Therapists in Madison, CT

Who comes to see me? I enjoy working with high-achieving individuals and their families. Some of my practice is spent with boarding school students, college students, medical and law students. I am also devoted to providing care to parents working on being their best in our ever demanding world. My practice can curate the tailored treatment and discretion for individuals as well as their families. In-person sessions are in a single private office with a single waiting room. No need to run into someone when you are trying to focus on you. I personally handle all scheduling, billing and collateral contacts.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and my specialty is figuring out what needs to be done to affect change. I use a variety of techniques to help my clients identify the patterns that are disrupting the quality of their lives. I will work with you to form a therapeutic relationship and will "meet you where you are" emotionally and psychologically. I will help you learn to shift behaviors that are not serving you well, and assist you in achieving your full personal potential.

My approach to psychotherapy is holistic and client centered. My goal is to meet clients where they’re at, work collaboratively, and create a safe space for healing. Therapy is about using human connection to grow, build coping strategies, and ultimately uncover resilience. If you have experienced trauma, a recent loss, struggle with anxiety, or are having relationship issues, I am so glad that you are reaching out for help. Change can happen quickly, especially if you’ve found a therapist that deeply cares and believes in your recovery. You are in the right place!

If you are struggling in life, chances are you have a diagnosis which is termed a psychiatric disorder- but diagnoses only define the negative aspects of who you are! In fact, most "disorders" have a wealth of amazingly positive traits also associated with them. Together, you and I will work to uncover your superpowers- those positive traits that diagnoses don't cover, and which make you amazing. Some of the therapies we incorporate into our practice include art therapy, play therapy, guided visualizations and rituals, narrative therapy, practical life skills (CBT), mindfulness (DBT) and other relaxation techniques.

Even through tragic circumstances, you can experience hope. Cultural experiences, relationships, work, and environment led you to your life today. Your story of pain and growth is necessary to mapping your individual and unique process of healing. I am passionate about helping those grieving loss, adjusting to a transition, foster-parenting, church members & church leadership, military community. I enjoy helping teens and parents of teens, self esteem and assertiveness development, career assessment, relational hardships, and processing issues of the past that are keeping you stuck.

I specialize in working with perinatal women and families. The period of matrescence, when a woman transitions into motherhood, can be a pivotal time in one's life. Motherhood and family life come filled with both incredible joys and tremendous difficulties. Navigating these times of transition with hope, trust, confidence, grace and a regulated nervous system can be a life changing pursuit, and one that all women, mothers and families deserve. Parenting is not without its challenges at any age, but it is possible to foster more peaceful, effective, and joyful family dynamics with the proper support.

Life can be challenging at times. We keep trying and trying, but sometimes, nothing we do seems to create any real change, or if it does, it does not last. After some time, our challenges can cause us to lose faith that it will ever get any better, and the longer the struggle, the harder it can get. It is time to try something different when we get caught up in this cycle. Instead of retreating or repeating, it is time to reach out. You do not have to keep struggling; you can change and heal.

Here you are and you know what needs to change but you are not sure exactly how. You are feeling anger, sadness, hopelessness, frustration intensely. These feelings arenot going away despite talking to friends / family. You feel stuck on a hamster wheel.

Your past memories lead you to panic, feel hopelessness and affect your daily life. You are tired of surviving. You want to THRiVE! Just know that you aren't alone in this!
