Therapists in Old Saybrook, CT

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.

I specialize in helping couples reclaim loving connection using a proven, evidence-based therapeutic approach called Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). If you and your partner are stuck in a pattern of conflict, withdrawal, and disconnection, be reassured: There is hope. Even if you have experienced betrayal and loss of trust, therapy can guide you back to joyful, satisfying, intimate connection. I am also a trained Sex Therapist, and help couples discover the joys of erotic pleasure, play, and connection. Together we can transform your relationship...and your life.

Do you find yourself avoiding intimacy or feeling anxious in social situations? Do you notice that past wounds prevent you from connecting and being in the present? Perhaps you forgot how and who to trust? Are you feeling intense anger, sadness, hopelessness, or frustration? These feelings are not going away despite talking to friends / family. You like you are in a hamster wheel. You are blaming yourself for what happened and feel unworthy of love. Trauma anniversaries bring flashbacks, nightmares, or even feeling "jumpy" triggered at times. Just know that you aren't alone in this!

Welcome! I want to support you on your journey to becoming your best self by helping you identify your needs and goals and taking steps toward balance, acceptance, healing and self renewal. I have 20 years of experience working with children, families and individual's. As a School Counselor I have worked extensively with children and adolescents with depression, anxiety, ADHD, school and social issues. I work with adults with anxiety, depression, trauma work/life stress and relationship issues to find solutions to specific problems, new insights into self, higher levels of functional coping and more effective communication.

Anxiety & Gut-Brain Specialist- I've spent over a decade delving into the science of wellbeing and provide holistic treatment blending psychotherapy, hypnosis, and clinical nutrition. I am obsessed with the gut-brain connection, neuroscience, mental health, & nutrition! I take pride in creating a down-to-earth, compassionate, gentle, and nurturing approach to healing.

Sometimes, life deals us an awful hand with so many wounds and hurts that we have no idea how we'll get through. We feel sad, anxious, overwhelmed, angry, depressed and don't know how to move forward with that emotion. We find ourselves stuck in the same patterns and don't know how to change them. Frequently, our relationships struggle as a result. I believe in becoming whole and healing from these wounds and hurts. I believe each person has innate characteristics that make this healing possible. In therapy, our goal is to remove these constraints that prevent you from accessing your core Self and create a life that feels lighter.
