Medicare Therapists in Hartford, CT

Therapy is about what works for you. I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental, and confidential space to explore and shift away from maladaptive thoughts and patterns. I work relationally with individuals to foster self satisfaction, further self understanding and appreciation, and restore the self. A comfortable patient and therapist relationship is key to successful and meaningful therapy. I view the client as the expert on his or her own experience. I aim to create a safe space in order to expand awareness of that experience, integrate aspects that may have been excluded from awareness, and integrate new experience and meanings.

Life has many unexpected twists and turns. Although you are doing okay, you recognize that being just “okay” is not good enough anymore. Maybe you are suffering from some childhood wounds that need to be unpacked. Perhaps, you have experienced a bad break up, a recent divorce, job related stress, or anxiety caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Are you a teenager who feels no one understands you, a young adult trying to figure out your next steps in life, a parent in need of some extra support, or a couple at a crossroads in your relationship? Do you want to become the best version of yourself?

Challenging seasons have a way of finding us and suddenly we are walking down a path we never intended to venture. Is it time for an emotional tuneup in an area of your life that you have hoped for years would go away on its own? Perhaps your story includes traumatic memories that shape your current experience, addiction to substances/compulsive behaviors, divorce, regret, or unexpected illness/chronic pain. Whatever your unique story is today, you do not have to travel alone. I also want to assure you that seasons can and do change. Facing your situation in a supported therapeutic environment is one major key to a brighter path.

Congratulations on making the decision to take care of your mental health. In a collaborative manner, we can work on developing healthy coping skills in order for you to become the best version of yourself.
