Therapists in Granby, CT

I am a licensed therapist who works with adult individuals and couples. I aspire to contribute to the relief of suffering; to help clients move through blocks; and to be increasingly able to handle life's challenges and the impact of negative experiences on daily functioning. I ensure that therapy creates a safe space that fosters trust, privacy, and nonjudgmental acceptance; and I safeguard my clients' well-being by monitoring progress carefully.

Telehealth ONLY.For many, the "golden" years(later middle-age through end of life)are a time full of welcomed change and reflection. Still, medical conditions, relationship changes, and new life circumstances are just a few of the many stressors leaving seniors and caregivers feeling overwhelmed. I have counseled seniors living with dementia, as well as depression and anxiety. I have coached caregivers who find themselves balancing work responsibilities with care needs of children and aging parents. Most of my clients have similar goals: to be happier,improve relationships,and find a better quality of life.

I help people to help themselves by assisting individuals, couples, and families in making decisions and developing skills to enhance their lives. Life is filled with challenges and transitions. Sometimes we need someone who will listen with compassion and help us move from where we are to the next more comfortable resolution. I will be your compassionate witness and confident guide. You will set the goals and I will help you to achieve them. "Every decision you make brings you closer to where you want to go or further away." -Heather Lagace

The most important piece to having a successful therapeutic experience is the therapeutic alliance.
