Therapists in Farmington, CT

Hello and welcome!! I am a licensed clinical social worker with a passion for helping people who want to better their lives. I have been in practice for over 10 years and use a trauma informed and gender responsive approach to treatment. Together we can explore areas of your life that you feel you value and would like to change for the better.

I've been practicing as a psychotherapist for over 30 years. I have been clinical director of mental health facilities and on the faculty of Tufts University School of Medicine. I welcome clients 14 years of age and older -- individuals and couples, and offer you a warm personal approach focusing on your specific needs. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" model of practice or that therapy should be "a way of life." Therapy begins with a careful assessment and plan. If what we are doing isn't working for you, we change it.

I have a passion for working with those who are motivated to make change and create their best versions of themselves. I work with adolescents and adults who are dealing with issues in their lives around anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma. I am committed to creating a space with you where you feel safe to be able to explore all parts of you, improve your relationships with others in your life, and create your best self!

I am a clinical psychologist with expertise in treating addictions, eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, body image issues and difficulties with emotion regulation. I teach skills that increase life satisfaction, happiness, self-confidence, curiosity and gratitude. When life doesn't meet our expectations or painful situations occur, many people become self-critical and fight against emotions such as anger, loneliness, fear or shame. It is this lack of acceptance that increases suffering. Mindfulness and self-compassion involve responding with kindness to our own pain, thereby reducing suffering.

We help sensitive individuals find harmony with their emotions. We ensure that clients who would typically slip through the cracks in therapy are seen, supported and have the skills they need to create meaningful change in their lives. During individual DBT therapy sessions, the therapist pays close attention to your behaviors looking for motivational concerns, including personal and environmental factors that inhibit effective behaviors (the things you want to do more) and that elicit and reinforce maladaptive behaviors (the things you want to do less).

There are events that immobilize us to the point of negatively impacting ourselves and our relationships. It could be a traumatic event or negative self-perspective. My role as your therapist is to help you navigate these roadblocks by giving you the tools to find a balance between these events and your emotions, to stay mindful and to understand how your environment impacts us, to understand your past and how it relates to your physical and mental being. I am your guide in a journey which can ultimately lead you to finding peace through understanding and acceptance.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and certified mindfulness teacher. I completed my M.S. and Ph.D. at the University of Miami, my predoctoral clinical internship at the Yale University School of Medicine and my postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School/VA Boston Healthcare System.

For the past 30 years, my personal quest has been to find the most transformative tools, skills and techniques to create a healthy, joyful and abundant life. Understanding is power. Once you grasp that your personal beliefs create your emotions, and that those emotions cause your behaviors, you’re then in a position to transform your life. Similar to updating a computer's old operating system to gain maximum function, we need to update our old ways of thinking as well. Outdated and negative beliefs can be reframed and replaced with healthy and positive ones.
