Therapists in North Haven, CT

"Change your thoughts, and your life will change!" For the past 20 years, I have worked with many couples, individuals, and families who have seen the truth of this statement at work in their own lives. As a solution-focused marriage and family therapist, I can help parents who feel ineffective, the teen who loses control, individuals who feel depressed and alone, and couples who feel they are out of options. Together we will uncover new perspectives and skills to break the repetitive cycles that are keeping you stuck, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled.

Life can be complicated and complex. Do you struggle with depression, stress, feelings of hopelessness or helplessness, unmotivated, anxiety, and nervousness? Do you have goals to better understand yourself and the world around you? Do you struggle with daily stressors such as work, friendships, family, and intimate relationships? Do you feel unsupported and alone in your struggle?

To seek therapy takes courage and curiosity. The process of therapy gives us the opportunity to explore the impact of the multiple systems with which we are connected- family, work, home, friends, community- in the context of an affirming relationship with the therapist. Through this process, we come to better understand how we have interacted with these systems over time.

As a trauma-centered and embodied therapist, I combine talk therapy with the use of play, art, and the body as tools for healing and liberation. I am curious about how wounds of the past and harmful expectations have impacted your sense of wholeness. You might be someone who learned exactly who you "ought" to be from a very young age. Boxes are easier to fit into when you're small. They feel safe, too, especially if your family or culture has been boxing parts of themselves away for generations. But any condition that limits your ability to fully step into the wholeness of who you are is ultimately damaging.

I am a highly trained and experienced clinical social worker whose practice invites individuals, couples & families facing adaptational challenges of all kinds throughout the life cycle: infancy through end-of-life.
