Male Therapists in Chaplin, CT

At any given time we are doing the best we know. As a therapist, my work helps each client to experience and explore themselves honestly as they are. By helping to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental climate, I assist you to transform old patterns from the inside out.

I understand that we can benefit from help if we feel stuck, overwhelmed or not sure where to turn. Sometimes people get stuck in patterns that may have been helpful but have become limiting or even destructive. I believe therapy can provide deep healing which allows for greater flexibility, ease, self knowledge and enjoyment of life. With 20+ years of experience, I have been successful in helping my clients through depression, substance abuse, anxiety, panic and grief and loss or just gaining more satisfaction with their lives. It has been an honor for me to do this.

It can be easy to rush through life without stopping to notice much. Paying more attention to the present, your own thoughts and feelings, and to the world around you can improve your mental well-being. I empower clients to gain the skills needed to reach their goals, understand and regulate their emotions, and improve mindfulness and acceptance through a nonjudgmental and collaborative approach. I treat clients with Depression, Anxiety and Panic related disorders, PTSD, Individual and Family transitions, Relationship Issues, Grief and loss, Substance use, Dual Diagnosis, Intrusive Symptoms, and Severe and Persistent Mental Illness.

Kindness. Letting Go. Acceptance. Patience. Trust. Peace. If these words resonate with you, you may benefit from an approach like mindfulness based cognitive behavioral therapy. With this approach you can practice being kind and accepting towards yourself, including your thoughts and feelings, while at the same time working towards understanding and changing any unhelpful beliefs, habits, or situations in your life. Modern life, with all its stress and busyness and commotion, seems to combine with our individual challenges, difficulties, and burdens to push our human minds and bodies past the point of health and wellness.

Everyone needs someone to talk to, whether it's a family member, friend, spiritual leader, or someone else with whom you feel connected. If you've ever felt better after getting something off your chest, then you know what I mean. Therapy is often a place where we are free to share and explore the issues that challenge most of us at one time or another: relationships (romantic, family, etc.), stress, life transitions, parenting, anxiety, and more. My approach is one that respects where you are in your process, building the therapeutic relationship to help you move forward.

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2000. I believe asking for help is one of the most important choices we can make in life. I offer confidential counseling services with compassion and respect, without judgement.

Search no more! You have found the one you are looking for, Ha! I have always had a passion for helping people, and I found that niche within mental health. There is something about being able to connect with those who are curious, eager, resistant, and even ambivalent to change. Let me be transparent. Therapy takes a lot of hard work, vulnerability, and dedication, but I am willing to follow through to the end with you if that is what you are seeking. It's kind of my thing.
