs and behaviors and replace them with beliefs and behaviors that support the adult you want to be.

Congratulations!, first for identifying a problem and secondly for taking the difficult but important first step to connect with services. If we ignore what impacts our emotional well-being all other areas of our life can be affected. Having an attentive and supportive therapist to help you make sense of your experience and discover your unique strengths can make all the difference in moving past these obstacles.

Intimate relationships are fluid and complex. Conflict does not mean you are incompatible. It is a signal that you should start paying attention to the relationship. Problems do not magically go away! Conflict in a relationship can feel like a crisis, but it is also an opportunity for growth and change. It takes courage to "stand up" and work hard on a relationship. Really facing what is in front of you, no longer living with pain, or loneliness, is challenging. After 40 years experience I can use my skills and knowledge to help shift the dynamic and allow you to move forward as a couple.

Everyone has a story incredibly personal to them; a story that is full of many chapters. These chapters hold celebrations, accomplishments, losses, successes, pain, joy, sorrow, hardships, victories, and desires. We often find ourselves stuck in a chapter of our lives requiring support. Our journeys are unique to ourselves yet they are fundamentally connected to one another.

Wine Trail Behavioral Health, LLC is a private practice devoted to the notion that the provision of competent services is based on an appreciation of interpersonal (i.e., relational) as well as intrapersonal factors in the etiology and maintenance of emotional and behavioral problems. Toward this end, a broader more ecologically oriented framework that targets the multiple contexts in which children and families are embedded, is adopted. Importantly, this approach to treatment is consistent with causal modeling literature in the areas of child and adolescent psychopathology, and has received empirical support in controlled clinical trials.

How can I find a therapist in Connecticut?

Search for nearby therapists or counselors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or zip code; or a provider’s name into the search bar. From there, you can filter providers by the issues they treat, cost, insurance, gender, and other factors to find providers who are well-suited to your needs. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
