Therapists in Montville, CT

“Everyone deserves a witness to their pain”. That is something I learned years ago and have tried to live by. I am dually licensed in mental health and addictions, having worked in both outpatient and residential care for the past 14years. My therapy style tends to be more eclectic rather than a one size fits all approach. I have found utilizing a strengths based, collaborative approach works well . I am familiar with DBT, CBT, and family systems.

I have been working with grief, both normal and complicated, for nearly 30 years and have specialized training in treating both. For those who are going through a normal albeit difficult time coping with the loss of a loved one, or if you are a caregiver for someone with a stressful illness (e.g., cancer, Alzheimer's), help is here. I also have extensive experience in treating the needs of the LGBTQ community and the issues typical for for these clients. I strongly prefer to meet clients in person due to the type of interventions I utilize that are more effective this way. However, I do have limited availability for TeleHealth.

Are you feeling stuck, defeated, and struggling to manage your or your child's emotions? It can be hard just to make it through the day. I know life is really hard and we are all facing challenging times. Taking that first step to ask for help can be difficult, you are not alone. I think everyone would be surprised at actually how many of us need and can use a little extra support, whether it be for yourself or your child. You don't have to continue to feel this way.

No matter what you are suffering from or want to improve, there are ways to get your brain to function better and give you the life you deserve.

I have a broad range of counseling experience and have worked with many personal, behavioral, and cultural issues over my 20+ year counseling career. I utilize a holistic approach to help you create positive change within your life. We all encounter transitions in our lifetime (e.g., divorce, relationship issues, illness, death of loved ones, occupational conflicts, separation from employment, end of military service, empty nests, etc.), but it is often the way we respond to these challenges more than the actual challenges themselves that impacts our overall physical and emotional health and wellbeing.

Imagine what it might feel like to manage your anxiety, learn effective coping strategies, and to have more peace in your daily life. Anxious thoughts, free floating worry, and depression can impair memory, sleep, and the quality of life.
