Autism Therapists in Connecticut

I have been providing psychotherapeutic treatment to children, adolescents, adults and families for over 20 years. My practice includes treatment for adjustment to life's challenges, anxiety, depression, along with developmental and autism spectrum disorders.

Do you have a child struggling at school or who may have ADHD? Or, do you have an elderly parent that may be showing the early signs of dementia/Alzheimer's disease? For both, a Neuropsychological Evaluation can help. My practice specializes in conducting targeted assessments to better understand your loved one's difficulties. I have extensive training in neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration, allowing me to see patients across the lifespan (6 to 90+ years old) with a variety of conditions (e.g., learning disorders, ADHD, autism, concussion/TBI, dementia, epilepsy, stroke, Parkinson's disease). Email me to discuss how I can help.

The past few years have challenged everyone's ability to manage stress and cope with uncertainty. Whether you have a history of mental health issues or are seeking therapy for the first time, I can offer support and strategies to help you manage stress, fear, anxiety, and depression.

Only accepting clients for psychological testing at this time. Do you feel stuck and unsure of what to do next to help your child? Maybe you feel as if you have tried everything you can and still do not have the outcome you wish? I would like to help you figure out what those next steps can be. I have 8 years of experience working with children (preschool through high school) as a CT certified school psychologist in a school system. With my additional license as a Professional Counselor (LPC), I bring unique skills to a private practice that allows me to really understand your child through multiple lenses and aspects of life.

ADHD is more than distraction or being unable to sit still. It affects every aspect of our lives. We can struggle with procrastination, time blindness, feeling "edgy," forgetting things, missing deadlines. Maybe you call yourself lazy when you just can't get moving to get things done, or you've been told you're too sensitive- feeling easily hurt or angry. We neurodivergent people often feel shame and embarrassment from our actions- like saying things we regret or acting impulsively, or for overspending or losing contact with friends. We'll often pretend we're fine and push through, but life can feel totally overwhelming!

Honored to be the recipient of the Outstanding Career Practitioner Award (2023), one of the highest honors from the National Career Development Association! I help young adults launch and early-career professionals re-launch by uncomplicating issues of career choice, job/internship search, and educational decisions.

If things are hard for you or your family, you are not alone. Are you trying everything but things still aren't working? Is your child struggling, discouraged or behaving in a way you didn't expect? It's easy to feel like you're doing something wrong. Not necessarily. Many children (and adults) need strategies that match their learning style, or that need adjusting as life changes. With challenges like ADHD, oppositional behavior or Autism, navigating the world can be even harder, especially in our current situation. I believe we all have strengths to celebrate and room for growth. You deserve the best life has to offer.
