"My experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples over the past 30 years has demonstrated that no challenge is impossible, no situation hopeless. I see people dealing with issues typical of their phase of life, their relationships, their families, their use of substances, and/or mental illness ranging from the mild to the severe. Because I see people of all ages, with all kinds of reasons for coming to see me, I'm best thought of as a general practitioner."

"We serve children, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families. Whether they are just starting out in life, or well established, our clients want more from life. More happiness, more love, more freedom to be the best person they can be.

Our psychotherapy is strength-based, solution-focused and psychodynamic."

"After working with people on the Connecticut shoreline for over thirty years in private practice, I have recently moved my practice to my home in North Branford. I specialize in working with people who are having relationship difficulties, including divorce and remarriage issues. My experience has taught me that it is not helpful to try to fit clients into a particular theory or therapeutic technique. Since every client and couple are unique, we need to understand why they are stuck and what is standing in the way of their getting on with their lives/"

" Do you or someone you love feel anxious, depressed or like something is just not working? Has a loved one asked you to see a counselor? Have people in your life asked you to cut down or stop using substances? Has a medical professional told you or someone you care about that you/they should stop drinking or using drugs? Addiction and mental health issues are sometimes misunderstood and painful for the people in our lives and they are difficult for those who are going through it. Sometimes it's hard to navigate them alone in early recovery. Recovery is sometimes difficult to navigate on your own. I would like to help you. "

"I have been developing my skills as a practicing psychotherapist in the New Haven area for over thirty years. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, dynamic, and practical, inspired by my use of clinical hypnosis as an agent for positive change. My primary interest is in helping people to help themselves by releasing and reinforcing emotional resources previously unrecognized and unused. Imaging issues creatively and incisively can generate the emotional strength and confidence to deal with problems, even those seemingly insurmountable. Much of the enthusiam for my work has been derived from my connection with the Yale University School of Medicine."

Together, we will pinpoint unhelpful patterns so you can make room for growth and change. Whether you need to vent or prefer a more direct approach, my goal is to meet you where your at."

"I believe that the more you put into therapy, the more you get out of it. Therapy is not solely a place to vent, but an avenue to strategize real behavioral changes to improve your life and relationships. By making a conscious effort to implement those changes outside of the therapy office and taking responsibility for yourself, you are most likely to benefit from treatment. I am a masters-level, Connecticut-licensed clinician with over 20 years of experience in outpatient and residential treatment. I am a Clinical Member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) and an Approved Clinical Supervisor."

"I work with children between the ages of 4 and 18 and use a variety of approaches to address issues of anxiety, depression, divorce, alcoholism/drug abuse, peer relationships, and foster care/adoption.

"My ideal patient has recognized that they are not living the life they want and that they want a change. They are willing to begin to open up and attempt to be vulnerable, even if it is slowly. My approach to treatment is warm, relaxed and person-centered. I am very patient and work to meet patients where they are at in their journey, not where they, "should be". I strive to treat my patients with compassion and acceptance. I value each person as an expert in their own life. Each person and their story is different and requires specific, rounded care. "
