Therapists in Bethlehem, CT

I have an extensive history working with adults and adolescents who struggle with trauma, addiction, eating disorders, and the ongoing stressors of everyday life. My goal is to help individuals find their meaning and purpose while working to develop effective coping skills.

I am a registered, board-certified art psychotherapist and licensed professional counselor. I specialize in working with individuals who suffer from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and eating disorders. While not all of my clients use art making in session, I have found that when it is hard to talk about pain, a picture is worth a thousand words. Art psychotherapy requires no skill or artistic background, and can offer you a chance to express yourself in a new and transformative way.

As a clinician, my most inspiring clients are the adolescents and adults that have overcome the struggles of addiction, eating disorders and family conflict. Effective change happens when strategies addressing the underlying problem are individualized and creative. The safe space offered in therapy allows my clients to explore their feelings, their choices, and challenge their patterns of behavior. I have worked extensively with teens struggling at school, at home, and with the legal system. My work with parents includes finding effective strategies to reach their teen while opening the lines of communication within the family system.

I have exceptional success with children, teens, and young adults. I work with stress, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD and learning disabilities, eating disorders, trauma and PTSD, addiction recovery, and autism. I listen carefully, have an active and direct style, and believe that everyone needs compassionate understanding and specific answers to meet their needs and move on.

**Daytime hours only** In my practice, I offer a warm, comfortable, and safe environment to help you to begin to explore the underlying issues that have brought you to therapy. My approach is non-judgmental and accepting, and I value openness and honesty in my clients. I understand that it can be anxiety-provoking for some to reach out for help initially, so my hope is that my relaxed, kind, and truly caring style will help to put you at ease.

Are you looking for a supportive and open-minded therapist to assist you with your goals? I utilize strengths based, culturally sensitive, and trauma informed practices in treatment.

My work includes treatment with clients experiencing trauma, divorces, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, substance use, ADHD, bi polar, and co occurring.

Eating disorders and experiencing life stressors are often painful, exhausting, and really difficult to go through. People can get stuck in vicious cycles that are no longer productive but are maintained because it may be the only thing that helps. I can offer support to help break the cycles of eating disorders or life stressors to allow you more freedom and peace in your life. I believe that recovery is possible and everyone is deserving of recovery. With a little support, perspectives can shift, new discoveries can be made, and recovery can be possible. I am here to help support and guide you toward your path of recovery.

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.

My "ideal" client is an individual, couple or family who needs changes in their lives. Anyone with signs of distress, anxiety, anger issues or substance abuse may benefit from psychotherapy.

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.

For the past 30 years, my personal quest has been to find the most transformative tools, skills and techniques to create a healthy, joyful and abundant life. Understanding is power. Once you grasp that your personal beliefs create your emotions, and that those emotions cause your behaviors, you’re then in a position to transform your life. Similar to updating a computer's old operating system to gain maximum function, we need to update our old ways of thinking as well. Outdated and negative beliefs can be reframed and replaced with healthy and positive ones.

I have 17+ years experience building positive and productive therapeutic relationships with individuals, couples and families. It is time to let go of those unhelpful patterns, thoughts and behaviors that are keeping you stuck. Together let’s start replacing them with healthy productive ones so you can live the life you desire.

Hope, resilience, renewal, expansion. We all have a fundamental need, and the innate capacity to heal, grow and flourish. It is a sign of your strength and striving for health that you are seeking support from a professional. With a safe, affirming therapeutic relationship as our base we can harness the power of your strengths to transform what may be blocking you from living your full potential.
