Therapists in New Haven County, CT

Hello! So glad that you've come to my profile. My ideal patient is readily looking to change. They've recognized that they want something different. They might be feeling unheard, unimportant, or lost. They may think poorly of themselves. They might even feel hopeless and like this is their last-ditch effort, but part of them still believes there is more. Part of them believes that they deserve something better and they are willing to fight for that better future they deserve. They are willing to stretch themselves, to be uncomfortable, and to do the hard work it takes to change. I want to help them do so.

I provide individual psychotherapy to clients in CT and NY. Sometimes our most debilitating problems can be solved by learning what to do differently and developing the capacity to do it. There are also times when we already know what changes we should make, but we feel blocked from making those changes. We feel compelled to repeat the same broken patterns of behavior despite our best intentions. When this is the problem, psychotherapy becomes a process of uncovering our unique reasons for being stuck. By bringing these blind spots into view, psychotherapy can help us address our anxiety about change and enhance our motivation.

As a licensed professional counselor, I aim to help you clarify and create a plan to reach your goals. Life can be overwhelming and difficult at times. Seeking out therapy is a wonderful way to find the support you deserve. Some of my professional interest and experience is in working with adolescents and adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, OCD, and depression.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** Life is challenging, and sometimes those challenges can feel like too much to overcome alone. Inspire Recovery clinicians work with individuals to explore what obstacles they face to live their best life. We want to help you focus on the strengths you have, find the positivity in your life, and lead you on the path to happiness. We will work with you to define goals, cope with traumas, and support you through recovery and beyond. If you are struggling with your sobriety, emotional wellness or just need someone to talk to and help you through a difficult life transition, we are here to help.

My approach to counseling is to create a safe space for people to discuss their challenges and move toward a brighter future. I practice from the perspective of recognizing each person’s individual strengths and unique gifts as I assist them with processing feelings and recognizing thought patterns which may be hindering their ability to live their best life.

You may feel like you’ve tried everything in your power to cope with the full spectrum of stressors that life has thrown at you - but it just isn’t working. Perhaps managing your emotions has become overwhelming. You might be struggling with feelings of incompetence, worthlessness, and guilt. You may find that your mind is consumed by "what-ifs." Maybe you're going through a major life change, a significant loss, or a spiritual crisis. Do any of these scenarios resonate with you?

Welcome! We provide psychotherapy to clients from NJ, MA, CT, and NY. Our clients come from diverse background with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, anger management, parenting problems, career challenges, self-esteem/confidence issues, intellectual/developmental disabilities, Asperger/autism spectrum disorder, attention deficient, Trauma/PTSD, oppositional behaviors, and immigration/acculturation/adjustment issues.

I believe we are all born with beauty, grace, and a unique identity that, when nurtured and loved, has a chance to grow. For many of us, growing up was harsh and even traumatic, and we naturally formed a blueprint for how to live and survive. As life goes on, that blueprint can feel constraining, and our unhealed core experiences may leave us with pain and shame. Sometimes life brings difficult crossroads and transitions with shock, pain, and loss. At other times, we may feel confused and disconnected from our best selves and experience our lives and feelings through a muted lens. Peace, balance, love, and joy seem out of reach.

Life can throw a lot at you, many things of which we are not prepared for. You can appear like you’ve got it together. Presenting as focused and on top of things. But on the inside you feel like an impostor. Struggling to get through the day without falling apart at every turn. Like me, at times do you wonder how much longer you can keep this up? As a wife and mother myself I find it can be beyond difficult at times. Add in loss, or grief, is like adding an elephant on your back. Relationships, parenting, everyday expectations like meal prep, and cleaning, careers, it all takes a piece of you and where do you find self care?

Do you struggle with negative feelings about yourself? Or frequently compare yourself to others, always feeling less than? Or feel overwhelmed easily, flooded with constant worries that you can't rid your mind of? Do you find yourself in chronic cycles of addictive behavior (overeating, binging & purging, overusing alcohol or drugs, overspending. etc.) followed by feelings of guilt, shame, and depression? Are you always talking to yourself with "shoulds" or "what ifs"? Do you have low interest/motivation and find yourself avoiding responsibilities, self care or tasks that would actually make you feel good about yourself? I can help you!
