Life throws us curveballs each and every day. Sometimes, those very curveballs leave us with feelings and thoughts that are hard to understand, hard to handle or to accept. Our work together will center around getting reacquainted with who you are, understanding your struggles and ultimately encourage healing from life's ups and downs.

In fact, it may be necessary to encounter defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from and how you can still come out of it." - Maya Angelou

Life can feel challenging to navigate sometimes. Together, we can work on managing it. My name is Jennifer and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in the state of CT who works with individuals struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, PTSD, addiction and family conflict.

I specialize in working with people who are struggling with anxiety and depression due to life transitions and family/relationship issues. I also have experience working with clients who are navigating trauma recovery. Something unique about my approach is I am direct and willing to call out negative patterns I notice while still being supportive, non-judgmental and empathic. I am not the type of therapist that will sugar-coat things. I tend to have the most success with clients who are self-reflective and motivated to do the work.

Whether you are unhappy or dissatisfied at work or at home, my treatment approach can provide you with the cognitive and emotional skills to understand your experience so that you can change and improve your life. As a clinical psychologist and family mediator, I have been practicing in Stamford CT and in New York City for the past 30 years. I work primarily with adults, couples, and families in short-term focused psychotherapy as well as in long-term intensive interpersonal treatment.

To help clients successfully manage the difficult challenges of anxiety and depression, I first develop therapeutic relationships characterized by empathy, unconditional emotional support, and authenticity. It is these three fundamental aspects of the therapeutic alliance, more than any specific intervention, that account for successful psychotherapy. Lastly, I am a Board- Certified Clinical Psychologist, a Fellow of the American Academy of Clinical Psychology, and a certified school psychologist. I was educated at Georgia State University (BS), Harvard University (Ed.M.), and the Derner Institute at Adelphi University (Ph.D.).

I believe in the value and beauty of every individual and consider it a privilege to help someone recognize and experience the gifts they have inside. I see asking for help as a positive step, resulting in an opportunity to receive new insights, hope and strength for the tasks at hand. I know that life's lessons are often painful and yet can create the greatest opportunity for growth. Whether you are dealing with chronic mental or physical health problems, stressful life transitions, traumatic events or other life challenges, you can get help and healing.

In my 15 years of practice as a clinical psychologist, I have worked with adults and adolescents, as well as couples and families treating issues of adjustment, self-doubt, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and marital and parenting difficulties. I believe that healthy relationships are at the center of our emotional well-being and that an empathic relationship between client and therapist is essential to any treatment relationship. I provide such an environment so my clients feel comfortable confronting and working through the challenging issues that bring them into therapy.

With over 33 years as a seasoned psychologist, I offer a relaxed, laid-back style that produces real results using a nonjudgmental and caring atmosphere. I provide solution-oriented therapy with useful feedback that addresses issues important to you. This includes help with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, intimacy issues, stress management, grief/loss, codependency, self-esteem and life transitions. Whatever your needs, you will leave our sessions really feeling "understood".

If you are looking for a therapist, you know you want something in your life to be better and you haven't been able to make that happen on your own. You might feel stuck or overwhelmed. It doesn't have to stay that way. By looking for a therapist, you are taking the brave steps to make positive changes for yourself.

I believe that you deserve to live an emotionally fulfilling life that allows you to enjoy the present and look forward to your future. If you are here, you are taking the first step towards building the life that you want. My goal is to help you accomplish the changes that you seek by working with you to heal the pain of the past, learn to manage current difficulties more effectively and create a future that is filled with joy and meaning.

Finding the right therapist for you or your child may feel or actually be hard to navigate, and even anxiety producing for some. So many options and often little guidance on how to find the "right" person. I view therapy as a collaborative, relationship driven experience. I spend time getting to know and understand you and your unique history and experiences. And from there, together, we create a therapeutic space where you can feel at ease and safe to move toward deeper inner wisdom and a better quality of life.

Making the decision to see a therapist can be difficult. As a relationship therapist, Samantha dedicates herself to her clients with complete transparency and authenticity. She works with clients to find their inner strengths and resources to overcome the obstacles that may be keeping them ‘stuck’. Samantha works with clients to ‘zoom out’ and see the big picture: how the relationships in their life, including friends, intimate partners, family members and colleagues, impact the relationships they have with themself.

I love it when people figure out how to feel better. When they master harnessing their emotions, and their lives change and shift in better ways. I get excited when my clients discover that they can master a problem and it encourages them to continue to work on their self growth. And when they recognize that they have capabilities and strengths that they have been overlooking. Then, they see how they can use their strengths to improve their relationships, they recognize and grow their resilience, and they discover that they can solve their own problems almost all of the time.
