Past President, Connecticut Psychological Association. I've spent over 40 years providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, individuals, couples, and families, and I grow more fascinated by the process every day.

A certain amount of stress, sadness, and anxiety is expected in our lives. However, when these feelings become overwhelming, they can interfere with daily functioning, relationships, work, and physical health. As a licensed psychologist, I am here to help you cope with life's challenges, learn about yourself, and change problematic thoughts and behaviors. I favor cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) because of its proven effectiveness in treating the problems that I most commonly see, including anxiety, stress, depression, and chronic pain/illness. It is based on the premise that the way we think directly affects how we feel and act.

"Where your needs are met where you're most comfortable" - this is the approach and philosophy I take when working with my clients. I feel that a person needs to be comfortable with me in order to be able to share their stories, their struggles, their secrets.

We'll work collaboratively to figure out what's working and not working within your life and how we can adjust it to help you feel balanced.

I employ the creative arts when applicable in my practice to facilitate fuller expression and to develop and enrich personal metaphors (especially therapeutic writing and the action methods of psychodrama).

I believe that many difficulties are related to our unconscious thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and the unhealthy defenses that we erect, usually in childhood, to protect ourselves against hurt. Once helpful, but now outdated, these defenses prevent self-awareness and the constructive resolution of our problems. These blocks to awareness can contribute to symptoms such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, interpersonal problems, addictive behaviors, etc. I can assist you in developing healthier coping skills, i.e, to identify your defenses, explore your underlying feelings, and rediscover your authentic self.

Through out a lifetime, one will experience periods of mental/emotional, physical or spiritual discomfort/stress, pain or illness. Positive and negative stressors/changes effect our mind and body. The extent in which these changes effect each person varies and depends on biological/genetic pre-disposition, environmental, personal, and/or life situation/circumstance. How a person responds to a life altering experience(s) and stressor(s) is vital to one's mental health. If you are reading this page, you are taking action to seek professional assistance.
