ConnectiCare Therapists in South Windsor, CT

I understand the unique challenges we sometimes face as we encounter relational issues, loss, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I will guide you through the storms, support you when you are falling apart, and challenge you when it’s time to take a step forward. Instead of pushing away from the “hard things”, it is important to put in the hard work, grow, and thrive in life. I specialize in Advanced EMDR, neuropsychotherapy, anxiety, ADHD and sleep. It's my honor to be part of your healing journey. I use a variety of approaches and techniques to teach you new skills, build resilience, and facilitate connection

Sometimes in life we can feel stuck in habituated patterns that may have been useful to us at one time, but that we’ve long since outgrown. I help you find liberation from struggles with low self worth, stress, overwhelm, anxiety, depression, and PTSD by identifying and addressing the roots of these symptoms - ensuring effective and lasting change. My work is to hold space for you to begin to explore your own internal world and experience more of yourself while releasing emotional pain rooted in the past. Everything you need to heal already exists within you, it’s simply about accessing this innate healing capacity.

Hello, and nice to meet you! I'm so glad you're here. Therapy should be a place where you feel accepted, comfortable, and safe. I work with folks from all walks of life who are looking to build real, meaningful relationships with themselves and others. My clients tend to struggle with anxiety, stress, people-pleasing, self-worth, perfectionism, and interpersonal relationships. You may avoid showing your true self to other people in your life - because what if something bad happens? If you find yourself struggling to carry the weight of these expectations, you’re in the right place.

With well over 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in a variety of settings, I bring warmth, experience and expertise into the therapeutic relationship. We tend to come to therapy when we want to make a change or feel conflict in our lives. How we operate no longer works. Something's missing or something feels wrong. This may manifest as anxiety, discomfort or sadness. I believe we all have the capacity to heal, to learn new ways of dealing with our past wounds and present circumstances. Often from trauma stems growth and strength.

Whatever your reason is for deciding to seek therapy, I believe it is important to find a therapist that makes you feel valued, safe and understood. My goal as a therapist is to work in a supportive partnership with you to restore emotional well-being, build strengths and help you reach your full potential. I will work carefully and conscientiously to create a therapeutic experience that allows self-discovery, healing and growth to occur.

When you encounter difficulties in your relationships, be it with your partner, family, friends or coworkers, I can help. If you're feeling worried, sad, frustrated, or hopeless about a relationship in your life you should give me a call.
