We work with clients experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, hoarding, relationship issues, stress related to career, aging transitions, academic challenges, and a multitude of other symptoms.
Our mental health is essential to care for when family, careers, physical health, money, or livelihood are at stake. We often look at others and think "I want what they have". We see what we want to see. Doing this quite often takes a lot of energy and can leave you feeling anxious, depressed, and angry. I am a therapist because I firmly believe that every person should have one place they can go to not be judged and feel confident that the person in the therapist chair is going to help them see future hope and options.

I treat individuals, families, and couples.
Do you struggle with communication, setting boundaries, or expressing your feelings? Are you feeling unmotivated, overwhelmed, or anxious? Do you bottle your emotions? Strong negative emotions can get in the way of the person you want to be and limit your life. You may find yourself spending more time dwelling on painful thoughts or memories that leave you filled with distress, self-doubt, and insecurity. It may also be that you worry about the future or perhaps your emotions or behavior have cost you relationships or opportunities.

My experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples over the past 40 years has demonstrated that no challenge is impossible, no situation hopeless. I see people dealing with issues typical of their phase of life, their relationships, their families, their use of substances, and/or mental illness ranging from the mild to the severe. Because I see people of all ages (16 and up) with all kinds of reasons for coming to see me, I'm best thought of as a general practitioner. I am, however, developing an increasing interest in working with the trans and gender diverse.

In working with couples I find that even when they are hurt and angry, if both people are willing to learn about their partner's pain, take responsibility for their part of the problems, and work toward rebuilding trust, relationships can be repaired.
After working with people on the Connecticut shoreline for over thirty years in private practice, I moved my practice to my home in North Branford. I specialize in working with people who are having relationship difficulties, including divorce and remarriage issues. My experience has taught me that it is not helpful to try to fit clients into a particular theory or therapeutic technique; however I rely heavily upon Relational Life Therapy (Real) and Compassionate Inquiry (Mate). Since every client and couple are unique, we need to understand why they are stuck and what is standing in the way of their getting on with their lives.

My primary interest is in helping people to help themselves by releasing and reinforcing emotional resources previously unrecognized and unused. Imaging issues creatively and incisively can generate the emotional strength and confidence to deal with problems, even those seemingly insurmountable. Much of the enthusiam for my work has been derived from my connection with the Yale University School of Medicine.

Couples Counseling Therapists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
