Female Therapists in Essex, CT

My therapy is based on a solution focused brief therapy model that assists in identifying unique strengths then utilizing these resources to support recovery and growth. I am licensed both in Connecticut and in North Carolina, providing services in both states. I have over 20 years working in the counseling/therapy field. My background includes a Masters Degree in Education and Counseling with extensive experiences with children, adolescents, adults and families. I am also experienced in identifying and treating substance abuse issues. I provide counseling via internet only via Doxy.me.

I look forward to assisting you through the challenges of life and creating a happier and more empowered tomorrow. I often tell clients we all have 'junk in the trunk', it's often the junk we have not dealt with or avoid that sneaks up on us when we least expect it. It complicates this already complicated thing call 'life'. Let me help you unpack the junk, explore its impact on you and how its impact continues to effect you. Through supportive counseling you can take back the reigns and create positive change.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who provides counseling and psychotherapy to people dealing with a wide-range of personal concerns across the lifespan. I work with young and older adults with depression/anxiety, codependency, family concerns, grief and loss and specialize in later life issues including: dementia, Alzheimer's and eldercare stress. I have a nonjudgemental and empathic approach that promotes healing, restoration, growth, and self-awareness.

The choice to begin therapy is often laden with emotions and questions. From this initial decision process to later stages, I bring warmth and a strong skill set to every person and couple I treat. Together, we focus on connecting current problems to old patterns, finding meaning in symptoms and identifying realistic approaches to change. The approach I use is highly collaborative and will be tailored to suit your needs.

Children, teens, and young adults often need support as they navigate life's challenges and adversaries. Maybe there is a recent move, a divorce in the family, problems at school, or struggles with peers that are impacting you or your child. Concerns about anxiety, ADHD, body image, depression, or trauma may be apparent. With the growing use of social media, your child may also spend an extensive amount of time in front of a screen. In today's world, it is easy for a child to feel isolated and defeated. Counseling is the first step to process heavy emotions, heal inner wounds, reconnect with your inner self, and reclaim one's power.

I am a clinician in both Connecticut and New York. I had extensive clinical experience working as a court appointed Guardian ad Litem, previously working in Therapeutic Foster Care and as a Psychotherapist. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Political Science from Central Connecticut State University and earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Saint Joseph. I have worked in various professional settings through direct practice and in social advocacy. I have worked alongside state non-profits in child welfare, as well as school base counseling and outpatient clinics.

Life is full of change and the unexpected. Have you been blindsided by one of the many curveballs life can throw at you? Do you feel overwhelmed, lost, or directionless? Realigning after a huge change- be it the loss of a loved one, separation/divorce, job change, health shift, or even college graduation- can be a challenging process. I love to help people adjust, grow, and transform though these shifts, seeing the forest through the trees to come to a fuller, more centered perspective on all that life still has to offer. Finding our way back to peace can be demanding and we could all use some support in this process.

Finding a new therapist can be hard. I believe that the most important part of therapy is having the right fit with the right therapist. In order to be open to the process you have to feel comfortable with your provider. Therapy should be a tool to find personal strengths and develop new resources. Therapy is a good place to start looking at where you might be stuck and searching for new strategies to add to your life. I hope that I can be a part of your journey.
