Currently taking clients for >diagnostic evaluations<, couples, & >group therapy<. I am a caring, evidence-based, and holistic (consideration of the whole) therapist looking forward to challenging cases from people needing my expertise. Making use of a wide variety of therapies, from verbal to non-verbal, devoting much time on each of the select cases I take, and engaging in colleague consultations, I am often able to help with even the most challenging of issues. I also see children, doing family therapy even for the toughest kids. You'll see the difference family support makes, rather than my just trying to "fix the kid".

Accepting new clients: morning, afternoon, and evening appointments! Just like you, I understand the challenges of balancing life’s responsibilities with mental health & well being. My true passion is helping others navigate their own journeys to mental and holistic health. I believe that life’s early experiences and major life events influence the ways we live and relate to others in the present. I am licensed in Connecticut in Florida.

Whether you are struggling with stress, anxiety or relationship difficulties, I can help you. I use my warm, yet direct and honest approach to guide you in making the changes you would like to see in yourself and in your relationship. I enjoy working with couples and adults. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where you can tackle the difficulties you face.

Do you suffer from depression, bipolar, anxiety, chronic stress, or other problem(s) that may be holding you back from reaching your potential? Do you wish you were more productive, healthier, and happier? Are there days when you just can't get out of bed or feel like the world is working against you - or perhaps you feel you are working against yourself? Do you often wish you could wake up and feel more positive about the day ahead instead of feeling anxious, insecure, frightened or hopeless? Do you need someone to hold you accountable, motivate you, and teach and offer you skills to overcome these struggles?

Imagine what it might feel like to manage your anxiety, learn effective coping strategies, and to have more peace in your daily life. Anxious thoughts, free floating worry, and depression can impair memory, sleep, and the quality of life. I am a clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience working in a variety of settings. I have helped many clients navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief.

Accepting New Clients! Sometimes in life it seems like nothing can go right, that one bad day turned into a week and now a year, your thoughts aren’t even making sense! Other times everything is going well, you couldn’t ask for a more “perfect” life but inside it doesn’t feel quite right.

No matter what you are suffering from or want to improve, there are ways to get your brain to function better and give you the life you deserve.

***Evening appointments available*** We all experience times in our lives when we need someone to talk to, someone to listen, someone to help us see things from a different perspective. Whether it’s times of sadness, feeling overwhelmed, or simply finding ourselves at a crossroads, these situations can leave us feeling uncertain about how to move forward successfully in life. For more than fifteen years, I have been helping people to change their lives by increasing their understanding of themselves and the people around them.

With literally hundreds of therapists in New London County alone, it is hard to know who to see. There are so many different degrees, license types, and approaches. By contacting us, we'll help you find a good match with a therapist in our Waterford practice. If we cannot find you a good match within our practice, we will find you one outside of it either nearby or elsewhere in the county (evaluation required).

I believe real change is possible. I feel it is an honor and a privilege to be a change agent. I am a guide in assisting my clients to become their best, most authentic selves possible. The hardest part is taking that first step. Be brave and take that step - you can do hard things - this is the only way to grow and change.

Life is difficult at times and we have all found ourselves in situations that are overwhelming. With more than 35+ years experience as a Clinical Psychologist, my goal is to help you use your inner strengths and resources to overcome your difficulties, to find new strategies to deal with challenges, and enable you to gain a more positive perspective on your life.

Deciding to seek psychological services can be a difficult step. When looking for therapy, the right clinician/client match is essential. My goal is to respond to my clients with compassion, empathy, and in a non-judgmental way, as well as stay up-to-date with the most effective treatment interventions. With over 20 years of experience, have successfully treated people with low self-esteem, assertiveness difficulties, loss/grief, guilt, eating disorders, emotional eating, binge-eating, anxiety, panic, life transitions, divorce/separation, obsessive thinking, relationship struggles, "quarter-life crisis," and depression.

Have you ever felt like you are on a boat lost at sea and you don't know where to turn? There are unexpected life events for human beings that can cause sudden stress, trauma, and challenges in their daily life. Without support some people have no place to turn and they feel hopeless and lost. A change in course cannot occur without action and calling in for support is the first step and sometimes the hardest step. Here at a "safe harbor" you can find respite, guidance, support, and encouragement to work through your challenges and find the inner strength to empower yourself to manifest what you need and your destiny.

LPC and Certified Trauma Therapist using evidence-based interventions with over 16 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families who experience a variety of symptoms related to trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transition difficulties. As a Certified Integrative Medicine Mental Health Practitioner I go beyond traditional therapeutic interventions providing additional holistic wellness solutions.

Have you wondered where your life is going and found that personal difficulties have gotten in your way? My clients come to see me with issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship, children and many other issues. I see symptoms as an opportunity for growth. Therapy, like life, is a journey with definite stages. Initially, I work with the individual in talking about their life and issues of concern. The next stage involves processing and healing the stuck places. As this occurs, I see people then ready to find their resources, living into their goals, their essence, their being.
