LIFE IS DIFFICULT, My psychotherapy addresses your problems of living. Problems arise in three general areas: in your relationship; in your career or in job performance; and in the intrapersonal sphere (emotions, dissatisfaction with self). My approach is to engage in problem-solving through full 60-minute sessions across a brief time. When significant relief is achieved, and you are in a more emancipated place, you will be better able to anticipate and attenuate emerging problems, yourself. Should patterns that interfere with your functioning or self-esteem return, booster sessions are a solution. I offer housecalls (home or office).

I am currently accepting clients in my Fairfield location as of July 1, 2022. Searching for a therapist can be an overwhelming task. You may be looking for support for a variety of reasons, either for yourself or for a loved one. Whatever is currently causing you to look for a therapist is important. Whatever your needs might be, I am present with my clients in a open, honest and curious way. My approach to therapy is to be an active, calming and supportive presence as we work together. Together we can explore your inner being and develop insights into where you are in your life right now and where it is you want to go.

Let me guess... On the surface, you’ve got a life that most people dream about. You're running a successful company, doing work that lights you up, surrounded by people who admire you, and you're achieving incredible milestones. But something’s still missing and you've hit a plateau. It's keeping you from your full expansion even though you've tried everything. You know it’s holding you captive. But here’s what you may not know yet… For most of us, it comes from childhood. An unresolved story from the past that’s preventing us from being truly present in our success, experiences, and relationships. And it's not what you think it is.

Are you in a state of emotional distress and looking for relief? Do you have persistent negative thoughts, feelings, or destructive behaviors? Has there been a traumatic event in your life that needs to be addressed? Perhaps you are facing a challenging transition in your life or career. Feelings of sadness, anxiety, and general unhappiness can be successfully treated by talk therapy. I can help you feel better and improve the quality of your life .

I know it's hard to take that first step. I am a strength-based family-systems-trained therapist who believes, "it is never too late to be what you might have been." I believe that who we are both in and out of relationship is not fixed, and that implementing small steps toward change is both do-able and rewarding. My passion for therapy is grounded in the belief that problems and worry held in isolation grow, whereas voicing them aloud in a safe place and working together with a compassionate and skilled therapist can help reduce them to a manageable size.

The evolving challenges of raising children involve the addition of new technology and an ever-increasing pressure to succeed. Keeping on top of these dynamics can at best overwhelm and at worst alienate those in even the most healthy families. Teens pass through a stage of fluctuating hormonal levels, while negotiating burgeoning independence, and navigating the waters of social media along with peer pressure. Meanwhile parents are dealing with keeping a household afloat, managing the family and their careers, while often having aging parents and/or dealing with grief over their loss. When teens and parents need a little help or mental health challenges require more effort for daily living than they should, learning new coping skills with or without medication can make a difference. Discovering what influences behaviors and learning ways to express what needs to be said can empower parents and their children to find more happiness and fulfillment in life . Sorting through these challenges and developing coping techniques that help organize and balance communication is my goal with all families and individuals.

Now accepting clients in CT and NY. I understand the decision to begin therapy can be challenging. If you are feeling "stuck," please know that you are not alone and we can navigate this hard time together. Individuals, couples, or families who choose to engage in therapy, will ultimately be choosing a very effective way of facilitating change for themselves and their important relationships. By working together, I have confidence that we can collaborate to create new experiences, beginnings, and perspectives.
