For an appointment text 203-214-7226. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor with more than 22 years experience, I believe the best way to conduct therapy is through understanding the relationship you have with yourself first. This relationship then translates to happier connections with others including parents, spouse, partner, and co-dependent relations including various addictions. By improving your relationships in all aspects of your life, you will see results in decreasing your anxieties and depression. Accepting HUSKY, BCBS, etc.

I would like to assist you in improving your overall life satisfaction. I have been providing psychotherapy for 37 years, helping people to grow and make changes in their lives so they may find their own personal peace and serenity. I would like to help you to identify and expand on your strengths, to identify goals you want to work on, and to develop new and healthy coping strategies. My experience is providing individual and couples therapy with adults, aged 18 and older, who struggle with depression, anxiety, anger, stress, trauma, mood swings, relationship issues, phase of life issues, and grief reactions.

I am a registered nurse and licensed professional counselor. I am multi-dimensional in the services I provide. I see children, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families. I started my career working with and teaching children who were not psychologically ready to move from kindergarten to first grade. My love for helping people inspired me to go back to school and pursue a nursing degree. After moving to Connecticut, I worked as a psych nurse at Waterbury Hospital at Merriman Hall for 6 years. This was a locked unit and it was here that I learned all the family therapy methodology.

I believe in making positive life changes for emotional well being. My experience includes work with adults in individual counseling, group therapy, and hospital based intensive outpatient programs. Some treatment approaches I utilize include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectic behavioral therapy, brief treatments, and an eclectic approach to meet the needs of individual clients. I have worked in settings including counseling centers, assisted living facilities and hospitals. Commonly experienced issues I have assisted clients in working through include behavioral issues, impulsivity, family conflict, loss, relationship issues, self esteem and self worth issues, and effectively managing mood disorders and personality disorders.

I am deeply committed to clinical excellence as well as a strong belief for growth for my clients and turning their despair to hope.

The path to healing and self-acceptance occurs through a collaborative approach, focused on enhancing personal strengths and insight. Empowering individuals to manage challenges and stressors. My therapeutic approach utilizes the principles of contextual and cognitive-behavioral techniques, as well as skill-based therapies to improve personal effectiveness and empowerment.

Are you tired of your anxiety taking charge of your life? Is your anxiety dictating what you do during the day? My area of expertise is anxiety management and trauma resolution. We will work together to help you overcome and/or manage your anxiety and your panic attacks. We practice these skills in sessions. You will feel much more confident in managing your stress and anxiety. I will also help you to process your past traumatic experiences that are currently causing severe distress and trigger you to negatively overreact. I would like to help you rediscover your purpose and passion and to live a more joyful and fulfilled life.

People come to therapy for a variety of issues, including struggles with transitions, substance abuse, PTSD, anxiety, depression, marriage conflict and challenges at work or school. The first step is to work together to establish what your goals are for therapy. My own life experiences have provided me with a greater ability and understanding of demonstrating unconditional positive regard passionately. Working together treating, educating and encouraging you to break free from the chains of addiction, and prosper into a healthy fulfilling life. Over the past 10 years, I’ve helped people become more successful in all areas of life.

You may be experiencing a full range of emotions that are often overwhelming. You may be feeling a sense of emptiness or instability as you struggle to find your identity. Relationships can be challenging to maintain and you may be feeling a sense of isolation.

We often find ourselves seeking out treatment following a loss; loss of love, loss of identity, loss of independence, a loss of something, anything that mattered. Loss is a time when our life path gets altered and we need to set a new course for ourselves. I've been there and have experienced the initial and ongoing pain and confusion of not understanding the loss, but I've learned there's always a reason and it leaves us stronger and wiser than before.

If you're troubled by distressing emotions, unproductive behavior patterns, or unsatisfying relationships - psychotherapy can help. I enjoy helping people make progress by better understanding and accepting themselves, and then by applying effective methods of change. It's useful to understand that our feelings and actions - for better or worse - are actually influenced by our thoughts and attitudes. When we develop greater awareness and flexibility with our thinking patterns, then we can better handle emotions and be more purposeful with behavior.

My mission is to help you to explore your life experience, to come to better know your true self, and to become empowered to enjoy your best possible quality of life. Realizing and building upon inner strengths - and courageously working through difficulties within the safety of a therapeutic relationship - are important to this process. I work in a primarily psychodynamic, integrative way based upon each person's individual needs and goals, whether related to relationships, trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, identity, life transitions, somatic symptoms, ADHD, problematic or self-defeating behaviors, or other issues.
