Therapists in Downtown, New Haven, CT

As a therapist, I take pleasure in using a humanistic approach to help individuals develop and gain the insight needed to explore how past, and present experiences impact their ability to manage life's daily stressors.

We all experience moments in life that leave us feeling anxious, hurt, angry or lost. To avoid burdening others, we might put on a brave face and try to hide our pain. But the weight of our troubles can be exhausting to manage alone. My goal is to create a space just for you, where you can feel supported, and heard. Whether you are a young child struggling with behavioral issues, an overwhelmed or burned-out parent, a couple struggling to communicate, or an individual seeking meaning and purpose; I offer this space to you.

My clients ranging in age from child to adult are referred for mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, poor self esteem, bullying, racial, family conflicts and histories of sexual, emotional and physical abuse and other forms of trauma. They are encouraged to work on relationship, educational and professional struggles. They are referred due to behavioral and academic problems in school. They are encouraged to explore their sexual identities. They are referred for counseling due to loss of a loved one through natural death or violence.

Deciding to engage in therapy is an exercise in confidence and vulnerability. Working with me will be a collaboration based on a trusting, authentic and genuine relationship. My aim is to understand my clients as individuals in all their complexity as well as the social and cultural context they are embedded in. I will leverage my training and skills for the benefit of each particular individual.

For over 25 years, I have been working directly with persons with mood disorders, substance use, trauma and managing life's stressors. I practice a holistic approach which is strength based, solution focused and psychodynamic. I specialize in mindfulness based practices, cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. Beginning with our own awareness can allow us to slow down, notice, and change unhealthy patterns. These strategies are essential in transitioning from feeling unsettled towards being able to ride waves of challenge with ease and intention.

Therapy is an ongoing conversation that can be scary to get started. Just looking at therapist profiles means you’ve made the first step toward entering the conversation. Could I be the right fit for you? As a practitioner I create a safe space for all people and will meet you where you are at. My style is nonjudgmental, honest, expressive, direct, at times humorous, and always compassionate, even when I gently encourage the discovery of new realizations. You are whole and complete and have all the answers inside of you. Together we will find ways to access those answers by developing new skills and building on your strengths.
