Psychodynamic Therapists in Guilford, CT

Feeling emotionally exhausted? Tried talking to friends and family and still feel unable to be understood? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Sometimes people just need an outlet to vent out things. Necesitas hablar con alguien que hable tu idioma y entienda tu cultura? I provide individual interventions integrating various approaches such as: Psychodynamic , CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Interpersonal brief interventions, Guided Imagery, and problem solving strategies among others.

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.

Currently my work is focussed on helping clients use the unique opportunity of psychotherapy to explore and understand feelings, thoughts and behaviors that contribute to some difficulties they might be having. Goals can be to learn about oneself, and find self acceptance, provide emotional relief, make and sustain satisfying relationships and make good choices going forward. Choosing to begin psychotherapy is an important decision and it is essential to find a good match between client and therapist so I encourage people to make an initial appointment to see whether we should take this journey together.

I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience in clinical practice. I use a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and insight-oriented psychodynamic approaches, in order to facilitate both understanding and resolution of challenges and difficulties. I strive to create a reflective, interactive, collaborative therapeutic relationship. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, eating disorders, relationship problems, adolescent and adult development, and work-life balance.

Working from a positive, whole-person perspective that is grounded in a psychodynamic and relational approach, I work with clients to navigate, understand, and resolve experiences of distress, relational challenges, life transitions, and health difficulties. As a Clinical Health Psychologist with an Integrative Medicine background, I have had the honor of helping people address and overcome a wide variety of challenges for over 20 years. My areas of expertise include coping with major life-adjustments, health conditions and cancer, significant stress/burn-out, relationship and parenting challenges, grief/loss, and work-life balance.

I have been in private practice for over 22 years throughout which time I have treated adults and couples struggling with a wide variety of issues, with a specialization in substance abuse and dual diagnosis treatment. I approach my work from a psychodynamic perspecitve, yet I appreciate the uniqueness of each individual and maintain flexibility in tailoring my interventions to meet your specific concerns. I aim to work collaboratively and compassionately with you to gain insight and work through the obstacles that interfere with your overall well-being.

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.

What if you could "end" your marriage as it is... but create a new one, with each other? Maybe you’ve been putting off therapy for a while, or perhaps you’ve tried it in the past, only to find the same issues resurfacing a few months later. I don’t blame you – this is hard work. Traditional couples and family therapy can take years, but you need help NOW. With over 25 years of experience, I help couples and families quickly identify the root causes of their issues so that they can move forward with confidence and change their lives – now, and for good. My goal: to get you off the couch and back to your life as quickly as possible.

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.
