Couples Counseling Therapists in Old Greenwich, CT

I love my work and feel incredibly fortunate to have formed so many meaningful therapeutic relationships. It is a privilege to travel with clients as they emerge from suffering and utilize the strengths they have found and the skills they have learned to achieve balance and ultimately, their life goals. The relationship between therapist and client is a real, equalitarian relationship built on honesty, respect, and collaboration. As we get to know each other, you will find that I am warm, genuine, non-judgmental, flexible, direct, and irreverent. I have a good sense of humor and believe that laughter is an important part of healing.

We all face challenges that can sometimes seem overwhelming. Are you negotiating life changes? Are you trying to reduce depression, anxiety, stress, or loneliness?

The people I work with seek therapy for all the emotional turmoil life throws at you: pressures to perform, anxiety, marriage and premarital distress, trouble sleeping and changes in mood. Others I see come to therapy with a broader wish to understand their own nature, to see themselves and timeworn habits more clearly. In each case, my goal is not to simply fix problems in your life or marriage, but rather to help you gain control when it seems like the world around you is spinning. For couples, my goal is to move your relationship from distress to security, understanding and mutual trust.

The quest for clarity, for contentment is exhausting and that "Life Is Good" banner taunts us mercilessly. Often, life isn't good - no matter how good we appear to others. Talking about our hopes, dreams, expectations and disappointments can be hard, but it's the best way to make better sense of our desire and the emotionality that necessarily comes with it.

Accepting New Clients: I work with adults, couples and teens. Are you conflicted about a painful past, stressed about your future, or surprised by current dynamics triggering unsettling emotions? Together you can heal past traumas and deepen self-reliance, resilience, and clarity. By shifting worn-out emotional states, you will gain sustained change.

You’re exhausted from the daily grind and some life transitions that haven't been easy. Your expectations for emotional and physical intimacy with your partner aren’t panning out the way you thought they would. In the beginning, it was easy to put a lot of energy and attention into your relationship because of all the excitement and anticipation. But after the honeymoon phase, you got into a rhythm of work, chores, and maybe kids too. Now communication is breaking down quickly and you have no idea how to get close again. Nothing you try is working. You need professional expertise that works and you need it now!
