Therapists in Terryville, CT

You are here because you really feel the mental and physical exhaustion from all the things you manage day to day. You want to take on the world each day, yet constantly feel like you dropped the ball and let others down. From managing work-life balance to building healthier relationships, I help clients develop the necessary skills and tools to overcome obstacles and enhance their overall well-being. I believe in empowering individuals to discover their own strengths and inner resources, enabling them to make positive changes in their lives.

Are you struggling with life's challenges? Have you tried coping skills, and thirst for a deeper awareness and understanding of who you are, where you came from, and what makes you tick? If you have experienced some anxiety or depression, then please realize you are not alone, and sharing the burden within the therapeutic context can help make sense of your struggles, and release the weight you have been holding for so long.

What's hindering/anchoring you? Before you answer, pat yourself on the back for seeking help, show yourself compassion for the struggles/challenges you have overcome. You survived, you made it, which is why you are here. You did it, you are worth it, and there is hope. I know this, it doesn't matter if I know you or not, I know you are strong, and I know you matter. Let's work as a team to figure things out.

If you are facing a challenge, a change or transition, or trying to break free from something in your past causing you pain, I am so glad you are reaching out. With a wide range of experience, I know you will find a safe and collaborative space where we can work together to help you heal & grow in the areas you need. With expertise in multiple methods, I offer a strength based, compassionate, holistic approach w/ a special focus in working with anxiety/stress, relationships, life transitions and challenges including: relationships/divorce, addiction/food related issues, chronic health, grief/loss & school/career related changes.

My ideal client is someone who is motivated for the change to feel like their best selves which often means, feeling painful emotions too; it is through the feeling of our emotions that we free ourselves from our pain. Perhaps you have been struggling to get out of bed in the morning, or to leave your house due to crippling anxiety; maybe you are tired of judging yourself and are ready to live the life you're truly capable of. Maybe you are navigating relationship issues and are seeking more harmony in your relationships, I'm here to help. My ideal client is open-minded to connect to their body while accessing their emotions.

I am enlivened by guiding others on their journey to greater peace and joy in this world where it is easy to be bogged down by suffering and negative energy. As isolation grows, communication and relationships suffer. We and our children become anxious, depressed, turn to negative coping methods whether it is unhealthy relationships, substances, food, excessive exercise, overworking, or a myriad of other behaviors to not have to feel our feelings. What if we make the changes that need to be made. Accept the things that cannot be changed and find peace in the process.

Therapy has the potential to initiate a profound shift in your life. Showing up is the first step, even if you do not know where to begin. Whether you wish to understand how your past influences your present, need help navigating stressors, or already possess insights you would like to further explore, I would love to be your teammate on your journey of growth and self-discovery. Having worked with diverse populations with a wide array of challenges, I have developed a comprehensive toolkit of skills, modalities, and wisdom that will effectively facilitate the change you desire.

My coaching approach is centered around outcomes. I work closely with you to identify your goals and aspirations, and together, we develop a strategic roadmap to help you achieve them. Rather than offering prescriptive solutions, I believe in the power of coaching inquiries, guiding you to find your own answers and insights. Through thought-provoking questions and deep exploration, I help you gain clarity to tap into your inner wisdom.

Therapy is going to the gym for your emotional and relational well-being, so I give you a ton of credit for being here, exploring how to get in shape! Throughout my work, I have developed a style that is warm, direct, and actively challenges you to evolve. I have a tremendous working knowledge of evidence-based models, including CBT, DBT, MST, and ACT, as well as psychodynamic theory and the Gottman Method. My commitment to staying updated on current research and utilizing evidence-based models is a testament to my resolve to deliver therapy that actually works to help you meet your goals and experience relief.

Hello and welcome to my practice. Asking for help is not easy, so I am so glad you are here! Therapists are not a one size fits all and finding the right fit for you, your family, and/or your child is so important for therapy to be successful. My approach with clients is always collaborative, genuine and warm, and I use both empathy and humor. I am client-centered, strengths based, and solutions focused. I utilize multiple therapeutic modalities to correspond with the needs of each individual client, meeting them where they are at.

Searching for a therapist can be overwhelming: scrolling through endless photos, personal statements, and credentials hoping to find someone with the perfect combination of traits to help you or your child. I don’t know if that perfect match exists, but I do believe the most important factor in therapy is the trusting relationship formed between the therapist and the client. I pride myself on my ability to connect with clients who haven’t clicked with therapists in the past, and for easing first-time clients into the process. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space, an open mind, a sense of humor, and a deep well of patience.

As a licensed psychologist, I can help you navigate life transitions as a young professional or college student, find relief from anxiety, OCD, or an eating disorder, heal from past trauma, address relationship concerns, or resolve burnout from work stress. I will create a space for you where you will learn how to form a more compassionate and nurturing connection to yourself that is self-healing. I aim to help you decrease your shame, doubt, or guilt and replace those feelings with more empathy and self compassion, all within a safe and nonjudgmental space.

Deciding to start therapy can be intimidating, but it also shows courage. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I understand the difficulty of wanting to change aspects of your life, but not knowing how. If you are suffering from anxiety, depression, difficulties in a relationship, or aren't quite sure what the problem is, l will help you learn skills that will help you become happier and more comfortable. In session, I am supportive and empathic, but provide honest feedback and conduct check-ins to ensure that our work is on track. I also use humor to promote rapport, reduce anxiety, and help reframe perspectives.

Welcome and I'm glad you stopped by! I've been a practicing counselor for the past 17 years and I am passionate about my role in supporting clients to improve emotional comfort. I work with teens through seniors and specialize in helping clients manage stress, anxiety and depression, as well as navigating through life transitions. Are you an empty-nester adjusting to a quieter life? Are you a recent graduate starting a career, feeling a little lost? Do you feel stressed or anxious frequently?

I am a Clinical Psychologist who has been in practice for 20 years. I provide therapy as well as psychological and neuropsychological testing. I aim to help people find measurable and meaningful results and powerful new insights. I use an integrative approach that borrows from many of the most powerful theories of change, including newer advances in my field and tried and true methods. Therapy results should bring clarity, meaning, and obvious and deep improvements. I look forward to talking with you about your unique goals for therapy and how we might work together.

Every person has unique circumstances and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to delivering the best possible care. Therefore, I take a truly collaborative approach with my clients at all steps of the therapy lifecycle. From defining the issues to creating a plan to address them, to establishing criteria to measure progress, and monitoring the progress, our sessions will address your situation with the uniqueness it deserves. I know that change doesn’t happen overnight nor is it easy, and I take great pride in seeing that the hard work my clients put in yields long-term, positive impacts.

We'll explore your unique strengths and traits, and how they will support you to become the next version of yourself. We'll look with compassion to find stuck patterns and knowledge gaps that have kept you from getting there. I'm an LGBTQ+ ally, and I specialize in life transitions and wellness, "high energy" symptoms as in ADD/ADHD, anger management, stress management, anxiety, obsessive thinking, and compulsive behaviors, from adolescents and older. I also work with couples around communication, trust, and connection; and perinatal & motherhood experiences.
