Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Guilford, CT

I specialize in working with individuals and couples struggling with anxiety, depression or trauma that often accompanies major life transitions (launching to adulthood, birth of a baby, career shifts, loss of a loved one, loss of a relationship/divorce, health crisis). Life transitions impact our identity, our relationships and our sense of Self, often in ways we don’t expect. If a life event feels overwhelming or is keeping you stuck in patterns of thinking/behaving that no longer serve you, let's talk. EMAIL inquiries are the most efficient way to reach me.

(PLEASE NOTE: My practice is currently full). You're struggling; you aren't feeling like yourself. You'd like to understand your own feelings or those of someone you love. Maybe you feel bogged down; you can't make decisions. Or you're hurting; you've suffered a loss and you don't know how to move forward. Perhaps you'd like to feel more genuine, comfortable, and happy in your close relationships. Or you're always worried; you can't fall asleep because your mind won't stop. You need tools and strategies. I am a seasoned, Yale-trained psychoIogist and I offer compassionate, responsive, effective therapy for people like you.

Hi, and thanks for visiting my profile! I use a cognitive behavioral therapy called acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which includes mindfulness techniques and defining your values. Research shows that ACT is effective for a wide range of client issues. I treat anxiety (including OCD and panic disorder), depression, adjustment issues, difficulty with life transitions, marital issues, career/academic stress, and relationship problems. I also really enjoy assisting with parenting issues, women's issues, and postpartum adjustment. I have a background in child clinical psychology so feel well equipped to help with parenting.

I have been in private practice for 29 years and see clients ages 18 and over. Most people come to me with issues of depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, postpartum difficulties, parenting questions, and overall identity issues and sense of sense.

I am a clinical psychologist working with people of all ages. I specialize in helping children and adolescents who have faced difficult life circumstances, including complications from emergency medical events and pervasive medical diagnoses, as well as those who have experienced various types of abuse. My experience on psychiatric inpatient units allows me to be helpful in navigating mood disorders, dissociation, somatic symptoms, and other intense emotional experiences. My work on medical inpatient floors enables me to support those with eating disorders, traumatic brain injuries, genetic disorders and other medical conditions.

You can change. You can feel better. You can reach your full potential. Our work together serves to help you achieve these goals. I have over 25 years’ experience conducting evaluations, assessment, and therapy and have been licensed as a Psychologist in Connecticut since 2006. My clients include adolescents, children (8+), adults, and seniors. I treat a variety of problems including anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, relationship problems, and life/stage challenges (grief counseling, pregnancy loss/post-abortion counseling, LGBTQ+).

Balance, peacefulness, laughter. Most of us would like to be able to maintain a life filled without stress, great jobs, and healthy relationships. We know that life can be challenging and difficult at times and my concept of therapy is to help people to focus on themselves and learn strategies to find happiness and productivity. One of the most significant aspects of therapy is the therapeutic relationship and people need to feel comfortable, safe, respected and listened to. * I have been a licensed clinical social worker for over twenty years in private practice, schools ,clinics, hospitals and as a coordinator of a family violence program. .

I am a highly trained and experienced clinical social worker whose practice invites individuals, couples & families facing adaptational challenges of all kinds throughout the life cycle: infancy through end-of-life. Working with strength-based developmental treatment models, I find best results are achieved in strong collaboration with individuals (and designated family members), who have the capacity to engage in a meaningful therapeutic relationship, have good family and social supports, and are motivated for change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Dance/Movement Therapist. I specialize in trauma-informed care for children (especially ages birth-6 years old) and adults. My background includes working with children and adults who have experienced various forms of trauma, such as abuse, neglect, loss, and disrupted attachments, as well as supporting children on the autism spectrum. Our outward behaviors and physical manifestations are representative of what we are feeling and thinking. In order to understand the whole person and effect change, I believe it is important to address the underlying reasons for behaviors.

I believe that we all need support, however at times we may need a different type of support than what those close to us can and/or are able to provide. Reaching out and asking for help takes a significant amount of strength and courage, something I not only recognize, but respect in all aspects of my practice. Whether you are going through a difficult life experience or are dealing with something that is more long-standing and chronic, I am committed to working with you to reach your personal goals.

Nautilus Counseling takes its name from the chambered ocean creature. A nautilus builds a new shell chamber for itself when the current one no longer works and is uncomfortable, allowing the nautilus to grow as it should. Discomfort inspires change and growth for the nautilus and for us too. Are you ready for change? If you are, I am excited to support you in making that change. Together, we will look at what in your life is creating discomfort for you, what is contributing to that feeling, and how to help you change and grow towards a place that feels right for you.
