Therapists in North Stamford, Stamford, CT

I generally work with adolescents and adults. I have a genuine interest in the world as you understand it. I do not believe in just pathologizing my clients, but rather highlighting their strengths and finding solutions to challenges that they are facing. I strongly believe in therapy and its cumulative effect on the life course and how it can improve your relationships and help find pleasure in life.

Are you tired, stressed, and quick to snap at those around you? Maybe you are feeling unhappy, fatigued and withdrawn? Or perhaps you are eating, drinking, and shopping to numb your emotions, or have an excessive schedule to keep your emotions at bay.

I bridge eastern and western philosophies as they relate to healing the emotions of the mind. It is a blend of empowerment, gratitude and self care that I hope to instill in those with whom I work.
