Therapists in Stamford, CT

Therapy is about accepting who you are, while also exploring the ways you can grow. I’m here to assist you in processing conflicts and experiences, and working on ways to help you cope and move forward. I use art therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness-based stress reduction to support introspection and healing. Art therapy can help you access and harness your strengths for healthy change, but you get to decide how much art making you want to integrate. If you haven’t made art since second grade - no worries! No artistic experience is necessary to benefit.

Navigating life’s challenges is no easy pursuit. At times we don’t feel we have the skills or resources to cope successfully, especially without support. My clients are individuals, couples and families seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, trauma as well as relationship challenges and difficulty associated with life transitions, communication struggles, (co)parenting skills. As a relational therapist I believe that every person, and relationship, has the potential for growth and positive change and I want you to feel empowered to take the steps toward the life you want to be living.

Accepting new clients, Immediate openings! What does finding "The right fit" mean to you? If therapy is going to work, it has to be with the right person. It's not easy finding the right therapist. If you find yourself struggling and are looking to reach out for help, please give yourself credit for taking this step! As your therapist, I know YOU are the expert. My goal would be to help you find that fire and drive within yourself!

Therapy is a creative process that could provide new perspectives to expand our sense of being in a safe and collaborative relationship. I work with adult individuals, couples, families, adolescents and kids. I enjoy working with international individuals and families. A particular interest of mine are issues of cultural identity and ways in which culture inflects the experience of selfhood.

Even when everything's going great, kids can be exhausting. But when your child's continually melting down or you are more often than not feeling unsure of how to parent, exhausting barely begins to describe it. Drained, depleted is more like it. You know your child is struggling with something. Whether it's from worry, family changes, friend trouble, following the rules, intense anger, big emotions, or sullenness, but you're not sure how to help. That's when it makes sense to reach out for additional support. Together, we can create a positive trajectory for long-term well-being and happiness for your family.

Are you ready to grow into your most authentic self? It takes great courage and strength to ask for help, however the rewards of doing so can lead to a lifetime of fulfillment.
