Therapists in Cheshire, CT

As a PhD level Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who been providing individual, couple and family therapy for the past 20 years, I understand the power of good therapy to help with a range of issues. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, anger, a loss of meaning and hope, communication problems, parenting issues or relationship distress, I have the knowledge, skills and experience to help you heal what hurts and to live a more satisfying life.

Every one of us are complex beings, influenced by our parents, the prevailing culture, our peers, and the social institutions we encounter. We are also carrying the weight of traumatic experiences both small and great. Integrative therapy with a relational focus helps the client develop and realize their true selves, devoid of unwanted influences. This therapy is a journey built on trust and mutual respect. In couples work, we learn how past family scripts effect the marriage. Often times, family members pass these family mantras to their children unknowingly, which results in their depression and anxiety.

As a licensed professional counselor, I believe in helping clients collaboratively work through the course of their treatment, regardless of where they are in their healing process. I provide a welcoming environment and assist with improving overall quality of life utilizing a strengths-based, person- centered approach. I am trained in and utilize various treatment modalities, inclusive of CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing. Those that work with me find that I am enthusiastic and deeply compassionate. I strive to create a comfortable, safe and nonjudgemental environment.

My clinical focus is identifying and intervening on patterns of behavior and thought that prevent individuals from being more satisfied or better adjusted to where they are in their life. We all go through stress, transitions, and hardships. Adversity is a guarantee. What matters is how we deal with the challenges we encounter. Besides having a strong background doing individual work, I also work well with couples in conflict. There is something satisfying about helping a couple work through issues that have been eroding away the happiness and satisfaction that brought them together in the first place.

I am a pre-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have 2 years of experience working closely with children and their families who have been victims of trauma. Through my experience and training I have the ability to work with a variety of clients including children, adolescents, and families who are experiencing various challenges such as depression, anxiety, family conflict, transitions, behavioral challenges, and symptoms related to trauma exposure.

“Currently Holding Video Sessions.” Are you like many others, whom on a daily basis, face a variety of stressors and struggle to keep things organized? Do you, or a close family member juggle many roles, such as work, family, children and relationships? As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I understand that some days are overwhelming, and stress can take an emotional toll. In my practice, I work to help people identify the best ways to incorporate balance in their ever changing lives. Through a supportive environment people learn how to take time for themselves, and/or develop ways to manage more chronic emotional conditions.

My clients are generally seeking to make a change. Some know what they want to change and others may not be as clear first coming in the door. If you are tired of being stuck and you would like to move from surviving to thriving we can work together on finding more effective life skills and healthy ways of living. Struggling with addictions, anxiety, or depression? Let's get to work.. Are you are a parent of an adolescent? Frustrated about life with a teen? We can work together to improve behaviors, relationships and outcomes. Please email with any questions.

Hi my hours are Monday through Thursday from 9am-2pm. I enjoy helping people find balance in their lives. Some of the issues I treat include: depression, anxiety, divorce, couples or family conflicts, self esteem issues and much more. I have been in practice for 25 years and use a variety of techniques to help people feel better and use tools well after therapy is over. Some include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and Gestalt techniques. I often give homework assignments so that healthy work can continue outside of the therapeutic session. I see clients that range in age from 14 thru the elder years.

I can hep you love and appreciate the Self you truly are by combining "power therapies" - EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy, to effect healing that lasts. I love assisting people who experience depression, anxiety, trauma and attachment issues discover their authentic Self under the mire of history and discover their magnificence. It’s my hope that I will be the last therapist you will ever need. Do you ever look into the mirror and don't quite like who you see looking back? Together we can change that and let you love the person you were born to be.
