Anthem Therapists in Cheshire, CT

As a psychologist in Cheshire for over 25 years, my focus is on helping you to feel better, function better, and live a more satisfying life. I have extensive training in working with adolescents, adults, couples, and seniors. I can help you navigate your way through a major life transition or deal with specific issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, or relationship problems.

My style is warm, compassionate, and relational, and my training is in both traditional talk therapy as well as in the expressive arts. I consider it a privilege to work with my clients as they overcome obstacles that stand in the way of them living their best lives. I specialize in supporting clients in overcoming eating disorders and other complex food and negative body-image related issues. I have been honored to support clients working toward or in recovery from eating disorders, as well as those who experience anxiety, depression, ADHD, negative body image, trauma, medical illnesses, grief and loss in my practice.

Typically, the usual approach to addiction begins with the premise that something is broken, and needs to be fixed. You will often be given a list of things to do,and a time frame to do it in. I believe that my job is to help you reflect on why you behave and think the way that you do, and coach you to begin the process of making the changes you need to make in your life in order to heal. Change begins with you. It is important to become more solution-focused, and not distracted by worry and anxiety.

Welcome! I have worked in the behavioral health field for over a decade within home, community and school based settings. I provide a comfortable space for adults to express their thoughts and feelings. Additionally, I love working with children and adolescents using creative approaches to facilitate the therapy process like arts and crafts, and games. Therapy can help children learn to cope with life challenges, and teach children how to express themselves in a positive way. For adolescents, therapy can be a safe place to discuss concerns and develop plans for positive growth.

To seek therapy takes courage and curiosity. The process of therapy gives us the opportunity to explore the impact of the multiple systems with which we are connected- family, work, home, friends, community- in the context of an affirming relationship with the therapist. Through this process, we come to better understand how we have interacted with these systems over time, the strategies we have developed to navigate them successfully, and how these systems have impacted us, contributing to both opportunities and challenges.

I help people discover who they truly are by assisting them to balance emotional, mental and physical health which will lead to harmony in their lives. When we experience this harmony it brings happiness, success and joy. Often we encounter the same issues and problems in relationships with family members, at work, school, and in the community. Our limitations are expressed through our interactions with others. If our mind is preoccupied by memories, we are stuck in a loop and can lose self esteem, motivation and confidence. There are answers. The ability to change behavior and make better choices is always present to us.

My Job as a therapist is to be your guide and to help you accomplish your goals to live a happier life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have worked for the past 20 years with adults and children with depression, anxiety, and behavioral issues in individual, couples and group settings.

Whether it's your 1st time seeking psychotherapy or your 15th, I'm committed to gaining a deep understanding of you and exploring with you the changes you'd like to make in your life. If you're interested in reducing or eliminating anxiety, panic, depression, the impact of past trauma or some other type of suffering, I will explore with you the underlying reasons for these symptoms and collaborate with you to help you on your way to becoming your best you. I work mostly with individuals who have experienced complex trauma and I help identify and work with dissociation.

My work focuses on implementing a relaxed and collaborative approach to help my clients reach their goals. I believe that all clients are different and therefore require individualized care and we will work together to create a treatment plan that suits your needs.

If you are considering therapy, there is a reason for it, one that you have to trust. Like all relationships, each therapeutic one is different and can help you reach your specific goal, whether that is an improved relationship, working through a difficult past, a recent life transition such as getting married, getting divorced, having a baby, moving, starting a new career, or adjusting to life as a parent of three! Whatever your experience, it is unique and therefore, it is reasonable to assume there may be both barriers as well as exciting, but anxiety provoking situations you come across.

We all face challenges in life. Some challenges motivate us while others may impact our emotions, behaviors and physical health in a way that feels uncomfortable or requires intervention. I specialize in the assessment, diagnosis & treatment of adolescents, adults & their families. Using a collaborative and strength-based approach to therapy, I am able to provide short-term solution focused therapy or longer-term therapy for more complex issues. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental, consistent & authentic relationship to provide support & new skills in your growth & self-discovery process.
