Family Therapy in Hartford, CT

Life presents each of us with challenges that sometimes seem overwhelming. Relationship conflicts, family and work stress, parental concerns, separation and divorce, health worries, the grief of loss, spiritual crises--all these hardships can bring anxiety, depression, anger and sadness in their wake. One can feel out of control using old coping mechanisms and strategies that don't work anymore. It's then that you will need the kind of support and guidance I offer to help strengthen your untapped natural ability to mindfully navigate through these and many other life stresses.

I take an active approach in working with my clients to develop effective coping skills to face life's challenges. I use a cognitive approach to help clients learn how their thinking adds to their distress and how to assess their concerns in more empowering ways. My training is in marriage and family therapy so whether I am working with one person or a number of family members, I help my clients understand how changes in how the family operates can greatly reduce stress. I have a particular interest in and continue training in mindfulness based stress reduction.
