Sexual Abuse Therapists in Farmington, CT

When you finding yourself stuck, it can be challenging to see all the possibilities we have in our lives. And its all the more difficult if you've experienced trauma or wounding in attachment. Whether you’re experiencing difficulties in your relationships, parenting, excessive stress, or regulating emotions, we can work together to find greater balance and healing. I have a special focus working with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I believe that we are happiest and most fulfilled when we are living in line with our beliefs, are able to manage conflict and stressors, and feel connected to the people we care about.

"You are doing the very best you can!" We enter adulthood with a lifetime of experiences-both positive and negative. Is today feeling like a replay of past trauma, relationships struggling, parenting making you feel like a failure, while the voice in your head says, "I am not enough?" My practice is based on the beliefs, “it is never too late” and “we each have infinite worth.” The quality of our early relationship with our caregivers, repeats without our awareness. Our past need not define our present. You are worthy of finding comfort within a secure, therapeutic relationship. Together we can explore and discover healing.

I offer cognitive-behavioral therapy, IFS, and an integrated approach to help you or your relationship.

Life is full of chaos and uncertainty right now. It may have brought you anxiety, worries, sadness and grief. You may have had to deal with many life changes, ones that you want and ones that you don't want. It makes sense to feel off, overwhelmed, and like you lost your footing. We all need a safe space to process our experience and take a moment to breathe, regroup and learn how to adapt to life’s challenges. Clients come to me to feel seen, heard and sort through what is happening for them. They have overcome challenges in life and now want to find peace and healing. They want to be confident, calm, and true to themselves.

I am a clinical psychologist with expertise in treating addictions, eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, body image issues and difficulties with emotion regulation. I teach skills that increase life satisfaction, happiness, self-confidence, curiosity and gratitude. When life doesn't meet our expectations or painful situations occur, many people become self-critical and fight against emotions such as anger, loneliness, fear or shame. It is this lack of acceptance that increases suffering. Mindfulness and self-compassion involve responding with kindness to our own pain, thereby reducing suffering.

I've been practicing as a psychotherapist for over 30 years. I have been clinical director of mental health facilities and on the faculty of Tufts University School of Medicine. I welcome clients 14 years of age and older -- individuals and couples, and offer you a warm personal approach focusing on your specific needs. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" model of practice or that therapy should be "a way of life." Therapy begins with a careful assessment and plan. If what we are doing isn't working for you, we change it.

With expertise in multiple methods, I offer a strength based, compassionate, holistic approach w/ a special focus in working with anxiety/stress, relationships, life transitions and challenges including: relationships/divorce, addiction/food related issues, chronic health, grief/loss & school/career related changes.

Hello and welcome!! I am a licensed clinical social worker with a passion for helping people who want to better their lives. I have been in practice for over 10 years and use a trauma informed and gender responsive approach to treatment. Together we can explore areas of your life that you feel you value and would like to change for the better.

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!

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?
