Therapists for Teens in East Haven, CT

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.

If someone asks you how you think you’re doing in your life, what would you say? We may see signs that our life has gotten off course. Sometimes, others share their concerns for us, but we believe we can manage it ourselves. I meet each client where they are on their journey. Some have endured a difficult past or ongoing stress. Others have been through a traumatic event such as an accident, or the loss of a loved one through death or a break-up. Often, we don't recognize the impact of emotional toll, disguised as anxiety or other symptoms. My work helps you to connect the dots, providing support as you (re)build your best life.

+ Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, or other symptoms that you think are related to a traumatic incident in your distant or recent past? + If the trauma was extended over time, such as a childhood or adult abusive relationship, do you feel like something is wrong with you, or experience feelings like fatigue, lack of motivation, low self esteem or distance from loved ones? + If you experienced a catastrophic event such as being attacked, being in combat, an accident or natural disaster, do you experience nightmares, flashbacks, or unexplainable symptoms like sudden temper flare ups, bursting into tears, or spacing out?
