Anthem Therapists in Bristol, CT

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working with children, adolescents, adults and families for over 20 years! I continue to love what I do and look forward to partnering with you to feel better. We can work together to overcome the challenges that seem to be holding you back. I have experience working with concerns around relationships, trauma, parenting, children/adolescent issues, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, stress and personal growth challenges.

I am a Board Certifed Behavior Analyst and a Licensed Behavior Analyst in the state of Connecticut. I provide ABA services to children diagnosed with Autism ages 3 to 11 in the home. We strive at making a difference in the lives of children and famalies everyday.

It takes a lot of courage and strength to enter therapy. I provide a safe, supportive, and positive environment where the sources of stress and life difficulties would be identified. Ways to work through and overcome life challenges would then be presented and focused on with the goal of improving one's life one step at a time.

I am not taking any new clients at this time. Please refer to Psychology Today for a list of other clinicians in your area who may have some availability. When my schedule opens up I will post an update on this website. If you are in crisis, you should call 911 for immediate help. You can also call 211 where you will be connected to very caring clinicians at the other end of the phone 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

If you need someone who can understand you without judgment, you are in the right place. If you seek a culturally sensitive individual who puts emphasis in the client-therapist relationship, you have found her. I believe we all are not excepting to have difficulties in our lives, we all deal with struggles. You may need some guidance to address communication conflicts, support adjusting to changes or perhaps, someone to just listen. Whether a crisis, an unexpected event, past trauma or stressors, I am here for you. We all deserve the opportunity to be the best version of ourselves.

He has treated many different issues which vary in severity and specializes in: anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, OCD, anger management, depression, substance use issues and trauma. George is also a combat infantry veteran who deployed to Afghanistan which has given him the life experience to relate to other veterans, first responders and and people who work or live in high stress environments.

Have you recently realized that you no longer feel in control of your own life? During such a time, it is important to seek a safe place where you don't have to be afraid of what will come up or if you will be judged. Making that phone call to ask for help can be scary, and my down-to-earth approach will help ease that anxiety from the beginning. We can begin work immediately that will help you create a life that does not feel like such a battle.

I tailor my methods to the individual, as each person presents a unique personality and has different circumstances. I believe in fostering a deeply caring, non-judgmental atmosphere where you can feel heard and supported. I meet people where they are at and work together with them to make incremental changes toward meeting their goals.

My ambition is to improve people’s lives and I have chosen to do this through providing therapy as a clinician since 2016. I earned a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Saint Joseph. In my professional career I have worked with clients and families in various settings. This background has given me the opportunities to better support clients, to give guidance in developing skills, to offer insight that empowers positive change, and to watch them grow. I enjoy working with clients from various backgrounds and cultures. This has led me to meet some amazing people.

My focus is to help people heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. This will be achieved by providing a neutral/safe space, by listening to your concerns, and by customizing a evidenced based treatment plan- for you. The promised goal is to be there for you every step of your journey. The goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life.
