Female Therapists in Avon, CT

Engaging in any form of psychotherapy involves entering into a new relationship. The relationship you develop with your therapist plays a major role in everything that will take place in the treatment process. My work typically begins with actively listening to the stories and problems of my clients, assisting them in organizing their goals and desired areas of change. I like to help clients explore the underlying root causes contributing to the distress, whilst equipping them with alternative coping skills and strategies to implement.

Play, expressive and animal assisted therapies utilize various forms of creative expression: art, music, movement, story-telling, role play, puppetry, sand, and animal energy, to help clients explore, feel, express and transform difficult emotions both for youth and their families. Together we will work to creatively resolve issues and teach coping strategies to alleviate unsettling feelings. I have worked with youth and families for over 35 years in various settings and capacities - teacher, counselor, coach, mentor and mom.

I work with individuals across the life span in a relational process to work through life transitions, loss and grief, career/school counseling, health adjustments, goal achievement and family/relational communication. I am here to assist each individual with their person goals, learning to set boundaries and how to get their needs met in a healthy productive way.

Don’t give up. You are not alone. When we are experiencing emotional pain, healing occurs when an empathic and compassionate therapist helps you to explore and understand what your psyche needs. Pain is inevitable at times in our lives, although suffering does not have to be. Emotional discomfort is the signal from your psyche that change is necessary and crises and challenges can be opportunities for our psyche to heal and grow. If you have experienced a loss, are trying to manage conflicts with a partner, friend or colleague, or you are seeking to improve your relationship with yourself, therapy can be helpful.
