Therapists in Berlin, CT

Therapy is a journey and I believe the most important first step is to develop a partnership between client and therapist to ensure we can work together to achieve your goals. My approach begins with taking the time to understand each, unique individual and to provide a safe and comfortable environment. As we work together to navigate life's challenges we will explore your inner strengths and positive qualities to make lasting change.

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony." Mahatma Gandhi I believe that everyone is seeking happiness and would like to achieve their full potential.

I am currently accepting clients for telehealth appointments. I am interested in working with clients who are working on, and want support for, a current specific issue/ concern and others who are seeking to heal past wounds to live more freely in the present day.

When looking for a therapist it's important you find someone your feel comfortable with. Therapy can be a safe place to share and explore feelings or issues that challenge most of us at one time or another. I use a strength-based, family systems approach in helping individuals, couples, adolescents, children, and their families to reduce stress, improve communication and relationships. My goal with all clients is to build on existing strengths, and help find realistic solutions to problems and help achieve their goals. I empower them to achieve the changes they are looking for, in a safe comfortable and non judgmental environment.

You feel in many ways lost as an individual, lost in your relationship, lost at work or that life's expectations are going to break you. Do you often find yourself feeling alone, resentful or misunderstood? Do you have an inner critic that won't get out of your head? Tired of pretending things are fine? Do you feel like you forgot who you once were? ​Maybe you find yourself frequently conforming to other's expectations leaving you stuck and unsure of your own self identify. Do you feel guilty or ashamed because you are not living up to the image you once had in your mind as to what your life "should" look like?

Every soul has a purpose. And sometimes, our soul loses sight of what that purpose is. As human beings, we are sure to encounter some sort of struggle within our lifetime. And as a person first, I understand how difficult it can be to ask for help. The benefits of asking for help far outweigh the risk of figuring it out, all on your own. Together, we will foster a safe, nonjudgmental, and healthy working relationship. Within this space, you will gain the courage to take action and work toward curating a life that is worth living.

At this time I am not accepting new patients. However if you would like to be on a wait list feel free to send an email. Just to name a few, if you are experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, or grief, I would like to assist you in working through those concerns to help you succeed.
