Career Counseling Therapists in Farmington, CT

Are you overwhelmed and exhausted? Have you lost interest in people and activities you used to enjoy? Feeling sad or anxious? Is it difficult to think clearly, make decisions, feel positive about the future? For many stress, depression and panic have become a way of life. Somehow we end up on autopilot, disappointed, nervous and disillusioned, feeling like we have no choice. Work can become more and more demanding but less and less rewarding. Relationships can become strained or unfulfilling. We can feel helpless and hopeless. You are not the only one!

Choices, Change, Life... I can help you get back on the right path to your new future. My clients and I work together to develop a plan that works for their goals. Stress and life management, work and career issues, grief and loss, child and adulthood trauma, anxiety and depression are all strengths of my clinical practice, Advanced Treatment Solutions. My professional training and clinical experience has helped my clients to achieve changes and improve their everyday lives.

If you are facing a challenge, a change or transition, or trying to break free from something in your past causing you pain, I am so glad you are reaching out. With a wide range of experience, I know you will find a safe and collaborative space where we can work together to help you heal & grow in the areas you need. With expertise in multiple methods, I offer a strength based, compassionate, holistic approach w/ a special focus in working with anxiety and stress, and life transitions and challenges including: relationship issues, chronic health, addiction/food related issues, divorce, grief/loss & school/ career related changes.

As a therapist, I enjoy the opportunity to offer a safe space for support towards healing. I work with young adults and adults on issues such as eating disorders, body image, self-esteem, anxiety, perfectionism, stress management and life transitions (starting or ending college, moving, job / career changes, relationship changes etc.) Due to my own experiences as both a performing artist and former college athlete & coach, I especially enjoy working with other artists or athletes and understand the unique challenges that may bring.

If you are ready to change the direction of your life, and overcome obstacles holding you back, you have come to the right place! We have all experienced times in our lives when we would like to free ourselves from old patterns and make a fresh start, but just not quite sure how to break through to that next level. All of us have a tendency to become slaves to our subconscious thoughts holding us back. Hypnosis is a way to befriend your subconscious and have it work with you, rather than against you, to achieve a happy and fulfilling life.

Are you wanting to better understand yourself and how to overcome your painful past? Are you wanting to live your purpose and find fulfilment in your daily life again? Are you struggling to juggle life? Do you often find yourself wanting to have more time for yourself, and still do other areas of your life well? Maybe you are a mother, a couple, or someone in a life transition where you feel you have lost a sense of self?! If this at all sounds like you, it’s time to change this narrative and start giving back to yourself. Together, we'll discover the resources you've had within you all along!

Now accepting new clients for Telehealth (Virtual) sessions and In Person sessions. Hello! My approach is to provide a non-judgmental and caring place to allow you a positive counseling experience. Many people who I treat seek counseling for the first time -- to work through a crisis--to stop the pain--to feel better about themselves. I understand the struggle and the desire to feel and be better. If you are willing to share your story and engage in the process, I look forward to working with you. I have 20 years of experience working with adolescents, college-age students, student athletes and adults in crisis.

Are you searching for relief and healing? I'm passionate about supporting adults through the use of a strengths based approach. Together, we will explore and identify the tools and resources necessary to rise above each challenge you are experiencing. We will work on mutually agreed upon goals, drawing on your personal resources of motivation and hope to create long lasting change. My therapeutic style includes a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and creative arts exercises.

Our lives are composed of many pieces, stages of growth and change. And life happens! How do we gather these experiences and make sense of them among stresses and challenges, confusing times and changing perspectives? By working together in a supportive and collaborative environment, I will help you to discover meanings and solutions to integrate these elements into a satisfying whole. We create many identities along the path to wholeness; I welcome the opportunity to work alongside you.

My work as a psychotherapist is rooted in a profound belief that by recognizing and honoring our complex, messy life stories with honesty and gentleness, we lay the foundation to heal the obstacles preventing us from building fulfilling, meaningful lives. Throughout life, we all create narratives about ourselves to help us survive. These narratives are shaped by myriad factors (individual life experiences, relationships, intergenerational legacies, and experiences of oppression/privilege, belonging/rejection, among others). Over time, our narratives and coping mechanisms fall short. We wonder, what went wrong? What's wrong with me?

During my 20 plus years as a therapist I have enjoyed working clinically with adults, adolescents, children, couples and families. Over the years I have learned that the single most important aspect to productive therapy is having a trusting, empathic connection with your therapist. Additionally, it is important that your therapist is highly skilled, appropriately trained and experienced. Finding the right therapist is very important, therefore I always encourage people to investigate all of their options in order to find that supportive, genuine and safe connection that is right for them. Given that belief, I would be happy to be interviewed by you.

I have had the privilege and the pleasure of working with families,couples and individuals of all ages for more than 25 years, initially as a Registered Nurse and currently as a Marriage and Family Therapist. In my practice I strive to instill hope in all of the individuals I work with, that healing and change can occur. This is done by creating a safe, non-judgmental, warm and supportive environment. I want to offer you the therapy that you deserve, as we work together to help you reach your goals.

*** I currently do not have openings*** Given all that has happened in the past few years, life can feel overwhelming and/or out of control. Psychotherapy can provide you a place to heal, turn your life around, feel more empowered, and to begin to have the life you want. Even the most independent adults need help once in awhile. I will work to help you feel safe and supported. We'll go at a pace that feels comfortable, while selecting the best tools for you. Our work can help you begin to feel calm, relieved, hopeful, and encouraged.

If you feel that parts of your life could be better, then let me show you how to access greater health and well-being. You'll be surprised that in just a few sessions you will feel better, regardless of your current circumstances. There is no reason for you to not experience greater contentment and effectiveness in life, whether you experience anxiety, depression, lack motivation, or feel unworthy.

Within my experience, whether it is individual or couples therapy I am confident to provide a superior level of care and treatment to a wide range of mental health issues. I strongly believe in treating each individual as a whole rather than focusing on specific diagnosis. When working with individuals and couples, the focus is geared towards establishing a positive dynamic along with healthy communication. I specialize in LGBTQ+, Anxiety, Trauma and Life transitions. I primarily use CBT and maintain a rational and humanistic approach towards treatment.

For the past 30 years, my personal quest has been to find the most transformative tools, skills and techniques to create a healthy, joyful and abundant life. Understanding is power. Once you grasp that your personal beliefs create your emotions, and that those emotions cause your behaviors, you’re then in a position to transform your life. Similar to updating a computer's old operating system to gain maximum function, we need to update our old ways of thinking as well. Outdated and negative beliefs can be reframed and replaced with healthy and positive ones.
