Therapists in Cheshire, CT

I support individuals, parents and aging adults with compassion, confidence, humor and acceptance, as they navigate life’s transitions. I am an LGBTQ+ ally who works with each client to facilitate change in a safe, supportive environment. Helping each client learn how some beliefs and patterns hinder growth.

I help people discover who they truly are by assisting them to balance emotional, mental and physical health which will lead to harmony in their lives. When we experience this harmony it brings happiness, success and joy. Often we encounter the same issues and problems in relationships with family members, at work, school, and in the community. Our limitations are expressed through our interactions with others. If our mind is preoccupied by memories, we are stuck in a loop and can lose self esteem, motivation and confidence. There are answers. The ability to change behavior and make better choices is always present to us.

Taking an action step towards engaging in counseling is Brave, Courageous, and requires Strength.

Change is an elemental force, often imposing its will on us when we least expect it. It can also be one of the most elusive things in our lives when we try to enact it on our own. Understanding our relationship to change, and what prevents it, provides us the opportunity to harness its power in our own lives. Understanding how your experiences and systemic forces have impacted your life will also be key to our work together as we build a new path forward for you. You have all the energy to enact change inside of you, the next step is determining what prevents this.
