Therapists in Connecticut

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and my specialty is figuring out what needs to be done to affect change. I use a variety of techniques to help my clients identify the patterns that are disrupting the quality of their lives. I will work with you to form a therapeutic relationship and will "meet you where you are" emotionally and psychologically. I will help you learn to shift behaviors that are not serving you well, and assist you in achieving your full personal potential.

Making that first call to a therapist can feel daunting. But at times we all need some help. Maybe you're struggling with relationship issues. Perhaps you have a life dilemma to resolve. Or perhaps you're just feeing overwhelmed with stresses or emotions. Whatever it may be, I welcome your inquiry. Together we can find ways to support your desire for relief, satisfaction, and even joy in your life. I look forward to hearing from you.

As an experienced marriage and family therapist, I specialize in helping couples and individuals rediscover the intimacy and close connection with their partners and with themselves that they may feel has been missing. I enjoy working with couples to help resolve short or long-term issues within their relationships, and enjoy helping individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, and low self-esteem, and with issues related to parenting, family, career, and life transitions. My clients tell me I have a warm, down-to-earth style that puts them at ease, and helps even those new to therapy to feel seen, heard and understood.

I'm a masters level psychotherapist, licensed in both RI and CT. I am also available to serve as Guardian ad Litem in SECT family court and offer in-person co-parenting workshops. I provide a safe and nurturing environment for individuals to share their unique experiences and rediscover their individual strengths in order to become better problem solvers. I believe learning WHY we react to the world in the specific way we do is the key to changing problematic behaviors and improving relationships.

I enjoy working with adults, individually and as couples in addressing a wide range of issues. We will explore your family of origin as you gain greater insight into life schemas and patterns and develop coping strategies and communication skills. Substance abuse and dependency and domestic violence fall under my areas of expertise as well. I use trauma informed approaches including EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, dbt, talk therapy and somatic therapy.

I have been a psychotherapist for several decades and have been trained in a variety of therapy approaches: client-centered, psychodynamic, humanistic, relational, feminist/gender, and mindfulness. I work with individual adults and adolescents. I believe in the connections between our youth and our current situations. I see the psychotherapeutic process as a client's journey in which I have been invited to participate. My view of the goal of psychotherapy is to assist a person in making changes to his/her perceptions, interpretations, reactions and/or behavior in order to enhance the quality of that person's life.

Compassion, warmth and humor is what you will experience when we work together. By using the evidenced based model, Internal Family Systems, (IFS) you will feel supported on your journey toward Self awareness, with a new understanding that there is always a “why” behind your feelings and reactions. You will gain clarity about the multiplicity that is uniquely you; not just talk about it like traditional talk therapies. Healing will lead to living a joyful, and intentional life. We cannot change the past, nor predict the future. We can live today with confidence, courage, and authenticity, and, especially with more self compassion.

For the past 30 years, my personal quest has been to find the most transformative tools, skills and techniques to create a healthy, joyful and abundant life. Understanding is power. Once you grasp that your personal beliefs create your emotions, and that those emotions cause your behaviors, you’re then in a position to transform your life. Similar to updating a computer's old operating system to gain maximum function, we need to update our old ways of thinking as well. Outdated and negative beliefs can be reframed and replaced with healthy and positive ones.

Heal from confusion, feeling lost, fighting, anger, infidelity, and harsh self-judgments. Your personal and professional life can improve.

These strategies are essential in transitioning from feeling unsettled towards being able to ride waves of challenge with ease and intention.
