If you're stuck in a pattern of behavior or thinking that isn't working for you and you want to feel better, I welcome your call! I use traditional psychotherapy as well as acupressure and other body-based techniques to help clients improve quickly. I particularly enjoy working with individuals who are interested in a holistic approach to healing that includes incorporating diet, exercise and mindfulness strategies. Over the years, my clients have taught me that while some people heal from the head down, many people heal from the body up!
Ask me about 4 hour Marriage Intensives held in Storrs on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 9-11 am each day. Let's move you and your partner more quickly towards a healthy resolution to relationship struggles! Give me a weekend, and I'll curate an individualized experience for you designed to help you dig out what is keeping you stuck. Cost is $800
New in 2025! Now offering 1.25 hour combined talk therapy and EFT/acupressure sessions. Wednesdays only in Storrs. Also new in 2025: EFT/acupressure trainings for therapists. Wednesday evenings in Storrs.
