Anxiety Therapists in Guilford, CT

My treatment approach emphasizes a collaborative process of deep understanding of your personal and unique life journey for the purpose of improving or enhancing your wellbeing.

As an experienced therapist and psychoanalyst with advanced certifications, I work with a wide array of problems and concerns. Special areas of expertise are trauma, anxiety , transitions, and loss.

I believe that each of us already possesses the ability to live a happy and fulfilling life. With greater self-understanding, we can discover and break through barriers that hold us back, find new perspectives, and achieve new goals. I work with people who are experiencing specific challenges--such as trauma or relationship issues--as well as those who suffer from anxiety , depression, feel "stuck in a rut" or are simply interested in exploring new ways to find more fulfillment in their lives. Whatever your goal, we can work together to achieve balance and lasting change.

There are times in everyone's life when we can feel overwhelmed with life's challenges and difficulties.

My clinical practice draws from extensive training in psychotherapy that integrates a psychodynamic perspective with therapeutic interventions that match the unique needs of a client. The range of interpersonal and skill-based interventions includes an understanding of family, culture, and gender specific influences on the current issues or concerns. The use of mindfulness principles and skills provides an added support to clients for strengthening their ability to better manage stress and for overall well-being. In over two decades as a psychotherapist I have consistently found that an integrative approach is most effective for promoting the positive outcomes that my clients are seeking.

How will you know when your life has improved? What will be the signs? How will you be different? Can you envision that difference? With over 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I will use these questions to begin the process of helping you to find new possibilities for fulfillment and relief from emotional pain. I have extensive experience helping adults and adolescents with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and panic disorders, addictions, interpersonal relationship problems, and life transitions. After identifying therapy goals, we'll outline a plan to help you work through your barriers to change.

Life can often feel overwhelming–you’re carrying a lot on your shoulders–and as a result you feel stuck in a rut or routine. Please know that this narrative can change; it’s possible to find peace, and I’m here to help. Our therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of therapy, and so my objective is always to provide a space where folks feel safe and heard and like they can be their authentic selves within a session. I use a warm, validating approach balanced with a directness that is clear and affirming. I’m person-centered and believe that my clients should be co-creators in their own paths to healing.
