Therapists in Branford, CT

The goal of my work is primarily about creating a safe, warm and non-judgmental environment in which you can explore and process your concerns, fears, and other life struggles that may be impacting your relationship with yourself, others, and the world.

I've been in this field for 20 years and doing private practice for 15 of them. My passion lies in helping people in a variety of settings. I've worked in multiple community based programs, including Youth and Family Services throughout the state. Most recently, I've been working with homeless/at-risk youth and children in crisis. My ability to work with a diverse population has allowed me to develop a "no-nonsense" aproach to therapy. I believe in my client's and their ability to make significant life changes.

I provide individual, family, couples and group therapy. I help my clients find constructive ways of addressing anxiety, depression, loss, family and relationship issues. By doing so I've learned many lessons along the way... one of these lessons is that we all seek compassion and understanding; a basic need in order to move forward under almost any circumstance.

Are you seeking personal growth, self-discovery, and healing? Maybe you are dealing with issues that may include, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem, trauma, or life transitions? We all need support and guidance within a safe, understanding space.

In a safe, welcoming environment, I help you navigate your personal journey toward growth and healing from trauma, anxiety and/or depression. I want to help individuals restore balance and joy to their lives through exploring with them what is causing a sense of uncertainty, lack of purpose, communication barriers, intimacy loss, or general disease. If you are ready to find greater connection, happiness and meaning, please call my office for a free consultation. We can discuss where you are at and what you are looking for in a therapist.
