We all know life can be tough, and this is especially true for adolescents and young adults in our increasingly turbulent world.

After working with people on the Connecticut shoreline for over thirty years in private practice, I moved my practice to my home in North Branford. I specialize in working with people who are having relationship difficulties, including divorce and remarriage issues. My experience has taught me that it is not helpful to try to fit clients into a particular theory or therapeutic technique; however I rely heavily upon Relational Life Therapy (Real) and Compassionate Inquiry (Mate). Since every client and couple are unique, we need to understand why they are stuck and what is standing in the way of their getting on with their lives.

We serve children, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families. Whether they are just starting out in life, or well established, our clients want more from life. More happiness, more love, more freedom to be the best person they can be. We help our clients accomplish this by changing unwanted behaviors and healing painful emotions from life's unexpected crises, or wounds from the past. Our psychotherapy is strength-based, solution-focused and psychodynamic.

I provide hybrid clinical therapy and telehealth services to individual and families seeking mental health support in a safe clinical environment. I believe that everyone needs support throughout their life span in order to be best version of themselves.
