Therapists in Fairfield County, CT

I am committed to, and passionate about, working with the complex issues of Families, Couples and Individuals as we walk through the process of change together. I have expanded into Coaching Executives and Small Businesses. facilitating effective communication and relationship dynamics for companies is quite similar to working with families. I have a vast amount of experience working with Children, Adolescents, and their families as they struggle with the challenges of coping with Divorce, Parent/Child Conflict, Trauma, Grief, as well as the natural challenges of each of the developmental stages of childhood. Located on the Border of Old Greenwich

I work differently - I provide direct feedback, strategies, and exclusively work with couples and co-parents. In-person sessions are preferred. I am a Couples Therapist, Affair Recovery Specialist, Certified Sex Therapist, Co-Parenting Counselor, Certified Discernment Counselor, Healing Separation Counselor, and Non-Adversarial Divorce Support provider. My training includes: Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, The Doherty Approach, The Connecticut Council for Non-Adversarial Divorce (CCND), and I am certified by AASECT. I train with the best in the field and am committed to continuous learning!

For most clients, my therapeutic philosophy is "less is more." In my work with adults and children, my goal is to help clients get back on their feet as quickly as possible, and then be available when they want to "check in." In my previous career, I worked for a Boston-based asset management firm. That experience helps me appreciate the uniqueness of women making life transitions, and relate to men who typically would "never go to therapy."

Have past therapies not worked and are you back to dealing with the same patterns that cause you to feel disconnected? Using the modalities of Relational Life Therapy and the Enneagram, a typology tool, I help you deal with those parts of you that don't want to do the skills you have learned in other therapies. My approach is compassionate and honest with the intention of helping you become mindfully aware of that which keeps you stuck and frustrated in order to guide you towards improved self-awareness and a more fulfilling life of connection, understanding, and love.

Are you seeking resilience in uncertain times? My approach to therapy combines psychodynamic training with CBT, finding practical solutions to problems. This means that you and I will work together to find both the "why" of what you bring to therapy (childhood development, history, and social context) and the "what" (how to change what you want to change). I tend to work with high achievers who feel there is something lacking in their personal lives and relationships. I work with adults, as well as adolescents in high school or college/graduate school. I see both individuals and couples who want to make meaningful changes.

Our therapeutic approach at Strategic Solutions utilizes a brief, problem solving model that focuses on understanding and treating problems within their intimate context. The goal of therapy is to resolve the presenting problem while fostering supportive, functional relationships. Family problems are embedded in relationship patterns, which can become unproductive and perpetuate, rather than solve problems. Our approach is strength-based and outcome oriented. The focus of therapy is understanding the client's goals for change and then working together to solve those problems directly.

Taking the first step can be difficult but finding the right therapist can make all the difference. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, marital or relationship issues, I can help. My approach to therapy focuses on you and the changes you wish to make in your life. My goal isn't to keep you in therapy forever, it's to help you find solutions so you can enjoy life once again. Together you and I will target problem areas utilizing your strengths to resolve challenges, find solutions and develop closer more intimate relationships.

It takes a great deal of courage to seek help and doing so is the first step toward change. Life can be difficult and sometimes we need support adjusting to it's challenges. You may be feeling stuck or constantly on edge and overwhelmed by worry and that unrelenting self critic. You are not your best self but the thought of change can be terrifying. Whether you are confronting relationship issues, divorce, life transitions, anxiety, trauma, or grief and loss, my goal is to provide you with a genuine and supportive therapeutic relationship where you can grow, heal, and thrive. Change is possible and I am here to help.

I am a firm believer that no matter the struggle, all people have the ability and the right to heal. It is important to get messy, to spend time talking it out, to tap into everything that is being buried within; perhaps somewhere unclaimed. Over time, the therapeutic journey can lead to a place of letting go and clearing space inside for forgiveness and empathy. When one creates space for growth, of both the past and the present, you can regain a balance and a sense of being grounded.

I am an experienced clinician treating clients who present with issues of life adjustment, grief and loss, domestic violence and substance abuse; I approach clients with unconditional positive regard based on the premise that most people are capable of change provided that they are given an atmosphere conducive to change

Starting therapy can feel very uncomfortable and stressful. It's a big step, but it's an important step.

With oneself as well as intimate relationships and family. I am a Solution Focused Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
