Therapists in Hartford, CT

Starting therapy is not easy. But neither is living the life of disappointments and regrets. If you feel you are in a dead end, if your job is boring and ungratifying and the relationships are toxic or lack depth and zest, if you struggle with finding your place in this world or even question whether life is worth living, perhaps it is time to examine your life choices and remove the blocks that hold you from finding meaning, happiness, and purpose. I practice psychotherapy that is informed by the traditions of psychoanalysis and look at each individual in the context of this person's unique experiences and unique life story.

Our mission at the Athlete's Resource is to support athletes in the challenges they face throughout their career. For athletes recovering from sport injury, we collaborate with outside providers (i.e., physical therapists, athletic trainers, etc.) to support and guide athletes through emotional and behavioral aspects of their recovery. We teach athletes skills to increase motivation, concentration, and confidence to optimize their mindset for play. For athletes transitioning out of sport we provide education on what athletes can expect, coping strategies, and a space to process the losses associated with this transition.

Many individuals who may benefit from therapy are feeling emotionally distressed. This could be the result of problems within their relationships, job, academic setting, or due to general life stressors. Yet, many of these individuals are also reluctant to seek treatment due to the various misconceptions about therapy. This is of particular importance to my treatment approach, as I strive to meet each client's distinct needs with the understanding that this endeavor may not have been an easy one.

Clarity and understanding begins with a conversation... It is natural for us all to experience periodic states of self-doubt, confusion, and aimlessness, to feel varying intensities of anxiety, fear, frustration, guilt, sadness, grief, outrage, and often some indescribable feelings. Efforts to ignore or suppress these states over time tends to lead to more discomfort and suffering. When we lose our direction or these feelings become overwhelming, it may be helpful to talk to a therapist.

Everyone goes to therapy for a different reason. Some people just need someone to talk to. Others may be struggling with stress, trauma or difficult life adjustments. I am here to remind you that you don’t have to manage everything alone. I like to view therapy as a form of self care. I feel it is important for my clients to choose how they’d like to spend their time in our sessions. You may be new to therapy or this may be something you're returning to, whatever the reason I am committed to guiding you toward your goals.
